 Farragut Square and many other ex. amples of sculpture in public places in Washington are the work of Mrs. Vim nie Ream Hoxie. The talented little woman was guest the other afternoon at tea at Belcourt Seminary, and for the diversion of the company 1t pleased her to se' into a big blue working apron and give an object lesson in modelling n likeness. She selected as subject Senator Robert L. Taiyor of Tennessee, who with his attractive young wife was guest of honor of the function. The little artist deftly man ipulated the clay until a perfect por- trait bust of the weil-known states man was effected. The completed work or art is to be preserved as a souvenir of the seminary. Mrs. Hoxie often re- ceives friends while she is at work in her own studio at her home in K street.
