Evelyn Nesbit Becomes a Gibson Girl


It was when her mother, modest, yet proud of her wonderfully beautiful little daughter just budding into girlhood, took her to a photographer's that Evelyn Nesbit flashed into public view as a famous beauty. The pictures were so remarkable, so perfect in feature, so graceful in every outline that the artist exhibited them in his studio. Little wonder it was that every one who passed the show case stopped spell-bound by the youthful beauty of the subject; little wonder that Charles Dana Gibson, then in the zenith of his success with his studies of the American girl, looked upon Evelyn's photographs in rapture and wished immediately to meet the original and arrange to have her pose for him.
