OSING may be called the SOC
cupation OF last resort" While
I met a few bright young men
and women who were using
posing as a means to an end-stu-
dents generally-the majority Of mod
els were insipid creatures who, had
gradually waxed weaker and weaker
in the struggle OF life and had drifted
into posing. where they might secure
a livelihood with the minimum amount
of physical and mental effort. The
scarcity Of good. intelligent. wide
awake models makes the use OF the
washed out ones" by the artists prac-
tically a necessity.
One meets the girl who is studying
music and paying her way by posing;
the chorus man and the chorus girl
who are trying TO keep soul and body
together between engagements; the
broken-down actor. who wakes reIni-
niscent on the slightest provocation
and quotes Shakespeare by the cubic
ward: and the girl who has been pos
ing since her father died. Aside from
these types the greater number OF
models are nondescripts OF the dead
level variety.
