RODIN'S REVENGE ON PULITZER Sculptor Got Even For Publisher Sub
 iact's ExeeSSivA MOdeSty

JoctS EXcoSSIVo MOueSty
 The late, Joseph Pulitzer was singu- larly delicate about being fully clad and could not bear to have any part of his person exposed to the gaze of another. His sensitiveness in this particular de- veloped in an amusing way at Cap Martin in the spring of 1910 when, af- ter much negotiation, the great Rodin was commissioned to execute bust
 Rodin insisted that MT. Pulitzer in posing should lay bare his shoulders in order that the boise of the head might be correctly revealed. To this Mir. Pulitzer objected strenuously. Rodin was obdurate but it was not until he threatened to throw up the commission and return to Paris that his subject sur rendered, and then only on condition that none but his immediate attendants should be admitted to the studio.
 This was agreed to and the work went on, the model proving very petulant and unruly and refusing to talk to Rodin, who naturally wished to put his sitter at ease and to get at least glimpse of his mind.
 The contract was for busts in bronze and in marble. The bronze is mere head with no attempt to indicate the shoulders. The marble goes further and here Rodin had his revenge; for he laid a bit of ruching across the chest, playfully suggestive of a chemise !- Don c. Seitz in the Atlantic Monthly.
