happens that more urgent calls of family support
and aid require immediate attention. The
members, being all engaged on actual works in
progress in Philadelphia and surrounding districts,
find that what they do at the Club is of decided
benefit to them. This applies especially to the
architectural sculptors and wood carvers. The
designers, engravers, and modellers of metal
work also have found themselves inspired to
higher efforts in the direction of artistic work
than those demanded by their employers.
The expenses of conducting the club are not
heavy, and are met by fixed weekly dues. These
are just sufficient to pay bills for rent, fuel and
light. The models are paid by the members indi-
vidually in rotation.
In the autumn of 1898 the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, through the Managing
Director, Mr. Harrison S. Morris, invited the club
to make use of the Life Modelling Room of their
building free of expense. The offer was accepted
and the classes were continued there for two years.
Subsequently it was thought more convenient to
renew the studies at their own rooms. The pre-
sent commodious quarters were then engaged, and
are found in every way suitable.
198
The club counts among its members three archi-
tectural sculptors, two wood carvers, two designers
of metal work, two engravers of plate, one fresco
painter, one water-colour painter, and two illustrators
on the daily papers. For these last men and
others whom they bring in there is a costume class
on Sunday afternoons during the winter season.
The objects of the organisation are somewhat
similar to those of the " Art Worker's Guild"
formed by'Mr. H. Bloomfield Bare at Philadelphia
in 1891, but it existed previous to that date and
has in its membership some of the same men, and
is intended more for actual handicraftsmen.
