THE PERFECT WOMAN

LONDON ARTIST’S SEARCH. Mr John Everard, the famous London society photographer, is searching London for a perfect photographic model. He has looked for months but is still unsatisfied. “I am convinced that somewhere there is at least one girl who could answer the description of what I class as a perfect model,” he told an interviewer. “The great difficulty is to find her. ‘‘She must have a beautiful face with regular features; a flawless complexion and naturally curly hair. "Her measurements should be: height sft. 6in.; bust, 341 in.; waist, 261 in.; hips 35 to 36in.; knee to heel, 13in.; calf, 13in.; ankle. Bin.; and the figure must be well-rounded. "I do not mind whether she is blonde or brunette but her hair must be naturally curly. The camera will reveal an artificial wave however beautifully It is done. The truth i that there are scores of girls who are perfect in what is classified as the modern type, the tube-like figure, but these models do not always produce the best results from a photographic standpoint. “It will be seen from the measurements I want a model who is far from the usual type. In comparison with the slim, svelte figure of the typical modern girl, it might appear that my ideal is too fully built in some parts, but I am dealing with photographic art and I find that the modern type, who looks so well when clothed in fashionable attire, does not show to advantage in the undraped figure. “I have seen literally hundreds of girls. I have found the perfect face and I have found the perfect figure but I have not yet succeeded in finding the perfect combination. It is a disappointing quest but I am certain that one day I shall be successful.”
