A WORK OF TRUE ART THAT
SHOULD ADORN EVERY HOME

Mortimer Stone received Monday
from the Decorative Arts League, with
headquarters in New York City, ad-
vance literature descriptive of bas-
relief of Theodore Roosevelt It is a
beautiful work of art, 10x13 inches,
cast in solid medallium that will last
for ages. the work of James Earle
Fraser. This artist is not only great
craftsman but was chosen for the
work of making a bust Of Roosevelt
because he himself was familiar with
the kind of life that the subject en-
joyed and lived for many years-that
of the great outdoors. -------=<S--
While engaged in this work Fraser
was an inmate of the White House
and came to know the president inti-
mately Thus he came to know not on
" his facial lineaments but his char
acter as depicted therein, and he has
faithfully portrayed both in this bas-
relief. One art critic thus speaks OF
it: This is not a mere likeness of
Roosevelt's' FACET is the very spirit
and character of the man. He looks
out from it as though actually about
to speak 80 us-as though the very
words the sculptor has so happily en-
graved on the panel were forming in
his thoughts, and in a moment his
lips should utter them"
This bas-relief is an ornment to
any home. Not only that, but it would
be fine thing if every school room in
this country had one hanging on its
walls. not only as an ornament out
as an ever-present inspiration to the
youth of this land,
