She is the girl who posed for Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney's angels, and for Furio Picefrilli's Autumn and Winter, and whose face appears above the Little Theatre and on the walls of the Astor Hotel in New York; whose head is seen on all the medals, and whose figure is reproduced in most of the statu- ary of the Panama-Pacific Exposition in all kinds of dress and undress. Yes, that's the girl. Of course everyone who has a scrap of sentiment left in her or him will want to know all about it. The bridegroom? Yes, he is more or less important. It has been noted that although kept comsiderably in the back- ground ana generally overlooked and ig- nored, you can't have a wedding without one. He is in this case Guiseppi Dinelli. The Marquis Guiseppi Dinelli, if you please. His father is a Chevalier. The family s an old and noble one, of a name revered in Italy. But the Marquis Dineill was not of the languid blood that would permit him to remain in Italy and on the old estates and beneath the blue skies and amid the blue lakes of his native country, dream- ing of the grea of his ancestors. No, the blood of the Dinellis is rather that of a Columbus than of one of the indolent Doges of Venice. He came to the country discovered by his country- man. Because he played so well the piano and the violoncello he opened a studlo in New York. First for his own amusement, afterwards because those who admired the feathery touches of his fingers upon the plano and the human tones he drew from the violin asked him for lessons on those instruments. Where did they meet? A vital part of every romance {s that meeting. Every one wants to know how and when Cupid manouvered the first glance of the eye and first throb of the heart that told them love had come. What is romantic is of soul romantic, but it may possess a prosaic gemblence. The meeting of the Marquis Dinellli and of Audrey Munson, the most reproduced girl in the world, oc- curred outside a millinery shop. Cupid had it that both were moved at the same instant to stop before a show window in which reposed a hat butterfly- like in its lightness. Both looked at the gauzy creation. Both admired the pose of the crisp blue ribbon bow on the erown of the hat, as though a bird had alighted upon & drift of snow. From the hat they glanced at each other. Fame brushes mway stupid conven- tions, especially if that fame has been won in upper Bohemia. The Marquis's hat came off i1 a sweeping bow. “Pardon wie” The tone of polite Ital- fan is like a caress. “You are Miss Au- drey Munson, the famous model. I could but know you since your pictures are in all the papers. May I introduce myself? 1, too, am a disciple of art.” The girl with the clear, childlike gray eyes, the innocent smile and the Madonna aspect, further emphasized by hair parted in the middle and waving smoothly away from her temples and covering her ears, read the card extended, looked up ingen- uously and exclaimed: “You are the first nobleman I ever saw. Is it not wonderful to have a title?™ “You think so? [ am glad. But I care much more for art. Will you permit me to make some photographs of you??" Miss Audrey Munson, who is elghteen and a mother's girl, took her Marquis straight home to the simple little flat at the corner of West End avenue and Sev- entleth street, and presented him to her a UDREY MUNSON is going to be parent. Mrs. Munson promised to chaperon the picture making. Also the singing lessons which the master offered to give her daughter. “For you are young and poor. 1 shall be glad to glve you the lessons for nothing,” sald the Mar quis. When the Marquis Dinelli gave one of his charming recitals, both artistic and smart, at Car- negle Hall, the famous model and her mother oc- cupled a box. It was the occasion for the announce- ment of their enzagement. Some of Dinelli’s pupils, girls in the most exclusive society, pouted. But pique soon melted away in curio- sity about the Panama- Pacific Girl. Her ohildlike charm did the rest. A few there were who predicted that this art- made marrfage would be brief and stormy. “But why?” asked the optimists, look- ing from the dark, distinguished looking mln to the tall, statuesque girl beside m, “Have you ever heard of jealousy?” Miss Munson’s art requires her to pose undraped. She will pose all summer on the New York roof in clothing so slight that she will be in no way inconvenienced by the heat. And the Marquis gazing tbhrough his lorgnon at her olassic lines. Won't he, like the heathen, rage? You bet he will, Fhe prophet of evil lost his wager. At least for the present. He forgot, this prophet of evll, that the Marquis Dinelll is himself an artist, belleving in art for art's sake. Being a worshipper at the shrine of art he is convinced”thu love must not approach that ghrine nor inter- rupt the worship. Totally unlike, and thoroughly im- patient with, Robert Briggs is Audrey Munson's betrothed. Robert Briggs be- came 8o fucensed at seeing a photograph of his wife as “Innocence” in an art dealer's window, that he brought a suit for separation from her. “Ridiculous men,” exclaimed the Mar- neTo @y F.C Going to Marry SENNETT The Beautiful Audrey Munson, S oon to be the Marquise Dinelli, in an Exquisite Grecian Pose. quis, “He loved and married a model and yet could not forgive her for this ploture of ‘Innocence.’ He permitted a mere art study to sit as a spectre at his wedding feast. The man is narrow. He is & Philistine. It is of the same material, what do you say, plece, as the opposition of a few ignorant persons to the exhibi- tion of that beautiful study in nature and human nature, the ‘S8eptember Morn.' “I haven't the slightest objection to the posing by my beloved for the noble statuary that beautifies the avenues of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. 1 am proud of it. Nor do I protest against her reproducing in plastic poses those statues on the reof of the New York Theatre. It is the mission of beauty to {lluminate the world. “Gone are those Puritans who thought it immodest to disclose the exquisite lines of a woman's throat and shoulder Evil criticism dled, a noxious germ, in the sunlight of beauty. Oocasionally there is still a Puritan outburst against Uving pictures. But its volce is growing feebler. The feebleness is that of the dying. Once there was a storm of pro- test that swept the Watts painting, ‘Love and Life, out of the White House. But it was replaced. Hypocritical wails ban- ished the beautiful Bacchante from Bos- ton. But she returned. While a few flat voices are still lifted against plastic poses the chorus is growing weaker. I say to my flancee ‘do not be disturbed by this senseless clamor. 1, who love you better than my lite, am not.’ “Life is ugly in spots. It presents sharp, uncompromising, revolting edges Woman's beauty softens those edges and vells that ugliness. There cannot be too much of it. It cannot, within the limits of aesthetic taste, be too candid. “From having seen Miss Munson as Winter, as Autumn, ag one of the angels of Mrs. Whitney's group, a man will go back Into the fray of life ennobled. His starving soul will have been fed by great beauty. It will have been as though the heavens had opened to him. “The Thaw family was angered when & butcher reproduced on a calendar the exquisite study of Evelyn Nesbit reclin- ing on a bear rug. It was a very beaut! ful pleture. Beauty is its own excuse. “A bas philistinism, evil minded {g- norance; I bid you farewell.” Pusre OBV | SHoLIn - MW The Marquis Dinelli, Who Has Won the Heart of Miss Munson. From which it appears that the Panama Pacific Girl will be able to pursue her posing uninterrupted by her wedding, which will probably take pl in the autumn. Instead of those es degrad- ing the title of the Marchioness of Dinelli, both she and the Marquis believe they will elevate it. All for art and art for all will be their motto. Why a Cold Comes Before a Sneeze— " by Dr. Horace Greely, of New York, and other Investigators, were announced, ingenious medical men with more unanimity than investigation, were in the habit of telling you that th greatest pecullarity about “coids” was that they have nothing whatsoever to do with cold itself. The unity with which the sheep-like medicos held to this fallacy was always supported by the reports of Stefenson, Peary and other Arctic explorers, who make much of their physicians’ observations, to wit, that, while they and their men were in the below zero weather of the Arctic and Antarctie, such @ thing as “colds” were unknown, Trfue enough, “colds” are due to bac- teria, those tiny microscoplc plants which grow and thrive like plants and mouids, upon living flesh and blood It is also true to say that “colds” are infectious end contaglous.

Just as your mouth and nose contain always the bacteria that cause pneumonia and blood polson- Ing, tonsillitis and bolls, so the germs that originate “colds” are alwi here. When you emit a sneeze, what has hap- pened? Commonly a “cold” is ushered in with a sneeze. Is the sneeze ante- cedent to the “cold,” simultaneous with it, or subsequent to it? The discovery has just been made for the first time that Great Britain Rights Reserved. & sneeze is a secret flash of freemasonry to all the other lodge members of your anatomy that one lone bacterial invader has succeeded in getting a foothold into the depths of the lining membranes either ut the eyellds or the nose. It has never been known before that irritation of the eyelids causes “colds.” Such, nevertheless seems to be the truth. This is how the whole matter was tested. Germs that were normal inhabi- tants of the human eye and nose were grown upon tubes of sterilized gelatin and blood. They were then placed upon & tittle platinum instrument and scratched into the eye membrane or the nose mem- brane. Within a few minutes afterwards & sneeze appeared.
