French Art Models Make the Best oi
Existence, Which is Not Always
a Merry One.
"At twilight from out qualut doors
and old courtyards troop the models
suddenly enlivening street corners.

Ithey Imust stand in a given pose, of
fering their immobility to students ox
to trained masters. It is not ni
easily itquired profession. To post
successfully, one must have Iiagina
tion as well ats disciplined body ; one
must be able to become the tangible
expression of an esthetic idea. They
know that the artist who uses them
bids them farewell and goes his way.
iThey know the seasons when work Is
scarce. They realize the cost of bread,
itho cost of finery. Their standards are
modest enough. One certainly cannot
become very rich or reckless by pos
ing; but, then, one does not associate
wealth with artists or, for that mat
ter, with any form of serving them.
These kind-hearted children of Mont
parnasse adju-st their demands to the
artist's pocketbook. They know that,
whenever he is able, Ie will share with
them whatever good comes to him,
;Ie will give them suall gifts-a cov

offer a round of aperitifs at the little
cafe on the corner, often he will treat
them to a day in the coutry. No
price Is too high or too low for the
fellowship involved.

Proof positive that each one of us
is for himself the center of the uni- I
verse, that what "our folks" do is tho c
proper thing. and all else mere eccen- (

out most engagingly In childhood.
"She can speak lreich most beauti

Sara, after having described at length
to the familly at the supper table the
charms and accomplishments of a iiew
friend, a girl who had lived several
years abroad, and had come recently
to Sara's school. 0
"I know a girl," put In Elsle at this
polit, with an air of importance, "and
she used to live in England. She's In
:miy kindergarten, and she can speak
$tnglish, I guess." |<
"Well, what of that?" demanded I I
1Sara. "So can you speak English."
"Oh, no, I cln't ; I don't know how I
Why, of course I can't speak English,"
Elslo appealed from the laughing faces
now turned toward her, "can I, moth

"Certainly you can speak 1English.

speaking it now."
"What? Is it English we're talk
Ing right this uinute? Is it truly,
mother?"
"Of course, xny dear ! What lan
gunge did you suppose it was that wo
'talk?'"
"WVhy, mother, I didn't suppose It

i the last issue of the Winthrop Col- g
