MODELLING MR. LLOYD GEORGE.
Mrs. Milward, xvlio has earned distinction for her sculpture, recently had Mr. Lloyd George sitting for her while she modelled him. She says he was a most interesting subject, and on one occasion after drawing her attention to his likeness to M. Briand, said that when he walked with the French Minister in their meetings during the war the backs of their heads were soon to be exactly alike. The reason, he thought, wns that M. Briand was a Breton and he a Gaul, and there is a great similarity between the two nations even to their language.
Mrs. Milward says she found great charm in Mr. Lloyd George’s face, though his hnir was always untidy. It was almost impossible for him to keep still, but that did not disturb her, she said, for she could turn her mode] about. She found it very easy to agree with him that lie could not pose for a photograph and that artists had a bad time with tih. At the end of each sitting he would say: “Can I go now?” or “Haven’t I been a good boy?”
