thus to challenge the conventions and even the

this conception.
The question Of the artists model, the
eternal feminine" Of course, Ike that Of the
stage, is a question in which many people
seem to take considerable and, indeed, at times
uncalled for interest.
In the case OF the artists model, it is per
haps not TO be wondered at that when a girl
as a model must so completely ignore all the
safeguards with which society and convention
have fenced in womanhood, the world should
speculate as to what manner Of person she is,
or will presently become, nor can II altogether
be considered guilty Of rash judgment If It is
inclined to reckon such girls as more or less
outside the pale.

vention, custom are shut outside the walls Of

In sense this was the most momentous OF our
moves, from my point of view. The boarding house
in Arch street marked the beginning Of my indie

a being whose life was directed by the within or the
circumstances OF another.
Hitherto and the rest of the world had revolved
about my mother. She was In my eyes the central
attraction around which animated creation grated
Arch street represented the period Of transition; the
stage during which the center Of attraction slowly
but surely shifted.
Il was there I met 9 Mrs. Darach who was an

with an aching neck, with the yearning de-

which the artist put me, to move my head
exactly in the direction she did not wish me
to look and to fdget at moments when 1t was
essential that should keep quite still.
Here, then. began the great education, an
education the fruit Of which was to serve me
IN such good stead in later years. Other ar
