A striking looking young woman model

among artists there. She was. refined
and cultivated; her voice and manner

Semitic type sometimes found among
Jewish women, with a clear, olive COM
plexion. exquisite red lips and softly
waving. heavy black hair. Neither the
artists nor anybody connected with art
circles ever found out who she was or
even her name. They knew her as

The woman who settles down to pos
ing as a life occupation must take care
to keep herself in shape and trim. She
must practice constantly the physical
culture that makes her graceful and
timber. She must know how to sit and
stand gracefully and how to preserve
the perfect rounded. outline of face and
figure. A good professional model is
apt to be a great walker and to take
long, deep breaths habitually. She is
also strong on the use of water, hot and
cold. She eats simple, but nourishing
food, keeps regular hours and gets
plenty of sleep.
The sculptors of ancient Greece,
where the perfect human form was al
most worshiped, found not once in ten
thousand times q model possessing all
the points of beauty. Perhaps one
model had a perfect arm. another a
perfect head, another an exquisite ear,
a fourth beautiful foot, while the fifth
might possess like Katisha, a mag
netic shoulder blade. So they COM
bined the beauty points of maybe a
dozen models into one perfect whole.
And that is what painters and sculp-
tors do today.
Some very nice and talented girls
have helped pay their way through coll
lege by posing for artists, and there are
those who are still doing SO. One
handsome young man who is a student
at Harvard helps meet his expenses by
posing as a Gibson girl.
You would scarcely believe 1t, and the
mother of every infant in the land will
vow it isn't so, but the most difficult
model to secure is. a beautiful baby.

Speaking of noodles" it is worth

she must be beautiful, slender, grace

preston of some kind. 1t is we'll.
That Is what every woman ought to
be. We may hope the demand for the
perfect physical woman in art will
make the actual woman realize more
and more in her body and expression
Of countenance the grace and attrac-

One of the signs of the developing
American aesthetic sense is the de-

on earth there are stars in the sky, the world,
they believe, will come to an end In cold
country, where fires are needed more than half
the year, this belief is, of course cause OF
much inconvenience A little casuistry, however,
enables them to get over the difficulty. One
fire. originally lighted with tinder or matches, IS
always kept alive, two trbesmen being constant
ly on the watch Fires for domestic use are
lighted by taking a brand from this chief fire.
The Shamanist logic is that these latter are not
real fires not having been kindled by artificial
means. They merely parts OF the great hre;
their extinction causes no harm.
In the year of 1906 Just past Bradford,
Eng, man kept his study fire burning tor seven
months because of a dream. In this dream he
saw his fire suddenly go out and the next moment
he imagined he was bankrupt and starving. Be
ing somewhat superstitious he has since insisted
upon the fire being kept up. If it goes out he
firmly believes financial trouble will overtake
him.
Near Debreezn in Hungary, is fire which

that long term the fire in the kitchen has never

tSElGNl past few years than even the enthusi-
astic pioneers in the cement and re.
inforced concrete business anticipated.
Nothing appears too large to be built of concrete.
The office building and summer hotel, the faT
tory and warehouse, and pretentious residence of
concrete daily making their appearance, and
appear to have simply bounded into popularity.
However, it begins to look though the great
future consumption of cement-and during 1906
the production in America alone over 40 ,
100000 barrels-is to be in the construction of
small utilities that heretofore have been built
of wood metal. There does not appear to be F,
any limit to the multiplicity of uses to which &C.
ment can be put in the home and on the farm.
Indeed the farmer is becoming Of the largest
consumers of cement in this country and the
agricultural schools, and colleges. rejecting the
demand, have introduced into the curriculum
courses in the of concrete. The farmer is
using concrete for his barns milk-houses bigger
les sllos, fence posts, smoke houses. chicken runs
watering troughs and hundred and one other
contrivances incidental to the conduct of agri.
cultural and dairy operations. The argument
that appeals most to the farmer in influencing
his choice of concrete for such construction is
not the first cost, cement work being relatively
more expensive than wood. notwithstanding the
advanced price of the latter but the fact that
such articles nearly indestructible and re-
qure practically no care expenditure for main
tenance. Once properly built, a concrete water
ing trough will outlive the rest of the farm
equipment built of wood or iron.
MYSTERY OF PREPARATION DISPELLED.
When cement was first manufactured in this
country a great deal of mystery surrounded the
process, but this has all disappeared, and at the
present time cement manufacture is generally un.
derstood to be an exceedingly simple process.
The use of cement, however, has been very
much restricted by the failure of the general CON
sumer to appreciate the fact that anyone, by
following simple directions can make good con
crete, and with the assistance of carpenter to
build the molds or forms, can convert concrete
into any structural shape desired.
