THE NAKED TRUTH

In the Latin Quarter OF Paris lives
Loletse. who is known throughout the
artists colony as the handsomest sirl
In Paris. In spite OF the fact that her
services as a model are sought after
by the leading painters and sculptors
OF the city. she poses only for Armand
Bouchard. a mediocre painter who
befriended her when she was left a
penniless orphan several years before.
Under Bouchard's humble roof she
lives the life OF the Partisan studio
dweller. happy and content. the idol
Of her benefactor.
Pierre Bernier. close friend Of
houcahrd's and an artist OF unusual
promise. has seen a number OF his
best ideas fail In practice because Of
his lack OF a model in whose makeup
both beauty and intelligence were
combined In goodly measure. and
finally he succeeds In persuading Bou-
chard to consent to his employing Lo-
lette. And during the days when his
masterpiece Is In the making pas.

him and his pretty model. Then
marriage quickly follows. When his
picture wins the grand prize at the
Salon and Is sold to a conncisseur
for fancy price. the two establish
themselves In fine house In fash.
ionable part OF the city. Poor Bou-
chard Is soon forgotten.
As his prosperity increases, Pierre
becomes more and more ashamed OF
his wife's humble origin and less aud
less enthralled by her charms. Later
he becomes entangled In love affair
with the Princess Dupont. dilettante

finally she surprises the pair alone

she is certain that she has lost her
husbands love.
In desperation she goes 10 the aged
prince. her rivals husband. and begs
him TO interfere. He refuses. telling
the girl that arrangements for sep
aration between him and his wife are
already under way and that he has
no further interest In what she does.
She then decides to appea. directly
to the woman herself. For moment
the princess worldly heart is touched
and she promises to break with
Pierre. Her good resolution. however.
Is short lived. and II is not long be-
fore Lolette's husband Is again en-
meshed In the tangled skeins OF In
fatuation and intrigue. Lolette again
appeals to the better nature OF her
rival. this time without the slightest
success. Announcing her intention OF
securing a divorce. she hurries home.
and that evening Pierre finds her ly.

hand.
Brought to their senses by Lolette's
attempt upon her own life. both Pierre
and the princess resolve to end their
liaison. and at the bedside OF the
wounded woman both promise her to
make amends. The woman keeps her
word. but the husband. although max
ing an effort to appear once more
devoted to his wife. soon betrays his
innate unworthiness. Heartbroken.
Lolette sends him away. and when
she has sufficiently recovered from
her wound TO leave her bed. we find
her slowly making her way back to
the old studio In the Latin Quarter.
