The money an artist’s model can earn
ranges all the way from $10-to $30 ,a
week, according, to circumstances.- The
work is not. easy, not at n|t.* Where a
woman poses .for a painter or sciilptor
she sometimes faints after sitting or
standing in one posture .for half or
three-quarters of an hour,. but neither
she nor the artist appears to-mind that
much. A dash of cold "wafer over her
face and hands, a'rest of ten or fifteen
minutes and on the work-goes again.
It is usual for l—ill model and artist
to take, a short rest after."each half
hour’s work. One young model in Bos
ton — Rurd ella Patterson — performed
the fnarvelous feat of posing for seven
hours scaled up in a plaster cast. She
was posing for a statue of Diana.

a fourth a beautiful foot, while the fifth

SAID OF WOMEN.
Professor Chamberlain of Clarke
university has promulgated the fol
lowing findings concerning woman as
compared with man:
As an actor she has greater ability
and more frequently shows it.
She is noticeably belter in adapta
bility.
She is much more charitable—in
money matters.
Under reasonable opportunities she
is more gifted at diplomacy. \
She has greater genius in politics.
She more commonly has executive
ability.
Her imagination is greater.
Her intuitions are greater.
Her memory is better.
Her patience is greater.
Her perceptions are more rapid.
She has greater religious devotion.
Her instinct for sacrifice is greater.
Site bears pain' more heroically.
Her sympathy is greater.
She has greater tact,
She has greater vitality.
She has more fluency In the lower

RECENT PICTURE OF ELLEN TERRY.
Americans are glad again to welcome Ellen Terry, the inimitable delineator
of Shakespearean heroines of the bright and gentle type. Her daughter, Edith
Craig, is her stage manager during the actress’ present American tour. Though
Ellen Terry celebrated the fiftieth jubilee of her stage life last year, she is
yet in her fifties, having begun her professional career when she was a small
child. Off the stage this charming woman’s name is Mrs. E. A. Warden.

1 When the books of Ernest Thompson Seton first appeared they were a
novelty in the way of decoration and illustration and were pronounced ex-

tho whole scheme of these illustrations had been devised by the naturalist’s
wife, Mrs. Grace Gallatin Thompson Seton, who herself made the decorative
drawings. Mrs. Seton always lays out the mechanical and decorative part of , made artistically and in modest pat

Omens are buttoned down the bark.
At the opera and theater you would

turned loose until you look closer.
Really we are rivaling the English,
and every one knows that London sup

than any other large city in the world.
I don’t understand it. If people can’t
afford diamonds, rubies and emeralds
there are surely some less expensive
stones that are equally pretty. Take
pink coral, for instance, or turquoise or
jade. Beautiful pendants can be made
from any of these, and set in solid gold

THE MAGNETIC WOMAN.
Have you ever met a magnetic wo
man? Scattered about in the world
there are a few women of this sort
with whom it is a positive pleasure to
come in contact. The magnetic woman
is. enthusiastic, and her enthusiasm is
infectious. If you meet her on a wet
day you soon find yourself wondering
why other people say wet weather is
so dispiriting.
Light hearted she always is, with a
voice that thrills one, and always good
company. A day in her company is in
vigorating, and when you part you
wish she had been a sister or a relative
that you could keep her with you al
ways. She is as popular with the men
as with the women, can crack a joke
with all, untiring, ceaselessly energetici
witty, refined and resourceful. She is
a born lady, and nobody grudges her
one whit of her social success.
It may be inbred, but as often as not
it is a matter of cultivation and re- T
straint. We are all magnetic in a de
gree. Some are attracted by a woman's
ways, others are repelled, but it is very
largely the question of “knowing how"-
whereon depends the position which a
woman holds in her circle of friends
and acquaintances.
DON’T BE JEALOUS.
Jealousy is such a mean, small pas- -
sion. Yet It seems that by far the
larger number of humanity arc beset j
by it.
It has a hideous power to blind the,
eyes to all that is bright and beautiful,
In life. Under its baleful influence-
everything is distorted.
Jealousy is a recognition of the sqpe- 1
riority of some one else over ourselves..
Perhaps that is why it hurts so. '
It is not pleasant to feel that another
has more charm, more power to attract.
But if "this is so, perhaps some
lies itt us. Are we as charming, as
