GOTHAM GIRL MODELS Over One Hundred Young 1 Women Who Are Profes sional Posers. GOOD WAGES COMMANDED. Miss Pauline Bradley. When She Poses, the Ideal Vir ginia. STUDY OF FEMALE FORMS. Miss Arabella Gold, Miss Ella Stirling and Other Noted Models. There are In New York city about 100 younx women who are not feeline the hard time*, although they are waste earners and depend upon the patronage they receive, says the New York iler a!J. But in their eases they are the exceptions to the rule that "when one business is dull all businesses are equally dull." for their work is of a kind for which there is a constant da mand, and there is little or no opposi tion to them in their peculiar field. These 100 young women act a»models for the first-class artists of New York. It is suitl that no young woman, is ever perfectly proportioned all over. If she is iii:lit in arm her waist is usually too long for her length of body, and if waist and body are equally adjusted then there is trouble wiih her outlines; and where an artist looks to find a lovely curve he meets a cruel hollow or too much adipose to be graceful. The greatest trouble is knock knees, and few are the youne women who, whether from high heels or careless walking, do not have the slight outward tendency of the calves which betokens this defect. Uut the cue hundred young women heie mentioned are as tree from these faults as any one hundred girls in the world, for it is to New York that all the best models come from all over the world. One of the best models in the city, or, for that matter, to be found anywhere, is Miss Callahan. This younir woman has posed for ail the artists in the city, nnd is now away for the summer with William M. Chase and his family. Miss Callahan is Mr. Chase's favorite model; and it is to secure her for the season that he takes her away to his summer home. She is rather tall, exquisitely proportioned and quite pretty of face. m W v-^" '_3_*t*<-_; r J^iy'k|BA_Jl;rN7 Eler principal accomplishment is her ability to catch the idea of the artist for whom she is posing, and to retain the expression he requires for his sub ject. Miss Callahan can look sad for hours at a lime, or she can be merry as a mountain nymph. Mr. Chase considers her indispensable to his work. Girls Whose Pose In Perfect Another lovely model is Miss Pauline Bradley. She is the ideal Virginia, and. whether merry with Paul, or lying dead upon the beach in "The Death of Vir ginia," she is equally successful. She is a very conscientious poser, and never for a minute allows herself to take ad vantage of the artist's rant attention to bis canvas to tall into sagging attitudes, or to mislead him by catching for a min nte an easier pose. She is always per fect, if properly directed at first, the ar tists say. Miss R. L. Paine had the honor to be for several months a model for the stat ues at the world's fair. Three months before the fair opened she was taken to Chicago by a party of artists, and there ehe remained, posing for all sorts of Rraceful female figures— ideal, allegor loal, heroic and angelic. She has been everything, from the baby Cupid on the wall coming out of a cornucopia in company with several others of gradu ated size, to tho old woman who picks up chips in the. streets. Nearly all of her posing, however, is for the nude, as she is beautifully formed. Frequently an artist requires an old woman for a model, and then his trouble begins. It is seldom that a woman past middle age has kept her form well. She may be too fleshy or too :**^^,__-ii!. j»_, Arabella Gold. x i thin, too bent, or, by some defect of walk, too deformed. But when sued a woman is found she is a great prize, and is paid better, flattered more and petted twice as much as her pretty younger sisters, because she is a rarer specimen; and in the studio favor is governed entirely by artistic require ments. One of the richest" working women of New YorK city is a woman (it past sixty, who has posed Miiee she was a young girl, and who boasts that six can now pose fur "hi-ad 1 * pictures oi young girl subjects, os her ryes are im dimnied' and her color smotl."* Mostly, though, she is a draped picture for uuu pictures and dowagers, besides old I'omen of the streets, and madonnas. The chief grief of an artist is that after he has found a good model and trot her trained so that she understands ex- pression and the art of keeping her pose for fifteen long minutes she begins to realize how beautiful she Is, and so goes upon the stage. One by one the best models disappear la this way. and the artists sec them no inure until they read their names upon the playbills, and it is to be recorded that they usually make great "bits" and are mucfc admired. Beautiful Minn Gold. One of the most recent lights in the stasre world, though as yet she has been seen only us a living picture in the larg« theaters, is Miss Arabella Gold, for a long time the model of Sarony and of other artists. Miss Gold is very tal ented. She began ns a young reporter, then went singing in concert halls, found she was beautiful, posed to artists to get money to study for the stage, and is now in Boston awaiting her debut. Miss Gold is petite, but so perfectly proportioned that tier smallness is not noticed by an artist. A model much sought after, and a lady of very excellent education and admirable in every personal attribute, is Mrs. Cook, whose form graces every large picture exhibition ever held in the city. She is a widow with three children, all of whom she supports by posing, and. besides that, she lives nicely and goes in very good society, where her occupation Is known, and she is much petted on account of her beauty of face and figure. And this brings out tne question of a model's pay. So many false stories are told concerning the sums earned by Dosing that it is well to settle the point beyond dispute. An artist's model is -S_«-V Wj^^^km^ V*\\ -^ __£ x.-"*^"*^* til A §» IrsllMCa* pa ; d $1 an hour— no mora and no less. If she poses half a day, an afternoon, she gets -?5, and for a whole day §10. It is seldom that a model is hired for the whole day, as an artist cannot work upon one subject so steadily. But if he is rich and succeeds he keeps her in readiness to await his mood, and pays her just the same. It is then that the model brlnirs her lunch and her book, and realizes that her lot has fallen iv a very pleasant path. Very often an artist is too poor to pay a model for every hour she spends In his studio. Suppose he has chance visitors, who, being possible patrons, cannot be neglected, and yet he wants to paint on his picture. He then says to the model: "I will pay you §10 a week, and I want you for every spare minute you get. Then the model, who Is invariable con scientious, drops in upon him at all hours of ihe day, and if he has no callers Bits for him. Miss Ella Sterling and Miss Nellie Taylor, the latter now a little chubby, are very fine models and very One young women as well. Indeed, it may be stated that all good models are young ladies of rare mental attributes, or they would be unable to catch the artistic inspiration, and so could never give the right expression to the pictures. Like Professional Beauties. Professional models are like profes sional beauties in society. They have a great deal to start with. But, unless they supplement this with great care on their Dart, they would never hold their own In con p i tition with others ot their set. In many respects a model must treat herself as it she were a society beauty, and so In many ways her life is as expensive as the women of the 'smart set." Models must be very careful not to catch cold, for a cold makes the face red, and redness is not the peaches and cream shade desired for a picture. They must be careful, too, to avoid stiffness and neuralsiaand iheumatism. as these make a pose difficult to get and tiresome to maintain. They must, above all tnings. avoid the injuries like "black and blue spots" and. cuts and burns, for nothing makes" an artist more provoked than to be compelled to supply flesh tints to his pictures. The chief trouble with an artist's model, like that of any woman who longs to remain beautiful, is her tend ency to get stout. As soon as she loses her lines she might as well retire from all poses for the nude. Hereafter sho must pose corseted and draped and in society dress. For this work she gets only a little pay. possibly 60 cents au hour, and this "kind of a model more often than not starves to death sum mers and in dull seasons. A large revenue is obtained by a few elegantly formed girls who pose for portraits. A society woman will order her picture painted, and trill then hire a girl to sit while the dress Is being done. The lady herself only sits tor face, neck, hands and hair. "Thus the sitting for a portrait, which i 9 usually such a long and tedious operation, is made much easier. The lady who is being painted drops in from time to time, to be sure that the gown is receiv ing the. touches and lines it woujd have if she herself wers wearing it, instead of the "clothes horse," which the model sometimes facetiously terms herself. There is a, model's story illustrative of the attention which an artist pays to his model. It was a picture of a laugh in;; girl, witli her head in her hands, that was on the canvas. And the artist had it nearly done. "Now, keep very still," said he, "and I will finish that chin." "You have kept me In position for more than an hour without a rest," said the model, "and 1 am setting nervous.' "Please, dear Miss A., do not mention resting just now," cried tho enthusias tic artist; "lam just in the painting mood, and 1 shall finish the laughing trirl in another hour. Now, attention, please." Tbe Model Cried. But the model, weary, as she after ward said, so that she "really couldn't help it," began to cry, ever so little, let ting her chin quiver and her lips pout unsmilingly. Meanwhile the artist painted rapturously, watching every line in the chin, and copying it exactly. Was the picture a success? Far from it. It was torn up, stamped upon, thrown away, and thu model sent flying out of the door when the artist realized how she had made him spoil what he hoped would be a masterpiece. This story is only to show that gay badinage is not indulged in during painting mo ments; nor are artists and their models lv the habit of conversing. Sir Joshua ileynolds and the painters of his day, whether painters of the nude or the draped, had no difficulty in get ting models, nor were they put to any expense, lv those halcyon artistic days there were fewer painters, and these few were lionized beyond belief. The highest tribute an artist could pay a so net v lady was to ask her to pose for one ot his pictures. All me old pictures have the hands of celebrated beauties, and the uudraped pictures brought over for the Chicago fair were the forms of ;old-tiure famous beauties. And history tells how they arrived at tho artists' studios with their maids in attendance; and how careful the artist was to have a luncheon pro > .v. >i lor tiietii. and the rooms suffi cieuiiy warm lor my lady in decollete.

But that does not prevent a very large army of good aud beautiful women from following the profession. WKOXE "HK.WKXIiY TWIXS." Sarah Grand Has stepson? Named Me Fall. Sarah Grand, who has bl own the shrillest bugle call of all the prettico.it brigade, was at the reception of the Authors' club a short time ago, and one could hardly believe that the little wo man, almost shrinking into the em brasure of the window, was the success ful authoress of "The Heavenly Twins." and the original of the poetio photo graph bearing her name. She appeared In a dark blue dress with commonplace white lace at the throat, and a drooping black hat dressed with pink roses. A few days later she was serving tea to a number of her friends at one of her Monday "at homes," and looked very feminine and attractive in an empire covvu of gray crepon with gray satin sleeves. Her manner Is shy and her welcome cordial, yet she has not the air of a woman of the world, and her personal ity and face are somewhat unsympa thetic. If her nature is ardent it is not revealed in her almost embarrassed manner. In person she is of medium size, slender, without decided coloring, except in her hair, which is a pretty warm brown, and is worn in a sort of "scrumble" over the brow and in a loose, large knot on the nape of the neck. Her eyes are light blue, and are not remarkable. To oe frank, Sarah Grand has not the self-possessed air of a married woman, although It is said she was married at ATJTriOR OF "HEAVENLY TWINS." sixteen to a much older man, and soon after divorced. She looks like a spinster of perhaps forty, with whom happiness has played will o' the wisp tricks. The note of pessimism in her books is re flected In the drooping muscles and weary expression of her face. She lives in a pretty flat in Wynnestay Gardens. Kensington, and her admirers have to climb six long flights of stairs to reach their star. She has chosen this eyrie to escape the noise of the street, and lives here with her two stepsons, whose names are McPall, and who also write and draw cleverly for the illus trated papers. The elder Mr. MeFall cannot be many years tbe junior of his gifted "belle mere," and is her man of affairs.negotlating the sale ot her books, tor, as she says, "it is Impossible for me to attend to ray busiuess and try to write." It Is enough for the artist to atteud to her work. Her Hat is a light, airy apartment, and on the door plate is her name. "Mrs. C. R. MeFall," but above it in larger letters Is "Madame Sarah Grand," by which title she insists upon being called. No one seems to know why she la called madame instead of Mrs., but it Is the custom, and she is usually ad dressed by the full name, which is de cidedly awkward in conversation. The entrance hall of her apartment Is hung with souvenirs from Africa, tro phies brought home by her stepsons, and resembling Mexican weapons, hats and baskets. Tbe drawing and dining rooms look more like an American house than English, and are furnished in a light style, with framed drawings and etchings on the light-colored walls, with summer draperies aud cushions about the rooms. Asked if she wrote her stories from personal conviction, or from a literary aptitude toward the suuject, she re plied: "I write what I feel and believe, and 1 love to turn over human nature." She added that she had been greatly repressed in her youth; that she was never allowed to have an opinion or to be as "oad" as she wanted to, and said: "It is such a satisfaction now to have a pea in my band and to be able to talk back as much as I want to." Some one said. "Is it true that you offered the MMS. of 'The Heavenly Twins' to eleven publishers?" '•No, only to five, and when they would not have it 1 had it set up at my own expense in a country printing press, and then sent the book again to Mr. Ueineinan, the publisher, who finally agreed to take it and pay me the cost of printing, 100 guineas, and to give me £100 more." She did not add the. fact that the pub - Usher found on carefully reviling the book that the language was too frank for a prudish public, and, in conse quence, all the original 500 volumes were destroyed and a carefully expur gated copy was printed and circulated. Since the publisher has given the au thoress a bonus of £100 on each of the eleven editions, and her subsequent productions have not been sacrificed at such a low price. Delightful Thomas Hardy, with his quaint old-fashioned manners and his clever wife, to whom as his secretary "Tess" aud "A Pair of Blue Eyes" and his other stories were all dictated, was also a tea drinker at Sarah Grand's little bamboo table.

A Stranger's First Impressions of the Gambling Resort. Hartford Courant. We drove to Monte Carlo today «od stayed to lunch, after which we went to th« Casino to sec the gambling. Monte Carlo and the adjoining strip of land, Monaco, not more than four miles square altogether, form the principality of Monaco and belong to the prince of the same name, who obtains the bulk of his revenue from Monte Carlo. This is now the only public gambling done in the world. The building Itself Is very handsome, but gaudy, with a great deal of red marble and gold ornamentation about It. Each person on entering has to pre sent his or her card, and, if a man, bas to BW«ar to being tweuty-one. A ticket is tbeu handed them and they go in as we did. We first entered a square mar ble hall, with door entering out of it. We turned to the left, and. pausing through double doors, found ourseives In a soit of vestibule, wlilch led directly Into the large gaming hall beyond, which again led into smaller rooms with more tables. Around each table were seated about twenty people with their little piles of money, either gold or silver, In front of them, and their pencils and note-pads all ready to check down every play, whi'e their eyes were fixed with the intensest in terest on the roulette wheel In the cen ter of the table. No one »poke, and the click of the balls as they dropped into the holes and the rattle of the money as it was raked across the table with the lone sticks or cues of the attendants, or hauled In by some old habitue who might be winning a few hundred francs, wero the only sounds we heard. In the center of each table were seated six men, three on & side, two of whom were on high chairs a little way back of the others. They are the men who have charge of the game, who spin the wheel and pay the money, or, in other words, hold the bank, while at each end is a man who places the money ou the spot Indicated by the . better, and • the gambler is allowed to reach over the table for his money. No scenes or disturbances of any kind are allowed.

Perfect order prevails, and no talking is per mitted. The sin is elegantly polished till it shines for the eyes. Not so tho poor wretches who go there day after day to their sure destruction. In the rooms beyond the came was cards, rouge et DOlr, and for much high er stakes, nothing but gold and bank notes being on the table. An old woman and a young girl were seated at one of the tables. It was a sad sight to see them putting up their gold and then watch witn eager eyes and bated breath until they knew If they had lost or won. One man while we were standing there made a whole handful of bank notes, but he had the good senso to get up and go away before he lost them ail again. Senators Swearing Off. Washington Post. Senator Murphy, of New York, has sworn off smoking. He has been in the habit of ku*uiiu« a lighted cigar con* stantly in his mouth and. his daily con sumption has been from twenty to twenty-five lone and strong ones. Dur ing the stiver debate at the extra session of congress he smoked thirty-seven Keina Victorias In a single day. But his physician warned him that this ex cess was telling on liis nerves and his constitution, and advised that he smoke more moderately, but he decided to stop entirely, and since June 1 has not lighted a cigar, although as :t mat ter of habit and comfort hu carries an unlightcd one in his mouth. Several other senators are promising to follow his example. Mr. Vest stopDed smoking moi;e than a year ago, and says he has felt.jO per cent better, although he has grown stout. Senator Quay has also given up the habit entirely by the advice of his physician. Mr. Brice doesn't smoke any more, either, but only chews the end of a cigar. Juries in Germany, Washington Stnr.

Under our plan one ignorant or perverse man can nullify the efforts of eleven intel ligent and upright citizens if he wishes to do so. In Kins William's domain, however, such a thing is impossible. Take, for instance, a criminal case iv a German court. "If, after consultation, the jury stands six to six for and against the prisoner he is acquitted. If seven jurymen be lieve him guilty and live are equally sure of his innocence his fate is decided by the judge who has presided over tho case. If, however, eight of the jury decide that the accused Is guilty is amounts to a conviction. It is a simple and fair solution of the jury problem, and something of the same sort is badly needed iv the United Slates." The Burlington Route.
