CHRISTY, wife of the artist who
created the famous Christy girl, is
the original Christy girl. She has
been the model for all her hus-

Mrs. Christy, who was Miss Mae
belle Thompson of New York be-
fore her marriage, is an undeniable
beauty. She accompanies her hus-
band wherever he goes on sketch
ing trips. Their summers the
Christys spend on the old Christy
farm near GAINESVILLE, o., where the
artist spent his boyhood days
There he has built him a studio
400 feet above the Muskingum riv-
er in which there was a romantic
beginning of the love story of the
Christys quite BETTING the wooing
of Rough Rider artist and the
"prettiest girl in New York"
He first saw her in a restaurant
with her mother. Both women were
in mourning. The artist in him
took fire at the girls beauty, and
after trying vainly to find some
one to introduce him he boldly
went to her home and introduced
himself.

Signor Comelli, rated to be the
