Model Bourse In Berlin.

Berlin, Jan. "A model bourse'
or Exchange" has been established
In Berlin. This should not be con-
strued as a model "stock exchange"
where you car win but not lose
money. 1t is a "bourse" or market,
where artists and painters may buy
the time and services Of models
in other words, living pictures,
which are to be conveyed to canvas
OF embodied in marble.
Berlin's steadily increasing artist
colony has found more or less diff
Guilty In securing models. The sup
ply has not been equal to the de-
mand. Out of this grew the model
bourse." It Is located in the home
of one of Berlin's best know artists.
Here models and artists meet daily.
AS models must show more or less

may Judge whether suitable for his

quests from friends for permission

SHIRTWAlST OF WASH SILK
Always in Order, but Design Must Be
Left to Discretion of the
Wearer.

The soft wash-silk shirtwaist is
made more or less plain, according tc
the figure that its wearer possesses.
For those who are plump the plainest
models are chosen But shoulders are
long and so are sleeves.
The neck of these waists is finished
with long sleeves and wide sailor col
lars as soft and rather high at the
back Cuffs are turned back, and link
buttons are worn with some of them.
BY way of a little frivolity, jabots
of net or lace provide a finishing touch
which seems superhuous with the four
in-hand tie, but is nevertheless in evil
dence.
When made up for a slender figure
these waists are set to a yoke in the
back and fulled into the shoulder in
front. The collars are widened
Soft waists of crepe cloth are made
plain with long sleeves and wide col
lars as well as in the regulation de-
signs just decribed. Turnback cuffs
often finished with crystal buttons.
These waists are opened at the throat.
