She became a popular attraction on stage at the age of 12 in a skipping rope dance routine at London's Gaiety Theatre, where she was then engaged in Victorian burlesque and vaudeville throughout her formative years. Gilchrist, who became known as the "original Gaiety Girl",〔Lady Orkney, Once a Stage Actress. ''The New York Times,'' 10 May 1946, p. 19〕 had abandoned the stage by the time of her marriage in 1892 to Edmond Walter FitzMaurice, 7th Earl of Orkney. ==Early life== Constance MacDonald Gilchrist (more commonly known as Connie Gilchrist) was born in Agar Town, London, the daughter of David and Matilda Maria (née Potter) Gilchrist. Her father worked as an engineer and either her mother or, more likely, her elder sister Matilda Elizabeth was probably the model who posed for Whistler's etching, ''Tillie: A Model''.〔(University of Glasgow, Whistler Etchings ) Retrieved 13 July 2013〕〔(Jiminez, Jill Berk & Banham, Joanna – ''Dictionary of Artists' Models'' – p. 221-224 ) Retrieved 13 July 2013〕 As an artist's model Gilchrist first sat for Frederic Leighton at about age six. She was the Arab girl in his painting ''Little Fatima'', all five little girls in ''Daphnephoria'', the child in ''Study: At a Reading Desk'' and the student in ''The Music Lesson.''. She posed for a series of works that Frank Holl based on W. S. Gilbert's ''Little Mim'', and was the child depicted in his painting ''The Deserter''. Whistler captured Gilchrist's jumping rope routine in his etching, ''Harmony in Yellow and Gold: The Gold Girl'', and posed her for ''The Blue Girl'', while other members of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, such as William Powell Frith, often placed her in their works.〔〔(Reynolds, A.

(''American Paintings: A Catalogue of the Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art )'' (New York, N.Y.), 1985, p. 373. Retrieved 14 July 2013〕 Lewis Carroll photographed her at age twelve and a year later wrote in his diary: ''she is losing her beauty and can’t act – but she did the old skipping-rope dance superbly.''〔(''Daresbury Chronicle'', Vol 6, ''Lewis Carroll Society Journal'', October 2010.
