Life of Model For Great Artist Not Easy, Pleasant One The glamour that fiction throws about the life of an artist's model is not duplicated in real life. Accord- ing to the models themselves, posing is hard work and can become just as tiresome as anything else. Even the pleasure of seeing one's own face or figure on canvas cannot remove the ache from one's joints. Posing usu- ally brings anywhere up to one dol- lar an hour, but most models cannot pose for more than five or six hours a day. Only half that time can be spent in a standing position, and for the remainder the model must take a sitting pose. To be a good model, one need not of necessity be beautiful. For stu- dents who are learning anatomy or the structure of the face, the bones should be prominent ana no willowy curves are desired. hand, for advanced modelling classes, beautiful curves are sought and the head and face should have a fine con- tour. "Let me show how your head is set on your neck" is a request not infrequently made by an instructor of a model. For classes in painting, coloring is essential rather than form, and costumes are usually chosen which will bring out the coloring. An Art school usually hag a num- ber of models upon whom it may de- pend, and it tries to protect -them by hiring models from outside only when it is absolutely necessary. Be- cause of this it is possible for a model to become a professioal and to earn a livelihood by posing alone. At the Art Institute a well known figure is "the captain," an old French- man who has been posing for many years. He will be ninety years old in May, but his imagination has not suffered with the years and he tells stories whose veracity will often not bear close inspection. He has always maintained that he was a relative of Sarah Bernhardt's. When the divine Sarah was last in America she was asked if this could be true. "It may be," said she, "God only knows. 1 have relatives everywhere." The impression that models are of the frivolous type is not always well founded. Frivolity is not consistent with so exacting a profession. One of the models at the Art Institute recently informed the school that she would not be able to pose in the evening because she was studying French. On inquiry it became appar- ent that she was master of seven languages, that languages were her hobby and that some day she ex- pected to travel and make use: of her accomplishments. "Crepuscular" Sun Rays. The beams of light sometimes seen radiating from the sun when not far from the horizon are called "crepuscu- lar rays." They are due to rays of light passing through breaks in the clouds and made visible by dust or fine drops of water in the air. Their ap- parent divergence is an effect of per- spective. The phenomenon is popularly described as "the sun drawing water"; sailors speak of the "sun's backstays," while Homer wrote of the "rosy- fingered dawn."
