MODELS AT THE ACADEMY Lenten Reflactions for the Followers of Dame Fashion. SACKCLOTH AND ASHES IN THE ASCENDANT Few ertainmonts Brighten a Very Dull Wook W World Whereabouts. I8 Dolng in the Smart Movements and Thoero is a good deal of inspiration about tho Lenten season, notwithstanding the pop- | the | wlar idea to the contrary. It inspires funny paragrapher on tho daily papers to sy bright things about its observauce by the young woman of fashion: its usefulness a8 a tonio for tired muscles. 1t affords tho cartoonist opportunity to annually draw pie tures for tho tailor-made girl asking tho dovil in a dress suit to step behind her for a fow days but not to go too far in the back ground, and it brings positive inspiration to tho overworked “humorist’ to take down from the shelves the musty joke about the man who couldn't get his umbrella becauso it's Lent. \Without these annual visits of friends we haye known m childhood, Lent would be tiresomely monotonous, but With them dropping in on us at the most un- expected moments makes life nearly worth Jiving during the “sackeloth nud ash’' period. But though only outwardly observed by tho followers of Dame Fashion, it sull has its uses and an ominent divine has sketched, for tho benefit of humanity, some of the good which may forcy itself upon so clety, oven against its will, through this ' perfunctory piety. Il a man has been eatiny hcavy dinners, public or private, overweighting his body, ving a wav tkat is not natural, that 1s not healthful, it may bo of decided benefit to stop even for forty days to give bis body an opportunity to right it- self, 80 that he may startafresh when Iaster Sunday joins the cons past Thon along with this over-eating, this too high living, there comes naturally'a drown- Aing of tho higher mental mamfestations, for 'a man cannot reach tho highest mental life when he |5 catering too lavishly to the body all the time. A man works best with his body well fed, but not over fed, so that it may be a mental benefit for a person who has not learned to live piainly at any other time of year to train himself to do so for at least forty days in Lent. Itis a charming sight to see the Omaha girl wonding her way to church, prayer;book in_hand, and clad in sackcloth ana ashes. What though the sackeloth be of irreproach- ablo fit and in the latest mode, and the ashes thoso of roses, the principle is the same, and the cost of that sackeloth is taken into con sideration only by those scoffers and jeerers who are irreverent enough to look behind the scenes to seo whether this suddenly acquire pioty is for any deepor reason than the fol- owing of Tashion’s dictates. From ¢ in the morning ull the light fades of an afternoon there are many inte resting things to be seon in _the Acedemy of Fine Arts, which is presided over by J. Laurio ‘Wallace, the art director and reacher The rooms are located in the top story of the Williams building, a big skylight making tho studious hight as day, and under this arrangement for light the artist pupils labor from early morn to dewy ove upon thu various branches of their art work. Easels to the right, easels to the left, in " 8tiff and unbending lines catch the eye of the visitor. Upon some are sketches in oil and wauter colors: on others there are drawings in black and white, copies of laster casts, horses in reyosc and in actic oads of old Greek gods und godesses, georr trical figurd ) plane and spLerical, giving the imy culptor’s more 'than painter’s studio and tho place of beginding for tho coming artists of the wes Notwithstanding thattwenty-five men and women are at work in the large contral room, there is littlo uoise, the artists in embryo content 1o let their brushes speak for thein Over there in tho right hand corner, di rectly underneath the wide skylight, a dozen men and women are sketching the head and shoulders of a right preuty young woman, who stands in the centor of the circle, watch- ing with considerable interest the progress of her picture under tho brush of one of Omaha's best voung painters. For forty minutes she has stood in the same attitude, without so much as moving a wuscle, and she has seen the outlines of her face and shoul- ders grow into an almost speaking likeness upon half a dozen canvases of us many work- ers in oil about her. Upou some of the other canvases she is ropresented as a most pro- nounced virago, ttern and relentle: ex pression, with o neck that would do eredit to John L.’s physique. But then the persons ho painted” this sketch are but beginners, and aro not 1o bo judged as those older artists who have been painting for Mr. Wallace, active and afert, bends over the work of the students, and, with a sugges- tion as to shading here, or the drawing of a line there, gives the students tho benetit of his years of hard work in a profession of which he is a most enthusiastic member. Not satisfied with his suggestions, ho takes a virgin canvas and with a fow bold hnes lays in the face of tho wodel for the benefit of the class. Ho works rapidly, his responding to the master's mind with oxcellont discrimination, ard by the timo this story of & morning's work is done, the director has completed a rough sketch, broad and vigorous m treatment, of the head and shoulders of the model, who with the last brush stroke is told that she may rest till the afternoon. Thoroughly business like, with little of the haio of romance about her,the young woman, ‘who bas veen posing for the life ciass for weeks, dons her strest wraps and quietly goes ont to mingle with the crowds on Doug- 1as streot at the noon hour. The artist’s model is the subject of & good many fairy tales that have not the slightost foundation 1 fact when they como to bo srun to earth.” Now and then a romantic story is told with the model as the heroine, flhich may have some semblauce of truth, i brush 1t ordinarily the artist’s model 1s a desory- young woman who finds posing as reput- abio & means of livelihood as any of the other callings open to women. Aod she goos about her work in as business-like manuer as typewriter going to her mach Sho doesu’t_ bolieve shois to have a nice easy time, with Falornian when sho gy tired, a satin covered couch to lie on when she is weary, and a coach and four to drive her to her home when her day’s work is over. She knows better, Any one who thinks it is -play to keep tho same position for thirty or forty minutes at streleh, without moving a muscle.need onl try it onceto be convinced that a model ife is not o bappy one,” to paraphrase the ino of # well kuown comic opera. Sometimoes imaginative young women,with just @ soupcon of Bohomiauism in their nature go into posing for ihe romance of the thing, but they soon find out that there is little romance in it and they drift back mto the chanuels from whence they came, Time was wher the model veiled her iden- tity under a *nom d'atalier’ or was simnly known by her fiest uawe, but in these purely commercial duys she has a market value and w; not hesitate to have it known who she 0d what her particutar ine of posiug is. There have beon several models bofore the hifo class of tho Academy of Fine Arts, but noue givon so general satisfuction as Miss Horteuse Crosby who is 50w posing for the benefit of the pupils. Sbo is & modest ana demure young woman and is treatod witn the greatest rospect by those who draw her faco aud form from day to day. Sho is par- ticularly resorved and comes and goes like any of the pupils now studying upder Mr. Wallace. She is rather” below the modium beight with lovely dark eyes, dark bair, softly carved cheek and chin, an animated expression aud a plump, pretty figure. She talks but little, and hor voice is just what one would expect from such o charming ensemble, An contrast 10 the modest, retiricg demean- or of Miss Crosby, was a former model at the academy, May Thompson, who, had sua been allowed to continue in that capacity, would bave entirely demoralized the class. Of a warm southern uature, she was nover %o bappy as whon posing for an Algerian, Turk, Greek or Audalusisu beauty. Augels wero her forte, *‘Her hair was like the ra- 's, her bonnie brow was brent." Of good gure, she sull showed traces of great beau- 1y, aithough iu bher face could Le seen & trace of African pareatage. But she was too much a coswopolite to please the director and bor place was taken by & iess oulspoken wodel. Sinoe the passing of Miss Thompson, who Qad posed 1or artists iu half a dosen oiuies, | ent ways. several wall known socioty girls have eiven | they both saw the light on that day. For a sittings to the ciass throuzh the entreaties of frionds One fair young woman, who created a sen sation {n sociaty & vear or more ago, Is sit ting for a picture of *‘Elaine,” aithough the artist finds considerable dificulty in catoh ing the expression of the sitter's face, for she is nervous and shows it in a_hundred differ Her face and figure aro poculiarly fined ethereal and as she poscs for nnyson's heroine, one cannot help but Lhink of nobler things et hair thit lays alonz her back 1s yellow, like ripe corn But the acadomy does not contine itself to 1nle models, several of the best pieces ned out by the pupils being heads of men who have posed for the class. Mr. Wallace has a particularly strong study of a nogro head which he made for tho class ashort timo ago, during the hours for the artists. 1t is full of light and lifo and fascinates by its fine flesh tones. st wook an Arabian woman, taken from the stroets, posed for the class and gave ex cellent satisfaction.

The first part, ““Stanley’s Recoption,'’ is a burletta written to make people laugh, and cortainly fulfils its mission; the ladies are young and pretty, appearing in gorgeous cos- tumes, and in the famous Amazoni are uneauailed. The burlesque, ' and His Nerbs is a facetious fernientation of frivolous fanciesand funny facts,interspersed with beautiful singing, comio sayings, funny situations. A grand olio of speciultics is also sprinkied throughout the burlesque, making the performance remarkably strong. Doubt lessly large audiences will greet the appear ancsof this most meritorious aggregation.

The Modjeska company is the samo that sho had with ber during her recopg bighly successtul eugageiments in Chicago pigd Now York. An attraction 10 bo sutBéksful must pleaso the people—not only thbdd who goto the thoater Lo laugh at anything and everything, but those who never laugli,'or at least who laugh “inwardly.” To tifs iatter class of theater goers, “Oh!
