actress. The milkman who delivered great
cans Of milk daily to the actress at her
hotel was hired to bring suit for PAYMENT
SO That there would be a legal record of the
cnse.
That meant certain newspaper notortetv
The idea Of milk baths was new TO New
YORK, though the Emperor Nerotook them in
ancient Rome and the press agent merely
dug into history for his Inspiration.
The notoriety won by the press agent
VINO invented the milk bath story has not
yet died away. The actress who was ad-
vertised through it is still known az the
milk bath actress. But the story Injured
her. Having founded her reputation upon
a iake, she has never been able TO get people
to take her seriously.
In the same way the tanbark story
circulated about an English actress came
very near running her artistic care er in
Lnls country by turning her into a Joke.
Fortunately she was too great an actress
to be permanently injured, but the press
agent who planned the story and spurred
on two departments of the city govern
ment to fight about the presence OF tan
bark IN the street has been viewed with
kindly suspicion e yer since. 2
These were extreme cases Of preaa
agency. But while they brought the busi-
ness INTO disrepute they also tempted
other stars 10 seek similar notoriety.
The elimination Of press agency In its
most extravagant form was seen last sea-
son. when eight different press agents con-
cocted stories and fakes relating to Sarah
Bernhardt. The avalanche Of lies told
about Sarah really increased her receipts,
because people viewed her as a remarkable
curiosity exploited by circus methods.
After seeing Bemhardt consent TO 10
titious yarns and ~extravagant fiction in
which she figured as the central character
some actors and actresses who had pro-
fessed TO scoff at press agents decided 70
adopt similar advertising devices. Each
of the press agents who was formerly en-
ployed by Bernhardt is now receiving a
big salary from some Other sya-.
But how long will they be able to keep
up the pace? h is the question. In
order to keep before the public each star
must appear in a new light. The in ingenuity
Of the press agents must be almost ex-
hausted.
what will take the place Of the diamond
robbery? What will succeed the internal
machine and the pOigoned candy? What
is the SUCCESSOR 20 the milk bath?
The automobile is played out. Horse
back accidents no longer thrill. The rescue
from drO Ghing is commonplace and at best
can only be utilized in the summer. Where,
then, will the players look next for some I'M
usual field in which 20 achieve things and
get talked about?
Every available quarter Of the earth
has been overworked by the theatrical pneaa
agent. The air and the sky seem the only

to detail a patrolman to assist the ~reveller
to get safely into his house.
Still another man who had imbibed too
freely called up the police and said that
he wished to be locked up. He refused to
give any reason for his request. He wanted
to spend the night in a cell and threatened
the sergeant with expulsion from the police
force il his request was not granted.
Some women seem to think that the
police are ready to perform any service.
For instance, one woman got into a quarrel
with her maid and the latter promptly
announced that she would leave at once.
Threats Of refusal to pay the remainder
Of a due did not deter her, and then
the mistress called up the police and made
the following complaint:
MY maid is going to leave me this very
minute. Now, sergeant, | am entertaining
friends at dinner tonight and l shall be
in a dreadful mess II she goes away. l
want you to send an officer around here
and keep her from leaving me until after

could not help her she was angry and after

She could not be made to understand Why

Another woman thought il was the duty
OF the police to maintain the dignity and
peace in the community ever TO the extent
Of stopping cat fights on her back fence.
She called up Headquarters shortly after
midnight one night and in trembling tones
won't you send an officer round here at

members at a nominal price. and by the ex-
penditure OF 81 in this way a model may earn
SIS.
There are gowns ranging from Greek
and Roman draperies down to modern
European peasants costumes. Besides
there are up 70 date frocks Of every sort,
from the chico cloth street costume to a ball
gown. All the details of the character
costumes are authentic and the depart
ment is under the supervision OF Mrs. Ed
ward Sperry. one of the club directors and
herself the wife Of an artist. Many women,
some Of them conspicuous socially. con-
tribute their castoif inery TO the club
and very imposing indeed, are some OF the
gowns donated, the materials of the finest
quality and the garments themselves
scarcely mussde.
The registration bureau is another valu-
able feature of the club and by means of
it most Of the girls are kept occupied. Here
artists can hire just the kind Of models they
need.
In the basement OF the building is a din
ing room. furnished with dainty china,
pretty linen and, best Of all, delicious
culinary chef ~d'Guvres, for although the
menus offered are not extensive, everything
il cooked in the most spPetizing manner
possible. For rs cents Inner may be had
consisting, for instance. Of lamb, baked
fish or roast pork, potatoes. beans, lettuce,
fruit and pudding. while for is cents a
luncheon Of lamb stew rice, baked potatoes,
eggs in some form, biscuits, apple sauce
and ginger snaps or some similar combina-
ton can be procured.
Most models specialize. few are physically
81 nearly perfect that they are used for the
entire figure. One will be noted for her pretty
foot, another for a swanlike neck, another
for the dainty modelling OF her ear and the
fine line Of the neck and shoulder.
An exception TO the rule is Miss Malvina
Longfelder, who though small in stature
possesses more of the attributes necessary
for figure posing than most models. She
is versatile. being able to represent more
characters successfully than almost any
other artists model in the city. As a
saucy Spanish girl she is typical and as

with her eyes closed and then opening them
suddenly just for an instant Mt the right
time in the exposure of the plate.
When the picture was taken she had to
sit for a long while with her eyes closed
and then she opened them fast, just as she
had practised, so that when the picture
came out her eyes had the sort of half
closed expression and we're a fattened out
oval as The Japanese eyes are.
1t sometimes takes a long time for the
model to get used to the character she is
posing for.
They have to be as much actors as per-
sons on the stage" says one photographer.
They have their rehearsals to go through
and all that sort Of thing.
They have to be thoroughly immersed
in and saturated with the idea Of a part be-
fore they are able to pose successfullyfor it
They go round for long stretches ROBBED
as they nave TO be when the picture is to be
ma de, and little by little they get around
to the idea that the photographer is trying
to get.
Some models nave 80 much individuality
that they are limited in the things they may
do. Miss Croft's hair and eyes make her a
fine head model. She does almost nothing
else.
sMiss Thesis has a ~willowy, svelte figure
and she is a great success in clothes pictures.
Fashion work is much in her line. Miss
Norris is at her best in the poses where the
simplicity idea is in view.
in fashion work these girls do ever so
much better than the young women who
work in the stores. because they are more
used to the strain of posing and are not ner-
vous under the light, as the others are.
by the way, all the talk about the
pleasures Of the life OF models would be

stopped If those who say that sort OF thing
could see how hard these girls have to work
It's 10 funto beup early and stand in all sorts
of poses until the evening, and it Ia very
fatiguing.
These girls are like actresses PLAYING
a part, as | a V said. Yet when you zee
some of them in their street clothes and
then see some Of the results OF the Doses
they take You wonder how the results are
obtained. Some girls apparently are I'M
beautiful and ungraceful and Yet there 10
something in the photographs of them
that is e~minently attractive"
There are a lot of ~annoyances and vexA-
lions in the posing, 90. Often and often
the photographer makes mistakes in RauR-
ing lights, exposures and time and the work
Of hours may gofor nothing. The girl after
sitting and turning this way and that for
an hour or two may at length reach the de-
sired pose and the exposure may be made
and later it may be found that the
photographer was at fault and that the
picture was a failure.
This class Of work has come to have a
great attraction for the models. They
like It for a change. because it differs from
the work most Of them ave been doing.
1t is no easier than the other styles Of
posing and in many cases harder. The
camera artist is a muc harder master than
the wielder Of the paint brush and the
camera shows up a lot Of defects that the
painter might gloss over. Even after the
negative has been retouched and fixed
over II sometimes tells the truth rather too
plainly and the result is not so good as it
Just at present there are not very many
photographers who do the work that re-
quires models. The idea is so new hat IL
has not taken great hold.

he threw it around the neck of his
