TAe Marquis Dinelli, Who h the Most Popular Model in America, Explains Why No Husband Ought to Object to His Wife Being Sculptured, Painted and Photographed All Over the World. CDRBT MUNSON Is going to be married. She Is the girl who posed Cor Mm. Harry Payne Whitney's angels, and for Furlo PlcclrilU's Autumn and Winter, a&d 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-Paclflo 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, considerably in the back ground ana generally overlooked and ig nored, you can't have a wedding without one. He is in this case Ouiseppl Dinelli. The Marquis Gulseppl Dinelli, if you please. His father is a Chevalier. The family Is an old and noble one, of a name revered in Italy. But the Marquis Dlneill 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 J,- th Wood of the DlneUlB u 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 studio in New York. First for his own amusement, afterwards because those who admired the feathery touches of his fingers upon the piano and the human tones he drew from the violin asked him for lessons on those Instruments. Where did they meetT A vital part of every romance is 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. Wbat is romantic is of soul romantic, but it may possess a prosaic gemblence. The meeting of the Marquis Dinelli 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 ebow window in which reposed a hat butterfly like in Its lightness. Both looked at the Eauzy creation. Both admired the pose of the crisp blue ribbon bow on the crown of the hat. as though a bird had alighted upon a drift of snow. From the hat they glanced at each other. Fame brushes away etupld conven tions, especially if that fame has been won in upper Bohemia. The Marquis's hat came off la a sweeping bow. "Pardon The tone of polite Ital ian is like i caress. "You are Miss Au drey Munsoo, the famous model. I could but know you since your pictures are in all the papers. May I Introduce myself? I, 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? I am glad. But I care much more for art. Will you permit me to make some photographs of you??" Miss Audrey Munson, who is eighteen nee imp si. i V ii n "ii 1 mil .parent. Mrs. Munson promised to chaperon the picture making. Also the singing lessons which the master offered to give ber daughter. "For you are young and poor. I shall be glad to give you the lessons for nothing," said the Mar quis. When the Marquis Dinelli gave one of hie charming recitals, both artistic and smart, at Car negie Hall, the famous model and her mother oc cupied a box. it was the occasion for the announce ment of their engagement. Some of Dlnelll's pupils, girls iu the moBt exclusive society, pouted. But pique s soon melted away in curio sity about the Panama Paclflo Girl. Her childlike charm did the rest A few there were who predicted that this art- The made marriage would be brief and stormy. "But why?" asked the optimists,' look ing from the dark, distinguished looking man to the tall, statuesque girl beside Mm. "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 gaslng through his lorgnon at her classic lines. Won't he, like the heathen, rage? You bet he will. The prophet of evil lost his wager. At least for the present. He forgot this prophet of evil, that the Marquis Dinelli is himself an artist, believing in art for art's sake. Being a worshipper at the shrine of art he 1b convinced that love must not approach that shrine nor inter rupt the worship. Totally unlike, and thoroughly im patient with, Robert Brlggs is Audrey Munson's betrothed. Robert Brlggs be came so incensed at seeing a photograph of his wife as "Innocence" in an art dealer's window, that be brought a suit for separation from her.

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 tero weather of the Arctic and Antarctic, such a thing as "colds" were unknown. True enough, "colds" are due to bac teria, those tiny mlcroscoplo plants which grow and thrive like plants and moulds, upon living flesh and blood.

"He loved and married a model and yet could not forgive her for this picture of 'Innocence.' He permitted a mere art study to sit as a spectre at his wedding feast. The man is narrow. He is a Philistine. It is of the same material, what do you say, piece, as the opposition of a few ignorant persons to the exhibi tion of that beautiful study in nature and human nature, the 'September 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. I am proud of it. Nor do I protest against ber reproducing in plastic poses those statues on the roof of the New York Theatre. It is the mission of beauty to illuminate the ' , world. "Gone are those Puritans who thought It Immodest to disclose the exquisite lines of a woman's throat and shoulder. Evil criticism died, a noxious germ, In the sunlight of beauty. Occasionally there Is still a Puritan outburst against living pictures. But its voice is growing feebler. The feebleness is that of the dying. Once there was a storm of pro test that swept the Watte painting, 'Love lar to post, from person to person by con tact, through the moisture globules in the air, by way of the unseen spray of the saliva minutely atomized and expelled in conversation, in singing, in shouting, In whistling and most widely by bespat tering even distant persons by sneering and coughing. Handkerchiefs, napkins, car-steps, com mon restaurant utensils, laundries, the atre and moving picture crowds, dusty, dingy cburclies and all business and market places cause a few germs of "colds" to become a veritable Sahara of multiplying microbes. Just as your mouth and nose contain always the bacteria that cause pneumonia and blood poison ing, tonsillitis and bolls, so the germs tbst originate "colds" are always there. 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 . -4. v, '''Ate ,0 ' i. ., and Life,' out of the White House. But It was replaced. Hypocritical walls 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 fiancee 'do not be disturbed by this senseless clamor. I, who love you better than my life, am not.' "Life is ugly In spots. It presents sharp, uncompromising, revolting edgen. Woman's beauty softens those edges and veils 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 a butcher reproduced on a calendar the exquisite study of Evelyn Nesbtt reclin ing on a bear rug. It was a very beauti ful picture. Deauty Is its own excuse. "A bas phtUstlnlsm, evil minded ig norance; I bid you farewell." a 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 at the eyelids or the nose. It has never been known before that irritation of the eyelids causes "colds." Such, nevertheless seems to be the truth. Tbts 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 wito then placed upon a littlo platinum instrument aud scratched Into the eye membrane or the nose mem brane. Within a few minutes afterwards a sneeze appeared.

The Marquis Dinelli, Who Has Won the Heart of Mis 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 place in the autumn. Instead of those poses 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. III "" 7V 'Vm '&'.x:i 'ill scourge called 'colds Is inaugurated some instants before the sneezes or coughs begin. "Colds" are really a serlea of spots and colonies of germs, which spread, because of abnormal acidity of tissues, from the eyes and nose into the nostrils, throat, wind tubes and evea lungs. Curious to tell, however, "colds" are actually caused by cold or lowering of temperature. This is an absolute truth despite Peary, Stefenson and other Arctic explorers. The reason that "colds" are not contracted In below tero weather -has Just been experimentally found out It Is due to tbe fart that the acidity 03 both the tissues of the nose, eyes and throat, as well as the microbes them selves, are made neutral by cold. They simply cannot expand, grow or multiply. Yet "cold'' is necessary to "catch cold." This degree of "cold" necessary to start a "cold" differs at different tlmea. under different circumstances and for different people. Moreover, it is never a "drauah "
