GIRL DESIGNS THE MONUMENT Fame of The South's
 Women. MISS KINNEY, THE ARTIST Figure Accepted by Several of The
 States. Nashville Is the Home or Young wo- man Who Conceived the Idea
 For statue To Be Erected.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 15.--Befttfng in nobility of conception and beauty of execution the subject 1t Is to com- memorate. the design for the monu- ment to the women of the Lost Cause" has been completed.
 It is the work of @ Dixie girl. Miss Belle Kinney. of Nashville. Tenn. and has been accepted by several States. It is probable that all the States which left the Union in the civil war will adopt the design and that replicas of the monument will be placed in the capitois of each.s
 The design for the proposed monu- ment is very beautiful and elevating. The central figure, of heroic size. is the Goddess of Fame. At her right the reclining figure. delicateiy fea- tured. beautiful but with an expression of fexquisfte sadness. represents the self-sacrihcing Southern woman of the war time. Fame is represented as placing O wreath upon ths Southern woman's head. while she supports. at her left. a dying and emscintsd Con- woman Is extending even in the death. 4
 The design is such that it readily leads Itself to reproduction either in marble or bronze.
 A year or more ago. the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Sons of Confederate Veterans decided upon the erection of these monuments m every State capitol in Dixie. The work was to 1ave been done by an Italian scuip- tori When his design was submit ted at the late Confederate reunion in Memphis. 1t raised a storm of protest. The artist had pictured the Southern woman as militant and Aniasonian figure, carrying in one hand a sword and in the other the banner of the Lost Cause. This conception was 50 foreign to the gentle. suffering and patient woman Of the Southland as those who ioved her had known her. that the design was rejected by au overwhelming vets.
 The angera9 artist declined to sub init anofher and Miss Kinney was Ap- pealed to.
 Tennessee has sppfopriatsd sa.sou through the Daughters and Sons of Confectionery fot a bronze cast Of the design. Other states are raising funds for the purpose and 1t is believed that by Sali each of the fornien Confederate States will have followed suit.
 Miss Kinney. the artist, Is but 22 years of age and Is already a sculptor of more than national fame. She was recently awarded the contract for a heroic statue o fthe late Senator Ed ward Ward Carmack. of Tennessee, killed by the coopers.
 When but a child. she received a prize at the centennial in Nashville for q bust of her father. She receiy- ed her education in art at the art insti- tute at Chicago and later studied abroad. She was awarded the contract for twenty Igorrote figures at the Field Museum and has attracted q great deal of attention in art circles throughout the world.
