which has just finished an inspection
trim down the Mississippi river, from

st Louis and left for Missouri City
near where the party boarded the gov

souri, during the trip, but the com
missioners were later granted per-
mission to invite as guests Kansas
CITY men interested in the Missouri
navigation enterprise.
The boat Missouri was to have
taken the commission on board at
Kansas City, but Capt A. j. Stair,
the commander, sent word that
the swollen current Of the river
was too strong for the snagboat,
which was not built for fighting high
water. and that he could not get near
er than Missouri City. 1t is expected
that the trip from Hull's Point, five
miles below Missouri City, to the
mouth Of the river will be made in
| two and one-half days.
I While in Kansas City the commits
sioners were entertained at break
fast at the Hotel Baltimore by w. S
/ Dickey, Mr.. Wilson and a number o
members Of the Commercial club.

TNHE artists model 70 fast giving
precedence to the photographers
model, and the latter young lady has
face and figure.
Photographs are being used more
and more for illustration and advertis-
ing purposes, and each photographer
who makes speciality of this sort of
thing has q list of models he con-
tinually employs.
Many Of these are employed in the
chorus. but the most Of them have no
other occupation, and indeed they
need none, for they are well paid. and
if they have the right face and figure
they have continual employment
To be well groomed is essential to
the photographers model. The camera
has trick of revealing its sitter's bad
points as well as good ones. and rough
hair or poorly kept nails show up only
too distinctly
The model must have regular, clear
cut features and a fine poise Of the
head and shoulders.
A certain fashion illustrator saw a
very stunning girl seated at tele-
phone board and on the spot engaged
her as a model He had not seen her
standing, however. and II was found
that she was very petite, too much so
to wear the ornate Partisan creations
he was advertising. The difficulty
however, was remedied by standing
her on piles OF books, boxes, etc, and
with the truly regal carriage of her
head and shoulders she suggested

for pictures in which she poses more

Judgment
The stout figure is not desired as q
model. She is unwieldy to pose, and
the camera seems to take a f1endish
delight in magnifying her.
The girl who has no animation In
her face is another drug on the model
market. She must be adaptable am

Men are not polite naturally. They

If we women want polite men around
we must not stand for anything that

allow him to remain seated while a
