She’s the fa.siiion ni.xlel whose picltire.s you see in top niaga/.iues and newspapers. Is her job enviable? Or does the working side of the glamorous coin make it of dubious value? The women who pose for the photographs have mixed opinions. Some say it's a breeze. Others insist it’s St t enuous and taxing. But almost all of them wouldn’t trade their jobs for love or money. “For love, or money?’’ mused Bernice Campbell, a top New York model on 'ocatlon in Newport Beach, Calif. It was mid-winter. Since early morning she had been posing amiably, changing from .shorts to swimsuit, to sun dress while the temperature went from comfortable to cold. “I’m making a quite substantial salary now, much more than I’d get for an of fice job. As for trading it for love—.’’ “Men seem to be attracted to models. It isn’t just our 'Meet and Eat' at DIXON'S SODA SHOP and LUNCHEONETTE Elks Temple Corner W. C.

She was to be plioto- graphed only from above the ankles--and comfort, behind the scenes, is Important when you are on your feet all day. Bernice added, “But Hove my work.’’ With Bernice was fashion photographer Dan Wynne of New York, assigned to photograph designs by sportswear houses. On location, too, were the male model and the two “model” children who make up the fashion family. All had flown in from New York. For the three days they were on loca tion there was no time for re laxation. Every bit of December sunshine had to be used to the fullest. At 9:15 a. m. the tall blonde had been standing on a sand dune for the better part of an hour, an aluminum reflector bouncing the bright sun Into her face while Dan Wynne shot pic tures of her Rosecrest chamois color culotte and print pull over. When Dan Wynne at last was satisfied that he had committed the costume to posterity, he could relax. Not the model. She ducked behind a sheet held by two assistant photographers, and changed Into a pair of shorts and a polished cotton top. The outfit was cool, all right, but getting its comfort message across on this breezy day was not an easy job. An assistant dropped a blanket over Bernice’s shoulders, and she shivered down inside It grate fully. The camera began to click. The photographer burned up four rolls of film before he was satisfied. Through! the shooting Bernice somehow avoided goose pimples and kept her smile bright. Finally, someone called, “It’s two o’clock. When’s lunch?” Someone sent for sandwiches while Bernice went back to her makeshift tent and changed into a daisy yellow beach outfit and posed for a new series of shots by the water’s edge. The wind died, and briefly It was hot. Bernice glanced at the ocean longingly, then turned her pro file to the sun. For the child model, posing was just as demanding. The blue denim chambray jumper with its red and white striped knit shirt was enough to enchant any little girl. But the hours of muscle cramping postures might have caused a less pro fessional three-year-old to long for the kind of rugged games the denim outfit was designed to take, “And none of this is the hardest part," Bernice said at the end of the day, “For me, it’s staying away from those great big dinners. I have to remind myself that a few extra pounds look like tons to a camera lens.’’ “But you still wouldn’t trade it for love or money?’’ VITA-VAR PAINTS I >an packcil sliiiol in wniihl la> New Yori, r n'W--wit li anotlicr pri'lly a.n lleiiiicc, .stoically (Iniiic. .snow suits in llicwiulnr chill of I Cnl ral I’ai k.
