MUNSON, of Waterbury. THE ST. JOHN FOOLISHNESS. It has always been astonishing to see the prohibitionists maneuver. They have per sistently fought against the only party that has. ever shown any disposition to help them and they are still at it. At a meeting of ministers at Chicago this- week President Magoun of Iowa college, one of the most ac tive and influential of the Iowa prohibition ists, denounced the St. John movement as it deserves to be denounced. He said that Iowa, where prohibition is triumphant, takes no stock in that movement. In Kansas, the prohibitionists have already had enough and too much of St. John, who, as a Kansas pas. tor said', had,by his egotism and willfulness in thrusting himself on the prohibitory party as candidate for governor for the third term, lost the State to4 the cause of prohibition. The proclamation issued" by John B. Finch, appointing October 29 as a day of fasting and humiliation for the benefit of the St. John ticket, is a specimen of cant that has seldom been outdone. "All Christian be lievers are called upon to unite in prayer to Almighty God that his aid may be given to measures which will result in the speedy sup pression of the Kquor traffic." These "meas ures" are the efforts of the St. John party to draw away enough Republicans from their party allegiance to secure the return of ihe Democratic party to power in the Union and the different States, and places the restric tion of the liquor traffic beyond the limits of possibility. Bev. Dr. George H. Gould, formerly pas tor of the Center church in Hartford, and well known in this State, is another prohibi tionist who sees the situation and gives good counsel to temperance men. In a letter to a friend in Hartford he says that he is a pro hibitionist and a thorough-going one, and that he has a great respect for Mr. St. John. But he tries to put his common sense into his politics, and he recognizes the fact that Mr. St. John cannot be elected President. Either the Republican or the Democratic party will have control of the government for the next four years. Shut up to this choice, the doctor unhesitatingly chooses the Republican party. It is - to-day, he says, "the purest and grandest political organiza tion on the face of the earth." This he be lieves "fully and profoundly." On the other hand he sees in the Democracy a party that for more than a generation has "steadily and stolidly blocked the pathway of all national progress." This is the plain, impressive truth. The pro hibitionists who vote for St. John this year will be voting against the real interests of the cause they have so much at heart. EDITORIAL NOTES. Congressman Leopold Morse, of the First Massachusetts district, is one of the very few men who really do not want an office. He absolutely declines to accept a renomination. It is reported from Paris that experiments made in the hospitals show that sulphide of carbon is the best agent to restore the nor mal action of the bowels in cases of cholera. It has restored to consciousness in thirty seconds hysterical patients who, previous to its administration, were insensible to even the pricking of needles. Governor Jarvis told the North Carolini ans in a srieech the other day that they had enjoyed something this year never before seen since the Declaration of Independence "the State government run for one whole year without drawing one dollar from the pockets of the people." This was accomplished by the sale of some unproductive public prop erty. ' One of the happiest hits of the season was made by a lady at Waverly the other day. Governor Bate and Judge Reid spoke there. The judge became very nervous at the crying of a baby, and asked if it could not be made to stop crying. Its another pacified the child and it was still v a while, but it" began crying again 'and the judge said: "Let that child be taken out; it has no business art a public meeting." The mother promptly said: "Sir, my child is crying to hear Gov ernor Bate speak." Ever since the St. Gothard line uniting Germany and Italy was finished there have been schemes in the air for drawing back the traffic through France. The distance from. Antwerp to Milan via the St. Gothard is less by HQ miles than that between Calais and Milan via Mont Cenis, and the advan tage can only be brought back to the side of France by piercing the Alps half way between the two existing tunnels. The project of a Great St. Bernard line is there fore beginning to assume definite shape; and inasmuch as' the strata to be pierced are comparatively soft, it would not be nearly so big an undertaking as the St. Gothard. In deed, the French engineers believe that the whole line could be made in four years, (the St. Gothard took ten,)' and that the cost would not exceed $17,500,000, about half what the St. Gothard cost. Mr. Copeland, of Brockton, Massachusetts, has nearly completed the machinery which is being placed under the Union Fish com pany's wharf at Pro vinceto wn , Massachu setts, by which tht rise and fall of the tide is to be the motive power. The work is only experimental, but everything is successful thus far. The apparatus consists of a float gliding up and down on studding, which turns a wheel, making four revolutions a tide. This wheel is connected by means of shafts and belts to a series of other wheels, and in such a way that the terminal wheel makes .240 revolutions per minute. Some valuable experiments have been made as to the comparative value of good hay .for stock. As the result, it is estimated that 100 pounds of hay are equal to 275 pounds of green Indian corn, 400 pounds of green clover, 442 pounds of rye straw, 360 pounds of wheat straw, 164 pounds of oat straw, 180 pounds of barley straw, 153 pounds of pea straw, 200 pounds of buck wheat straw, 400 pounds of dried corn stalks, 175)Ounds of raw potatoes, 504 pounds of turnips, 300 pounds of carrots, 54 pounds of rye, 40 pounds of wheat, 59 poundsof ' bats, 45 pounds of mixed peas and beans, 64 pounds of buckwheat, 57 pounds of Indian corn, 68 pounds of acorns, 105 pounds of wheat bran, 167 pounds of wheat, pea and oat chaff, 179 pounds of mixed rye and bar ley, 59 pounds of linseed, or 339 pounds of mangel wurzel. Tawhiao, king of the Maories, on leaving England addressed a letter of farewell "to all the gentry and their ladies" who had enter tained him. "I have now made up my mind," he wrote, "to return to my country and race, and therefore I write a few words of f urewell and thanksgiving to you all. Abide here in your own land. I will never forget your love to me and my friends, and we will henceforth tell of your honora ble kindness to our race. Although the gov ernment were not disposed to allow us to see the queen and to thoroughly investigate the affairs of our race, nevertheless we have been greatly loved. We have come here from a far distant land, and have reached England, and have seen its people, its nobles, its habi tations, and your honorable kindness to us. In conclusion, my dear friends, I have seen and experienced the reality of things done to wards us as we sat in the presence of great people. Dwell here! Farewell!" Colonel William M. Grosvenor in his speech in Philadelphia made five statements which are worth the attention of all voters: First The average wages of labor are 60 per cent, higher here than in Great Britain. Second The same quantities of food which this country consumes, costing in New York ?50 for each person, will cost in Lon don over $55. , Third The British taxes on liquors and tobacco make the cost of the quantity which our people consume greater in England than the cost "here by about $8 for each person. Great Britain takes care to put taxes where her own people will have to pay the whole of them, so as not to lose customers. That is British free trade. We are glad to put taxes where British manufacturers . shall pay as much of them as possible. Fourth The cost of all other articles en tering into consumption here of clothing, metals, coal oil, lumber, glass, other house building articles, paper, soap, drugs and chemicals is not more than 12 greater for each person here than in England; so that, Fifth The entire cost of living, if the same articles and quantities are bought m England that are consumed here, is less in this country than in England, while wages are 60 per cent, greater. IN FAVOR. "Garters with bells in them are much in favor in St. Louis," says a fashion report. Was there ever a place where garters with belles in them were out of favor? Boston Transcript. A fashion exchange says that short dresses are almost universal. We fail to see how that can be so. We should judge that the shorter the dress the less universal it would be. But perhaps we err. Texas Sif tings. It is said that there is not a single lawyer among tne thousand convicts in tne Ver mont penitentiary. Where else will you find one thousand people who are peaceable enough to get along without a lawyer? State prison convicts are evidently not so bad as they have been represented. Boston Tran script. "Not that way," whispered a burglar to his accomplice, after they had broken into a summer resort hotel, "the proprietor's room is down this hall." "Wot's the matter with you?" growled back the more expert cracks man, "I know my business. We want to get at the room of tne head waiter." JNew York Mail. Mr. Clapney, the humorist, goes to a min strel show, and with indignation hears the brilliant end man "getting off" his own jokes. He is not inconsolable, and has just decided that the minstrel has paid him a compliment, when he hears a lady whisper: "There sits tnat stupicrteliow, Ulapnev. xle s straining his ears to steal that end man's jokes. That's the way such fellows fill up their papers." Arkansaw Traveler. A peculiar race. "Did yon - read what Stanley says abont the negro women in Af rica?" asked Gus De Smith' of Gilhooly. "No." "They must have very peculiar shapes. He says in one part of his lecture that they are very careful about their children, and never take their eyes off them, and after ward he says they always carry their chil dren on their backs. They must be shaped different from the darkies we see here in Austin." Texas Siitings. "How do you like my jersey?" said Mrs. Blim to her husband. "It is quite nice, dear, but when a woman has a head as red as yours. " "'Taint red, you mean thing; it's auburn," interrupted Mrs. B. savagely. "well, sweet, when a woman has a head as auburn as yours she shouldn't get a jersey of the same color, for if she went out on the root to hang out clothes the neighbor might see her and turn in an alarm of fire, and " Mr. B. had occasion just at that time to go into another room.

In M milch Art At tne Wallialla Restmnrant Some American Artlsta Interesting Talk with One of Them The New Academy BsUding The Morality of Female models In a Stnalo. Munich Sept. 10. To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: ; "But if you want to meet some of the American art students, go down to the Wal halla restaurant about . seven o'clock this evening. It's a modest place, but yon know we students can't always afford to put onthe top shelf." The speaker was a young man who had left America ten years before in or der to learn to paint in Europe, and who now Btood, pallet and brush in hand, before a painting which he was copying in the New Pinakothek, a "Seni before the cerpse of Wallenstein." I had heard him address a word or two of English to a passer-by, and with the audacity characteristic of the Amer ican abroad had ventured to introduce my. self on the strength of this fact, and to inquire about our art students in this the leading art center of the German Empire. The copy of the death of Wellenstein was destined for Cornell university, hehad told me, and had added: "You know we have to do copying as accessory to original work. This is the way we earn funds with which to prosecute original painting." Thanking my infonnaat-foF- thia pointer, I withdrew; and. that evening after the appointed hour found myself on the doorsteps of the Walhalla. As I closed the door behind me and stood for a moment removing my dripping rubber coat, I took a rapid survey of the room and its oc cupants. My keen eye lighted upon two young men seated at a table by themselves in a remote corner of the large room, alternate ly sipping the national beverage beer, and chatting after the animated American fash ion. Here were my victims, I calmly said to myself ; and then I set capturing them in much the same way as the entomologist is wont to capture his insects. Drifting across the room in a languid, nonchalant manner, I dropped down in one of the chairs at the same table, apparently oblivious of the pres ence of anybody else in the vicinity. Then I picked up the bill of fare and ran my eye critically down its pages. Now I have learned from a long and multifarious experience that the way to a man's heart is through his stom ach. If there is anything I do know, and know real hard, it is this. So I resolved up on a stratagem which I was sure would make the enemy capitulate. "Bring me," I said in a clear ringing voice, "a good large piece of pumpkin pie!" The effect was electrical. Beth heads dropped to the level of the table instantly and a melancholy groan went up which touched me to the heart's core. "Gentlemen," I said, "it was not my purpose to cast such a gloom over this meetinjr." Then I paused for a moment, to allow this intensity of their emotion to subside, while I filled out an orthodox order for such things as are really to be had in Munich. After a time one of the twain slowly lifted his head, and murmured in a mournful retrospective voice: "Pumpkin pie! Then it really- does exist still. Tell mo, tell me, is it not all a hol low dream of the pastf he beseeched hoarse ly. His grief was to pathetic to be trifled with, and so I said, "Yes, pumpkin pie is still a tangible reality across the raging duck pond." "Pray pardon these tears," he said, wiping his inflamed optics on the window curtains, "but you might just as well have said boned turkey and cranberry sauce. It brought such a tide of memories trooping up before us, memories of the faded and gone." From the bottom of my heart I pitied him; but he brightened up presently and said: tint we didn t have turkey on Thanksgiv ing. Only it was goose. But we labelled it turkey." ''Sirs," I said, "I begin to per ceive that you are American artists." "Even so" was the pensive chorus. "Perhaps yen can shed some light then on a question over which I have been pondering for a long time. Do yon incline to the view that an artist ever thinks?" A moment of delibera tion followed, when the older and wiser of the two renlied: "T shonld indeed hesitate f to go on record as entertaining such a rash belief. Sometimes an artist stumbles against an idea that looms up before him like a dead wall, or tn9 broadside or a barn. Then he sometimes absorbs the general outline of it, just as nourishment is sometimes absorbed by being placed in contact with the body of a man who has lost the use of his regular di gestive apparatus. otui, mere is grave doubt even on this point. It is at least cer tain teat ueuDens was saoiy astray when in answer to the question 'Don't you sometimes amuse yourselt by painting ! he made sar castic reply, 'No, I usually amuse myself by thinking over affairs of state. ' I suppose the masterpiece of all these famed artists kind of 'growed'.like 'Topsy.'" Very likely. But tell me something about artist life. How many meals do you eat day?" "Two usually. We get up at eleven o'clock so that we don't have to have any breakfast." . "Is it true that your chief diet is liver?' "Liver and calf 's head. Sometimes we have bread and usually a glass of beer. But we find that regular meals promote obesity, and interfere with ntness tor work. Liiver is cheap, and there is no danger of its stimula ting the torpid brain." "But don't you tire of it after awhile?" "Yes, but we will not yield to any such weakness. They always serve a good deal of it, and if our stomachs spleen against it after a few mouthfuls, we just wrap up what is left in a piece of paper and stick it into our pocket. This is an especially satisfactory practice, . because we can afterwards chew the paper, and extract some nutrition from it." "Where do you room?" "In private houses, for the most part. Then there is the hospital here which is open to students at only three marks per year; and when a man gets really hard up, he can succumb to some slight indisposition and put up there. It is a serious fact that some students find their way out of a financial difficulty in this man ner." "Some more serious fact, please." "Well, badinage aside, there is not so much poverty as the world is apt to suppose among our number. The total membership of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts is a little over 500 students at present. Of course the Germans are in the ascendancy from a numerical point of view. Every nationality in Europe is represented, I snppose. We hare a Jap, one or two Roumanians and Bulgarians, not a few Poles and Swedes, a liberal con stituency from Italy and Franco, a very, few English, and usually forty or fifty Americans. It is simple statement of fact,' I think, when I say that the Americans stand very high in point of talent and faithful labor. At the last exhibition there were thirty ' Americans with work entered, and twenty-two of these succeeded in carrying off honors. The .work of. two of this number was purchased by the academy, a rare honor. One of these men has but one arm his left to paint with. Last year at a certain time five prizes were awarded, and the small band of Americans secured three of them. The standard of admission is being elevated every year, so that it requires a good deal of skill in. order to secure an entree." . 'Don't a good many students come here to fail of admission, and go away disappointed?" Yes indeed. There is one quite pathetic case here now. A man came here from New Jersey, "with work which he thought to show to the faculty, and at once gain admission. But he was of course compelled to perform new work under the supervision of the pro fessors, and failed to meet the requirements. He then engaged a private teacher, and worked diligently for many months, when he appealed for admission again, but again failed to pass the examination. He is now without money, casting about him for some thing to do, and not Knowing wnither to 8: . ' . "JBut tnere is not mucn actual poverty or the pinching, grinding sort?" "No, I should say not. We are most of us frugal, but we do not lack for the comforts of life. The ex. penses are not so high as you would imagine. Many a student gets through on $250 a year. The present cost of tuition is about $11 a year in American money, though there is a strong probability that this sum will be raised to $15 in another year. Our supplies cost us little or nothing. Rooms are very cheap, and we do not have to resort to the proverbial attic. A real good room may be obtained for ten marks ($2.50) per month. We are accustomed to board at the' restau rants, which are extraordinarily cheap. We Americans patronize this Walhalla, because it is in the same block with our Artist club rooms. We all become easy converts to the beer-drinking habit as you see, and are soon able to drink gallons with im punity. As for regular meals, my supper to-night foots up 45 pfennig ex clusive of beer, (about eleven American cents). And what have I had? A large bowl of soup, bread, roast veal, potatoes and one or two side-dishes. I have not denied myself any necessary, I had a good, substantial, satisfying supper. I add three pfennig to the bill for the benefit of the waitress, three-quarters of a cent." It hardly needs to be explained that the German money system is based upon a deci mal standard abont one-half that of Austria, just as that of Austria is based on a standard abont one-half that of the United States. Thus the mark is approximately equivalent to our "quarter," and the pfennig, which is coined, is one-fourth as valuable as our cent. "For an instance of the occasional tribula tions of artist life," continued the speaker, "you may take the case of the young man whom you met up at the New Pinakothek this afternoon. He is a very good copyist. One day last year a Chicago lady was passing through the gal lery in company with friends. He heard the party complimenting his work, saying that it was as good as the original, etc., and finally he took occasion to let them know that he was American and understood all their flat tering remarks. The Chicago lady became interested, and. negotiated with him for a painting in the general style of one which she brought him a few days la ter the portrait of a young woman. The artist undertook the work at great pains, and finally sent it on. to the lady. The latter kept it a number of months and finally re turned it to the author at his expense, with a contemptible note saying that the original design had not been adhered to strictly. She pretended that she had wanted an exact copy of the painting submitted as a guide! The truth was that she had thought to be able to treble her money on the painting in Chicago, and when she found that there was little market there for the productions of an raknowm- artist, however meritorious, she pretended that the painter had not done what she desired of him. It would have been a violation of the law for the artist to have copied exactly. Little, I suppose, the lady knows or cares how her treacherous course frustrates the plans and embarrasses the study of the humble student way over here, who has had the result of months of arduous skilled labor thus tossed back at him." "Are there not exceptions made in favor of art students in a good many respects so that you may enjoy special favors?" "'Ves, indeed, every institution here recognizes us in a liberal way. We have reduced fares on the railway, cheaper tickets at the theatres, and immunity from many penalties to which other people are liable. We cannot be ar rested for any except the grossest crimes. Each student has a certificate to the effect that he attends the academy, and the moment the por.ceman sees that, ne becomes as polite and suave as you please, merely requesting us to 'call at the station' at 6uch a time on the following day. Here is my certificate. I always carry it with me," (with a twinkle of his liquid brown eyes.) I found that I had fallen not only among artists, but also among cultured, intelligent young men congenial companions. Pres ently I observed interrogatively, "You spoke of an American artist clubf "Yes, sir. We have had a club for over fire years. The present enrolled membership includes 650 persons. There are among this number quite a tew members of only naturalized citizen ship, who speak English but tolerably. It is vacation at present and most of the boys are off sketching. Schleissheim, a place about eight miles distant, is a great resort for the artists, and I suppose there are a dozen of our boys over there sketching now. When we are all here we have lively times you may imagine, and the club rooms are well patron ized. Would you like to look inside of them? They are very modest, indeed." Of course I was delighted at the chance to inspect the room and promptly availed my self of it. There were but three small apart ments, one nsed as a reading-room, and the other two supplied with stoves, chairs, tables and half a dozen paintings by the best known members of the club. There were two tall panel paintings representing New York in i i io and 187b respectively. The tormer con sisted mainly of trees and stumps; the latter showed the good old flag floating over Broad way. "For these rooms, gas and fires when ever needed, we pay but ten marks a month! That is a good sample of Munich prices. Of course the patronage which our location here secures to the restaurant is something of a consideration. We do have most jolly times here when we all get together, and the sur face cf this clean white table is then fairly black with caricatures.". In the reading room I found the daily Graphic and daily New York Sun on file, Scribner's, most of the Harper's periodicals, Puck and the lead ing art journals, besides several German dai ly newspapers. The students all have to learn German incidentally in their work. These newspapers are kindly donated by the various publishers, so that the Art club, with all its privileges, costs its members almost nothing per head! On the following morning one of these same easily-won friends escorted me about a little, thus giving me a chance to see more of student life. Passing along in the rear of an immense block of studios, with enormous windows for receiving the light, we came to the costly new Academy building, construct ed out of French indemnity money. This proved to be a colossal structure in the Ital ian renaissance style, solid, massive, but most elaborately ornamented. It is the intention to move, into this new building on or before the first of November, when the next term begins. But I doubt if this will be possible, as things are done so slowly in Europe, and there is a great deal of plastering and finish ing yet to be done. We passed through the vast building, examining room after room. At the further end we found half a dozen girls standing around as if waiting for some thing to happen. "They are models," said my companion sententiously. "Munich must be a sort of Paradiee for models." "It is, indeed. There are many hundreds of .them, I suppose. Every day there ore not less than half a dozen come around to my studio and knock to offer their services. There are young boys and girls, men and women of all stages in life, and grey-headed old patriarchs who pose for a living. They have discovered that they have physical advantages, and they have become professional models. They hang around the art rooms and' studios jast as professional jurymen do around the justice courts in America. Posing is really a business. . w e can tell as soon as we get hold of an 'experi mentalist, and often have great difficulty in teaching the model to stand, sit, gesture or lie prostrate in what wo consider a graceful-, natural attitude." "How about the wages paid?" "The Acad emy pays forty pfennig an hour. Many mod els expect sixty for private posings for stu dents, while there are others so anxious to earn money that they will pose for almost nothing. Of course there are models for the variousrace types. You ought to bo here in term time and see the professionals swarm about the academy. It is one of the sights of Munich. Last year an' American negro drifted into the city,. ' He was pounced Upon at once by the students, and suddenly found himself the most popular man in town, al though he had come here in great doubt as to how to gain a livelihood. He posed for a good many months and became quite -an adept at the art; but nnaiiy ne slid out or town as quietly as he had . entered, much to Our common sorrow. 'Don't you often see people passing by whom von long to paint, but who would not pose under any circumstances?" "Yes, .that is our -sad lot very often. Sometimes a reg ular Venus will go by, and we will rush to the window in perfect agony because she is not and would not be a model. Perhaps her form is just what we have been sighing- for and searching after for weary months- To at least see the ideal going by, and to know that she is absolutely in accessible, is indeed heart-breaking. You know we artists look at people and things through such different glasses from those which the rest of mankind employ." "Isn't this model business a source of mischief?"- "I shonld not be honest unless" I answered that it is. The consequences are most lamentable, infinitely worse than those of theatrical life, which so many peo ple Condemn the while they rave over art. These hundreds of Munich girls begin as head models in the majority of cases, and they are simply gaining a livelihood then, just as the American girl does by measuring tape over a counter. They are persuaded, in the interest of art, to sit as quarter nudes, and become hardened to the exposure. Then they consent to be 'halves,' and finally "to be full 'adits' as the Germans Bay. Then their doom is sealed and they shrink at nothing. The girl models are almost without exoeption disreputable creatures. Most of them are brazen-faced in ihe extreme, while those who do blush and whimper are usually the woist of the lot. As a class the students are also very loose in their conduct, especially the German-speaking students. Little imagines the bulk of tourist enthusiasts over art at what a cost of womanhood those monuments are purchased over which they gush so gush fully. I wonder that ministers do not preach against the demoralizing influences of art. I suppose it is Decanee arc i "What is the average studio like?" "It is o ,nriositv shop. " Stuffed birds, birds' nests, old cracked vases, broken chairs, antiques, and a thousand and one objects that yon would hurl out of the window, hang on the walls and stutter up the mantelpieces. We are after that which is old and imperfect ly picturesque, you know. Twice every year there is what is called a 'dult' in Munich. People from the country bring in everything of whieh you can conceive for sale at a grand fair in a common mart where shanties are erected for that purpose. The things on sale are very cheap odd gloves, old shoes, bones, skillets; in fact everything from a coffin to a wooden leg. We students revel in these dults. We go there and buy the most anom alous things for almost nothing. We will see an old, torn cloth, pick it up with the remark, 'By Jove, that's magnificent,' and then purchase it for one-tenth of its marked price; These dults are indeed a great bonan- ' za to us students. But wouldn't you like to look into a sample studio?" Of course I would, and bo I was conducted to one near by, that of an American who has a reputa tion for doing good work. As had been pre dicted I found the room a very museum of picturesque odds and ends. The artist, Mr. K , was hard at work on the representa tion of "A Strike in Pittsburg." Ho ex plained his methods somewhat as follows: "When we begin to originate it is natural for ns to reach out after novel subjects. I con clude to illustrate one of the famous strikes in the Smoky City. I imagine the tall stacks and chimneys of the city for a background, pouring forth their clouds of Bmoke and soot. To the right I decide to have the mills which my strikers have just aban doned. In the f oreground to the left is the office of the proprietor, who is on the porch listening to the speaker who has been select ed by the men to submit their grievances. The ground intervening between the factory and the office is filled with strikers on their way to the scene of debate. All the princi pal figures are sketched from models on small canvasses, and then transferred to the main painting, which, being six feet by nine, is rather too large to convey to the open air where my models pose. The costumes I pur chased at factories when I was in London. I select my models from the crowd of candi dates, then proceed to rig them up according ' to my notions and define the attitude which I prefer. All the foremost figures and groups are thus painted the smith who stands there with his bare arms defiantly akimbo, the man who is stooping for a stone as a bluff argu ment, the wifo who is running up with her little child and babe in arms, the other wife who is trying to moderate her excited lord, the gesticulating speaker, and all the various other actors in the scene," "Don't your models sometimes desert you at a critical time?" "Very rarely. Now here is a touching instance in point" (bring- l ing forward an unfinished painting of a sweet little girl or perhaps thirteen sumners.)" ' I have searched the streets many a day in the hope of finding the original of this picture. Alas. I know not what has become of her, nnd I ainjiot at all competent to finish the sketch from memory or from my own imagi nation. She was a rare model and I deplore her disappearance keenly." Thanking both my eicerones for the glimpse into artist life in Munich which they had afforded me, I withdrew, convinced- that artists do sometimes think a little, and that there are some thoroughly interesting, genial people in the ranks.
