Eighty-four per cent Of the bust

among firms which did not advertise.
This is the assertion made by Brad

is as unbiased an authority as can be
found in the business world today.

''Ten-Inch Genius"
Models Subjects
while Chatting
Ivie MacCarthy Arrives
to "Sculp" Arms
Conference.

THE interesting personalities of
the arms conference are due
to see themselves in sculptured
snapshots.
Ivie MacCarthy, the "ten-inch
genius" Is in Washington for the
sole purpose of modelling the main
conference figures in her customary
Tanagra style. She does them in
their characteristic poses in min
iature, not more than ten inches
high. Her work Is remarkable in
the manner Il which she catches
the spirit Of their personality and
for the action displayed in these
small studies.
One reason for her great success
il that she docs not require her
subjects to pose specially for her.
Indeed II 10 not even necessary
for them to 90 to her studio. She
goes to them. in their offices. or
wherever It is customary for them
to be at their work. They need
not keep to studied pose. but in
chatting with them or watching
them work with her camera-like
eyes she catches the pose that IL
most characteristic of them and
that she carries back with her to
her studio. where she sets up the
figure from memory. Many Of
her subjects are surprised, when
she comes back to see them the
second time. to see the sculptured
likeness of themselves 30 near COM
pletion. It is surprising also to
see a likeness. which she never
fails to obtain, in anything 90
small, the heads rarely being any
larger than a cherry.
Miss MacCarthy il an American
girl, but has had two successful
seasons in London, where she had
many prominent people sit for her.
She did Lady Aston during her
letter.writing time at home. She
modelled Lord Northcliffe in his
office; John Burroughs. the great
naturalist. while he nodded in .
chair. Caruso she did from tho
wings; Sir Harry Lauder in the
same manner. In her studio at the
Hadleish these remarkable figures
are now on display.
