When you look at anything blue the
same thing happens, only the nerve

wire, for different colors tingle diff
ferent nerve wire lines, just like diff
ferent telephones signal central" over
different wires.
The red nerve lines pass through a
part of the brain that contains what
doctors call the cells Of hate!
The blue nerve lines go a certain
distance on the red party nerve line,
and then switch onto the sight cells
through a part of the brain that con.
tains the cells of love!
So with this in mind you can see
the point made by the French doctor
who says he can stop divorces, cure
family jars. and make happy homes
by changing red furniture and wall pa

For nearly so years the men of
science have known something about
the colors' effect on the brain of man.

the bump of Hate, which ought to be-

Prof. Frederick Starr, a present-dayI

POSED ASTHE QUEEN
Wisconsin Girl Original for Paint
ing of Alexandra.
Evelyn May ConVerss, Playing Model,
Met Artist, Who Kept Her A.
raysd In Royal Finery Until
Picture Was Finished.

New York.-When the loyal and hon
est Britishers pay homage Of heart to
the pictured Alexandra at the corona
tion-from the brush of Edwin R. Alb
bey, r. Ait is only to their queens
head and face. The rounded arms,
ths well poised neck, the stately, patri
clan carriage of the figure are anoth-
er's-the secret is out now. Miss
Evelyn Converse, an American girl
from Wisconsin at that, posed as
Queen Alexandra for Mr.. Abbey's
great painting, The Coronation Of
Edward VII"
Miss Converse hasn't sat on the
royal throne, but she has worn the
coronation robes. She has never
been presented at court, but she has
come and gone at Buckingham palace
as If born to the purple. She was
never proclaimed queen in Westmin-
ster, but there she is in the picture.
The king himself ordered the paint
ing to be hung on the walls Of Buck
ingham palace. He posed; the queen
posed; all the important personages
who were nearest to their majesties
on that august occasion faced Mr..
Abbey for their portions of the pic
ture. But for two years the great
work was held up because there was
no suitable model in England.
For two years I've waited for
you," said Mr.. Abbey when he
met Miss Converse. He knew he
had found the model he wanted-the
rest was only a matter Of course. Who
that could do it would refuse to pose
for her majesty, consort of Edward
VII, and wear her robes and jewels?
Strangely enough, Miss Converse
isn't a professional model at all. She
comes from Eau Claire, Wis, where
her father, Henry Edward Converse,

business man. He went there from New
York and took a hand in mining and
timber and made good. There is
sturdy New England stock in Miss
Converse, too-on her family tree is
the name Of Oliver Wendell Holmes.
It all happened just because Miss
Converse fell in love and played model
for her fiance, a painter prince-Efia.
COum Bey, son of a Russian nobleman
and a French countess, who adopted
Egypt as their country, where EfIa-
toum Pasha is one of its foremost
men.
When she was 16 Miss Converse left
Eau Claire and went abroad with
some cousins to study. She stayed IN
Paris several years, studying French
and music, and hoping that perhaps
some day she might go into grand
opera. Then she went to England,
and at Cambridge she met Efiatoum
Bey, who had been to the varsity
there and rowed in one of The crews.
He had taken up painting-and he feIl
In love with Miss Converse.
They became engaged And what
could be prettier on canvas than the
fiancee's shell pink skin and her dusky
black hair and her eyes that are some
times black and sometimes blue and
sometimes gray? And those arms. so
exquisitely modelled!
Well, George Story, the artist. saw
the throat and arms and shoulders at
a reception at the American en-
bassy.
Just one sitting" he begged Of the
beautiful American girl, and when she
told her fiance of this he said: It's a
very great honor from such a painter
by all means pose for him"
They got along famously, and one
day Mr.. Story Ventured to suggest
that Mr.. Abbey might want her for
some of his next pictures. Miss Con-
verse laughed merrily-the idea that
such an artist, one Of the two Ameri-
cans in the Royal Academy. shouId
want to paint her!
why, there are plenty of other
girls who viii do quite as weu," she
went On, protesting.
And now we get to the point where
the pretty American girl was asked to
wear Queen Alexandra's coronation
robes. Miss Converse called on Mr..
Abbey. As she tells 1t:
He smiled and just looked at me
hard, hard, for about a minute. Then
he asked me- il l would mind taking
of my glove, that he might see nv
hand. I said. Yes, III do it, and
then-why. he just said that If my
arms were Ike that he'd most Ger.
tainiy want me for a very important
picture he was painting.
And that very day 1 put OF Queen
Alexandra's robes and he began "a

Paris Medical Experts ClaI = 20 Have

suit OF Experiments with
Colors.

Paris. - Medical experts Of the
French capital have found the latest
cure for divorce. 1t is a result of ex-
periments in colors made by eminent
medical men, who declare that red
wall paper, red clothes and red glass
windows make persons angry. Blue,
on the other hand, is soothing TO the
nerves Of excited and "touchy' hus-
bands and wives
A Paris husband who had been hav-
ing trouble with his wife consulted
one OF these experts as a last chance
before seeing a lawyer The doctor
visited the mans Office and saw ? bril-
liant crimson carpet on the floor. A
large oil painting, the prevailing tone
OF which was red. hung on the wall.
At the home he found red wall pa
per. red. curtains and red furniture.
Red" said the doctor, "excites
your temper and your wife's too. Try
some other color. Put blue wall paper
in the house and throw away every
red piece of furniture you have"
The husband obeyed the Doctors
orders and since then there has beerI
no trouble in that family.
You remember the old crusade over
blue spectacles? Everybody wore
them once. They were thought to
hold wonderful power to ease pain,
toothache and other troubles.
