maiden. This is stll IA clay and so
llfeLks that II recalls Ihorwalcsen 5
saying clay is life. plaster - death,
marble IS resurrection. Only those
who have been much about sculptor's
workshop quite appreciate this dictum-

In reply 70 question she said that
she could not understand the life OF a
woman who had not some absorbing
object, some work 10 which all her en-
ergies were devoted For herself
there had never been any besita-
ton, any cropping in the dark 70 find
what she could do. AS child she
wished 70 be sculptor, and when she
opened her own studio in Rome she
had been studying fourteen years.
This is q different preparation from

The first thing Miss Lawson did in
Rome was 70 sign q petition circulated
By Story for the removal of the tariff
from the works Of foreign artists, and
she gives her influence TO the same
cause now that she IS at home. She be-
lieves in dress reform, and thinks that
the day of more convenient attire for
women is at hand. She believes in the
future OF women artists. and that the
woman's vivid imagination when aided
BY proper training viii carry her far.
She impresses one first and foremost as
a thoroughly happy woman to whom
the world through her devotion TO her
art has turned a sunshiny side.
