1967 Press Photo Patti Kalnit wears printed suit at the city's playground

City Park is Patti Kalnit's capering spot. She also models in clothing stores around the city. Paulette Michel is a tall, slim teen-ager with long hair and startling almond-shaped eyes. She's soft-spoken and creates an aura of femininity about her. Cathy Usdin is a petite brunette with an hourglass figure and a ruddy, full-of-life complexion. Her sparkling hazel eyes lend her a healthy, all-American air. Though they are almost exact opposites, both Cathy and Paulette have one thing in common: they are apprentices to the same profession, the art of being attractive. They are "young models." The hundreds of teen-age girls working as part-time models for department stores are, in a sense, among the essential pins holding together the entire structure of fashion. High fashion models in New York magazines are vague, faraway people.
