Inside the studio the atmosphere of
work dominates. Casts of all sizes and
descriptions abound; the big stands
which hold work in process of model
ing seem to be everywhere, and Miss
Manor herself in her long apron. de-
signed TO shield her from showers Of
plaster dust when she works energet-
ically, is a faithful exponent Of the
truth that nothing is ever accomplished
without hard work. On the manteI-
piece stands charming reproduction
of the hand and arm of the little
daughter of Piazzoni. the painter, now
just 1 year old. The cast was made
from the baby's hand while she lay
asleep, and the fascination OF the
rounded. chubby arm with a single
dimple nesting in the soft hollow of
the curving elbow. the relaxation of the
slender. helpless fingers. with each tiny
knuckie a dimple, and the soft shadows
and delicious curves which the cast has
brought out to perfection are irresist-
ible- This is an enchanting experiment
and one amply justified by the result
Miss Manor has many larger pieces
on which she is engaged. Like many
sculptors she designs memorial urns.
arches and panels, some OF which are
effective; but her delight is in the work
with children. A quaint fancy. de-
signed for use over fireplace. is a
panel representing children at play in
the woods, A single line of figures oc-
cupies the center Of the panel and on
each side a lad. IN the lean and unde-s
veloped muscularity of youth, stands
with appraised trumpet. The contrast
between the charming roundness ana
curves of early childhood and the
springing sinews and awkward lines OF
boyhoOd is forcibly portrayed. Several
panels OF similar order decorate the
walls. and it is evident that the artist
has made a close study OF the most de-
lightful characteristics of Childhood
and that she Is aiming toward repro
ducing them with sure hand
