Munich Students

sit for a long time, and he
stopped and inquired how
things were going. Then
he cut short the tale of woe
by putting his hand into
his pocket and hauling out
a palmful of silver, which
he gave her, with the
hope that she would have
better luck in the future.

The Munich art student,
apart from his own atelier,
knows scarce anything that
goes on in the whole of
the Academy. He never

have sat in the famous ateliers of
Munich for three-quarters of a
century, mothers with babies in
their arms and small toddlers
clutching at their skirts, splen-
didly-built young fellows and
pretty girls whose stock-in-trade
all lies in their fine figures and
attractive heads. A motley crew

standing out in picturesque dis-

their own and their listeners'
amusement. Lenbach was very
popular among the models, as he
always paid them special rates
for sitting, often giving ten marks
for an afternoon's pose, while the
regulation fee is sixty pfennigs an
hour. One old woman at the
Academy relates how she once
met Lenbach in the street after
she had been ill and unable to

study
