Her < were blue—violet blue—and her dark | shair, short, of course, waved back | from a broad, white forehead. She | had the kind of beauty that artists| went mad over, so that she seldom | had any trouble getting work. She posed for magazine covers, il- lustrations of different kinds, com- mercial art and anything she could | get. It wasn’t easy work, be meant holding a_pose that w: very difficult. Sometimes the would forget, too. Absorbed work, he would neglect to say: “Don’'t you want to rest, Miss Hart- in hi Would vou mind taking off vour hat, vour head?" Nan was beautiful with a hat, but without one, and her broad farehead, with it’s widow’s peak showing, she | was breath-taking. ‘sually the artist would simply stare at her loveline Then he would invariably say )t course, 1 can use you,” and he would whip out a little black note- book and take here telephone number. Nan lived in a cheap little apart- ment on the outskirts of Greenwich Villagze. She cooked her breakfasts and most of her dinners on a two- burner gas stove. What pleasure she had came from outside, through peo- ple who were kind to her; and there were quite a few of, these. One afternoon, when she had been | posing for Duncan Malcolm, a very charming Awoman had dropped in. She, too, exclaimed at Nan's ectraor- dinavy beauty, and she sat -and watched the giru pose, while she moked cigarette after cigarette. an finished, she sugfigested r home in a taxi. When taking h ley “You look tired.” an could never bear to interrupt | Nan accepted gratefully, and a an artist, so she would grit her teetn | friendship developed between herself and hold on for dear life. Sometime when she at last relaxed, her torture muscles would ache like a toothache. Once when she had been crouching on the floor in an unnatural pose she had | toppled over, and the sudden, sharp | agony of relaxation had made her burst into hysterical tears. A long list of artists had her name and address, and would call her on the telephone when they needed her type. She averaged about $40 a week, a though there were weeks when she made more. Nan had gone into the work of pos- ing with some dread. She had read magazine stories about the things that went on In artists’ studios, and had formed her ideas accordingly. She had visions of tiger-skin rugs hanging from balconies and of the artists themselves working in velvet dressing gowns and trying to make love to her. She had started out in fear and trembling, going from studio to studio: but, for the most part, she had found her fears groundless. Of course, she had had one or two unpleasant experi- ances, but she might have had those in any business office. In almost every case the artist, usu- ally in a smock or a worn-out dress- ing gown, worked in a big, bare studio. Canvasses litiered the walls. They were piled everywhere. The | harsh, searching light from a huge | north skylight filled the room. | The same formula was repeated | again and again. Nan would say, shyly: “I am look- ing for work.” And the artist, usuaily in the midst ot some creative work, and, for that reason, busy and distracted, would stop because of her amazing beauty. At first she was embarrassed at the way they stared at her; but later she realized that there was nothing per- sonal about it. They stared at her critically be- cause her features were so flawless, Already they were fitting her into some possible creation. They all said the same thing, too: HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN.

She couldn’t afford to spend much on clothes; but somehow it tter, and it was at Helen Sheridan Nan wasn't stupid; she wasn't the beautiful and dumb type at all. She could talk intelligently on most subjects, but Martin Lee didn't care whether she talked or not, He didn’t see her until they were afl seated at the table, and then he opened his mouth and quickly closed it again. Across the table he saw the most incredibly beautiful girl he had ever beheld in his life. She looked like a Madonna. So few women could wear their hair like that; it required a flawless profile. Utterly obliv the woman who was his dinner part- ner, he stared at Nan across a Tiffany bowl filled with vellow tea roses until his eyes drew her and she looked at him, only to flush scarlet and turn away. After dinner he was presented to her, and they sat and talked for a time. She liked him at once. He was bout 46, with hair that was aiready graving at the temples, His were very deeply set under he brows. He looked clev Later Helen told Nan that he was one of the biggest corporation lawyers in the country, She looked at Nan closely as she vouchsafed this information; but, al- though the girl seemed interested, she wasn't unduly impressed. Helen and Nan had often talked about such things as love and ro- mance and marriage, and Helen knew Nan's ideas in a general way. She believed absolutely in love, She could no more bring herself to like a man because he had money than she could throw herself into the river. But Helen couldn’t help thinking, as she talked to Nan, that it would be a marvelous thing if the girl could fall in love with Martin Lee. He was rich, good-looking and he had power. He was a director in one of the big- gest railroads in the country. Nan had swept him off his feet, too. But beyond a certain point Helen did not dare to go with Nan. The girl had reticences. When she felt that she was being pumped for information of any kind she would shut up like a little clam. That enchanting face of hers would assume an almost haughty ook. Yes, Nan liked Martin Tee; but she knew at once, as most girls do, that she could never love him. And when she discovered, as she did almost at once, that he was in love with her, she was disturbed by i (Copvright. 19 1'in tomorrow's Star.) (Continu i Gooseberry Tarts.

The habit of graceful movement thus formed Wil reinforce one’'s mental poise to & re. markable degree, Anotker point that is often over looked when a girl is trying to trans. form awkwardness into grace, is her clothes. Footwear that is too tight, too short or too large for the feet make graceful locomotion very dif flcult. Tight bands around the walst or bust cramp the muscles and give the figure an ungainly swing. The lines of a frock or hat may also con tribiite to the effect of awkwardness or grace. about the size of her hands and feet or the shape of her features or her figure. She imagines that every one notices or comments upon her faults. The first step that she must take in gaining poise is to change her point of view, he must tell herself over and over in that other people do not spend their time watching her, nd even if they did, she would not e a rap because she was too busy ttending to her own affair A very great aid in acquiring poise is to practice balancing exercises and dancing steps for at least 15 minutes a day, or until one's mind has caught the rhythm of these graceful motions. Very easy movements may be used to begin with, but later more complicated co-ordinations should be attempted. For example, the following exercises may be used the first week: 1.
