The couple are often seen In Bou-

the lineaments Of the central figure
one notes a curious resemblance. A
glance at Earle az he is today does not
assist the memory, but the recollection
OF him az he was before the barber
smoothed his face flashes across the
mental vision and the connection Is
complete. Earle himself Is the model
for the Christ he has depicted.
Talks Of His Love Affairs.
Then he talked a little of his love
affairs, bemoaning that The press and
public will not take his view of the
matter, but must stick to the old con-
ventional ideas.
