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??"

promised to chaperon the

singing lessons which the
master offered to give ber

"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

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.

were announced, ingenious medical men

were in the habit of telling you that the
greatest peculiarity about "co'ids" was
that they have nothing whatsoever to
do with cold hself. 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

grow and thrive like plants and moulds,
upon living flesh and blood. It Is also

qi'ls. "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

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

It was replaced. Hypocritical walls ban

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.

It has never been known before that

Such, nevertheless seems to be the truth.

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
