DUDIE BSIRD'S STRfiNGE POSES, IBS "DUDIE" BAIRD, who has posed especially for Tho World In the ac -Ml- -companylng i.loturcs, Is the most perfectly formed model In this country. JL consensus of opinion furnished Tho World by leading American artists voucnes for this statement. Miss Balrd Is a breezy young woman who knows little and cares legs for con ventlonality. Her figure Is a succession of perfect curves.

Her height Is feet Inches, and she has not an ounce of overweight. She seldom wears a corset, and movements possess singular ease and grace. Her face Is strong rather than handsome, but the natural poso of the head Is exceptionally line. It Is thoroughly natural for Miss Balrd to strike a graceful posture, and as a lightning-change artist she has no equal. Angels, cherubs and vampires are turned out by this versatile young woman with the groateBt rapldltjr.

Tho profession of a model IB one of tho hardest on earth." Not only the sym metrical face and figure are required, but the model must have tho artistic tern perament. This Miss Balrd possesses to a high degree. A mere suggestion and he pliant body and limbs lend themselves to the picture. In tho pictures tor Tho World Miss Balrd Illustrates the most difficult poses tha she has ever taken. The first Is her pose for the Diana which stands poised 01 Madison Square Garden.

It was first necessary to make a plaster cast of th figure and the picture shows Just how Miss Balrd was braced while the workman plastered her over In sections. To be a human mould Is not a pleasant task, and doubly hard when It Is necessary to balance on ono foot. As studios arc not supplied with mechanical contrivances, a stop-ladder and box were called Into requisition to allow Diana to send her arrow flying Into space. The picture is a realistic story of the hardships Of studio lite. The Diana resting so airily on Madison Square Garden Is the enduring monument to Miss Bulrd's ability.

To pose for flying figures Is extremely hard. To accomplish this position chairs are used to prop the body, but every muscle of the model Is strained taut as In maglnatlon sho ascends heavenward. In tho pose for tho angel for the Tiffany window no mechanical aids were re- JOHNSTONE BENNETT ON TIES, For several years Miss Johnstons Bennett has been famed for hep correct masculine attire, her collars and ties being tho special envy of the sisterhood who aspire to things mannish.

A frown puckered MIHS Bennett's brow.

Speaking of tho trip, she said to a reporter: "You may seiy that I do not Intend to return with ess than $100,000 In gold.

Tho throe studies give a clearer Insight Into tho voryday life of a model than anything that has ever eon printed. It la Interesting to have Miss Balrd speak of her Ifo as a model. Sho says: "I havo not abandoned my profession of model, I am trying to be an actress to Insure something In the uture. As a model one has to settlo down Into losing for old women. I love to pose, and do not find tiresome, as I can rest every three minutes If I noire.

I never pose gave for tho beat who take their work seriously and who treat tho model with tho utmost courtesy, "I simply refuse to poso for women. They have no regard for a model's feelings.
