Chicago.-Miss Franc Kingsnorth,
an artists model, was led bindfolded
into a room filled with cadavers the
other day and was photographed for
picture to be entitled Asleep with the
Dead" She tainted when the bandage
was removed and her eyes opened on
the grewsome, grinning bodies that
surrounded her. Her collapse was fol
lowed by Mysteries in which she
screamed and struggled to free herself
from what seemed to her living
tomb, until she fell into an unconscious
heap on the floor of the anatomical
laboratory.
For hours after her experience she
was in precarious condition at the
home of a physician, whittier she was
removed following the scene created
as the result of an effort to obtain a
photograph that would eclipse all the
imaginative horrors conceived by
art.
Miss Kingsnorth previously had
nerved herself to waltz with an artic-
ulated skeleton, and to pose with the
same DOney REMNANT Oh u departed

lures were taken, but when asked to
enter the anatomical room for another
picture she demurred. When told she
was to be bindfolded and not to open
her eyes when the bandage was re-
moved, she agreed without further ex-
PLANTATION. A handkerchief was fas-
tened over her eyes. A white gown
was draped around her. She was then
led into a room occupied until then
only by the embalmed bodies of the
dead. Dead men leaned against the
walls around the room. The heads of
human beings were perched on shelves
here and there. 1t was a room full of
cadavers. In the center was a couch.
