pleasantest part of our journey, and 1
think I may say the same of all our
party. We came in reenlar tipsy hash
i n, taking a couple of week. to get over
tl.e nearly 11:0 miles ..f mountains. We
made a march of from ten to fifteen
miles daily, pitching our tents or else
staying over night in the travellers' bun -
The whole way, with the eseeptien of
the tint forty miles, is a narrow moun-
tain path. over which no one eould ven-
ture to take a vehicle of any sort.

sixty mile,. Mr Wilecn grew ito strove
over it that he walked that last march of
smitten mile, without being in the least
fatigued. I waked it too, but must
own that it was almost too much for me.
What magaiheent views we got. Great
towering snow capped mountains above
us. with streams tumbling down their
sales, and below us the roaring Jhelum.
The road f.•llows the course of the river
all the way and are often a thousand
feet above it. It seemed like hanging in
mid air.
Of course the road was dangerous.
Donkeys carrying loads often tall over
precipices into the river he'ow, cwt hon-
dreds of people travel over it every sum-

should we he afraid.

Srinagar,- the capital -.f Kashmir, is a
city of about 125.000 inhabitants and is
an alwominab'yadirty place.
The pert reserved for English resi-
dents is away beyond the retire city,
and would be all the better were it a
few miles farther away from (.rind
gar odours.
Th. ricer Jhelum forms the main
street of the city.
There is no such thing as a wheeled
sehicle in all Kashmir. People go to
the bazar in boats.
We tented for the first three week, in
the part "f the city reserved tee English

When finding a lovely spot on the side
of a lake- -tbe lake celebrated In Moore's

AN ARTIST AND HIS MODEL,
A Perlrwlt roister Valls to Lave wItb ■s.

It is not quite a year sarics the well
ea own artist William M. Chase, Baton
ished his friends by announcing his mar
riage with Masa Gertson, who for sons
time previous had 1csed as hie model
And now one of the foremost portrai
and figure painters in New York has de
e

deed to follow his example. 1Caytt
Easton is to many Mies Collins, • model
who has for Tears posed for the Art Stu-
dentsLeague, and also for many of the
figure painters in this city. The wed-
ding will take place during the present
mouth. He is about forty years old,
hu been a widower for eighteen months
and u highly e.tee ned by his friend&
He was the first secretary of the Society
of American Artists. The ptiospective
bride is • little over twenty years of age
and is of English parentage. She has a
p!eauog face, a somewhat robust figure
and is considered an excellent model.
TO It welts. O`( .'OLDLY.
The intended marriage has occasion
ed a good deal of comment io many quer
tern and • wide difference of opinion
exists as tc the advisability of an art
marrying his model. It was M. de I
Itedollaere who gave the youngsters
bit of advice on this subject- "Oh
young artist," he said, "do not look ups
these persons from any other than • prc
teseional standpoint ; regard them cold
1y : see in your model only a gracious
stelae an.' do not attempt to become the
Pygmalion of the lovely Galatea before
ycu "
But professional models sometimes
possess qualities that are highly attrac-
tive. A good model should have eenti•
ment as well as intelligence. She should
Rq comprehend the iotentiockof the
Irti.t as to make of herself actor in the
little drama which he depicts upon the
.anvas, and by hue sympathy with his
work she can contribute materially to
the successful accomplishment of it. (.•n-
f..rtunately, however, most models are
unequal h. this effort They are content
with lending the figure only and dispense
with the rest- Yet society has its 'tre-
nding, and probably moat parents whose
• .ns have entered the rapidly growing
profession of artists would prefer to have
these limit their attentions to the
aide's employed to the professional re-
quirements of the ease.
