By ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R)' Thous
ands of , girls each year hear
someone say, "you're pretty
enough to be a model," and
dream of the fame and five-
figure income of a top model
like Jean Patchett.
But the average onlooker has
little idea of wSat it takes to
climb to a $50-an-hour fee, as'
Miss Patchett and a handful of
other models have done. v '
"Being pretty has almost noth
ing to do with it," one top fash
ion photographer said.
"Come along with me for a
day," Miss Patchett suggested.
"Then you can see for yourself
what we do."
She is a tall, willowy blonde
who stands five feet nine inch
es in her stocking feet, weighs
117 pounds and had had no mod
eling experience when she ar
rived here from . Preston, Md.,
seven years ago at the age of
21. She married a young bank
er, Louis Auer, four years ago.
Day Starts
At 10 a.m. Jean, accompan
ied by this reporter, arrived for
her first appointment, which
was to be a two-hour photo
graphy session for a fashion
magazine. She had no idea what
she'd be wearing. .
For the first hour she knelt
on a white leather bench in a
bathing suit. She changed ex
pressions often, shitted her po
sition occasionally, and never
was caught unawares when the
camera clicked, although,., the
photographer snapped pictures
rapidly with a small camera.
"It may look instinctive, but
I learned it by hard work," she
said later, changing into a white
sharkskin dress.
"The .first three months after
I came here I didn't work at
all. Then I signed with Eileen
Ford's agency. She told me to
lose weight and one of her other
models taught me to put on my
eyes. From then on I worked all
the time."
By "putting on her eyes," she
meant expertly outlining the up
turned slant at the corners and
using just the right amount of
eye shadow. Now she also dark
ens a natural mole on the corn
er of her right eye. ,
"She has a sense of fashion,"
the photographer said. "S h e
makes a plain white dress look
elegant. On another pretty' girl
it could look like nothing."
"I imagine different ' situa
tions," Jean explained later.
"For that dress I imagined I was
walking into a room filled with
people, and I was "the most ele
gant woman in the room."
. After a calorie-conscious lunch
of ground beef, Jean began her
afternoon schedule at a second
studio. - v -
, "For this picture you are to
wrap yourself In a towel and
hold the cologne bottle," -the
photographer said. Jean frown
ed. She and other top models
shun lingerie poses and anything
else"Hhey think undignified.
"The towel can be up to your
shoulders,", he added hastily.
So she spent the next hour
perched uncomfortably on a;
battered green wooden bench,
clutching a giant-sized bathtow
el around her with one hand and
holding a plastic bottle gently
next to her cheek. "A top model
like Jean has the ability to make
any given idiotic pose come to
life and look natural,'' tne
photographer said.
From there she took a cab
she spends $30 a week on taxi
fares to another studio to pose
in a demure organdy dress for
a pattern catalogue and finally
to a fourth studio to be photo
graphed in spring hats.
Then she went home to their
one-bedroom apartment and
started dinner just like a. few
million other working wives.
