They went on to say that Patricia is

Patricia is the snub-nosed doll belong

old daughter, and he is capable of pro-

They went on to give me startling
picture of the domestic felicities in the
homes of the artists. They painted for
me vision of John Alonzo Williamss
white-haired mother chaperoning them
while they posed and helping them
metamorphize a window curtain into
wedding veil. They said that Galen J.

when in the ancient whaling port Of
New Bedford he sprawled about in
blacksmith shops where old salts, just
in from three-year jaunts across the
whale paths" rehearsed the tales that
gave him his first love for the sea. He
even tells them on certain intimate oc
casions about that solitary time when
his fellow artists forced him into a
dress suit, to the damnation Of his own
disposition and eleven collars. But he
does not firt. They just couldn't i'm

There was C. f. Chambers and MS
wife, who both used the same models,
they reminded me. Did think there
was much danger of any artist who
knew that the next day or the day after
his wife would be shut up in solitary
confinement with a girl for five hours
or so indulging in fattery? Not that

summed up the Magazine Cover Girl

about artists models. OF course,
Every one does.
They were butterflies, no doubt, just
as George Kibbe Turner and others had
called them. They were salamanders,

about models from 'er. stood by while
the salamander warmed her wings on
the gas plate on which her dinner was
bubbling, and learned about models
from 'er.
It was all so dreadfully unromantic.
A model who used to be a schoolmarm
in a country town out West has as
sured me that teaching babies is wild,
off-color, flirtatious existence compared
TO being a model in New York. And,
now that know the facts and figures,
believe her.
A certain Magazine Cover Girl,
known to every big illustrator in town,
gave me my first lesson in models rs
they really are. Minus the red para
sol and the f1amboyant complexion she
wears on the newsstand and plus a
high collar and a few freckles, she
bounced into the room, glared at us,
banged herself into a chair, and threw
wadded-up magazine half way across
the room. It wasn't far, for it was

only guest, had to do it. The Art Gal

proving dignity, and the little Post

seam, and had got up to put the lentils
on.

Cover Girl set heel that wasn't at all

"The stuff they write about artists
models. No one has ever told the truth
about us yet Why don't you? That's
