she shows the rarest facet Of her
genius In her work in porcelain.
Wee figurines. lamps and mantel
ornaments, they are instinct with
life and as full Of strength and
beauty as many a more ambitious
piece Of work. Most of Mrs. Tot.
tens porcelains are now being ex-
hibited in various cities of this
country under the auspices Of the
American Federation of Arts, but
she has some choice examples Of
her work In her studio and others
scattered through her lovely house.

permits his mother to entertain
her friends at tea. Major Totten,
who has been abroad for several
weeks, representing the United
States at meeting Of the Inter
national Society of Architects at
Brussels. will soon be homeward
bound.
Mr.. MacIntire, who is to help
Mrs. Totten with her school, is
himself an artist OF no mean abil-

Robert Reid, N. A. and Everett
Longley Warner, A. N. A.. in the

ARTISTS COLONY
NOW" DEVELOPING
i'm WASHINGTON
Mrs. Totten Will Re-
produce Salons of
Swedish Home.

TIME was when Washington
presented an anomoly, a capt.
tai which was neither a center Of
music, art nor letters. Now, how
ever, it is becoming quite a re-
spectacle music center. Much Of
the credit for this must go to Mrs.
Wilson Greene and T. Arthur
Smith, who bring the symphony
orchestras and scores Of first-rate
artists here every season, and to
the Washington Opera Company,
which Is ndeavoring-and by way
Of succeeding in its endeavor-to
give Washington opera Of which
it may well be proud. More and
more shining lights Of the literary
world are gravitating to the Capt.
tai and perhaps one Of these days
we may develop a genuine appre-
citation Of art.
We have our artists, good ones.
and from time to time there are
stunning exhibitions at the Ma
tional Gallery or the Corcoran Gal.
lery Of Art. But the number of
persons who visit these exhibitions
is shockingly few. Straws, how
ever, show the way the wind blows
and the interest which has been
shown in the Duncan Phillips Me-
mortal Gallery, which young Dun
can C. Phillips has opened in his
own charming home in Twenty.
first street, is indicative of a grow
ing enthusiasm for the graphic
arts. Another indication is the
amount Of space in the Sunday
papers which is being devoted to
news OF artists and the arts.
And now Mrs. George Oakley
Totten. jr., known internationally
as a sculptress under the name Of
Vicken Won Post, proposes a
scheme which should be exceed.
ingly useful in focusing the scat
tered units Of the artistic world.
Not only does she mean to start
such a school Of art as she main
tanned in Sweden, her former
home. but it is her intention to
inaugurate a series Of evenings de-
voted to the discussion OF art and
she hopes to bring together the
many gifted men and women who
are interested in subjects dear to
her heart.
In Sweden Mrs. Totten-Mrs.
Won Post. she was then-main-
tanned something akin to a salon
and her informal evening recep-
tions were frequented by the
cream Of the artistic world Of
Stockholm. She hopes to gather
the same sort of people about her
here. meeting in her delightful
studio from time to time, and pro.
poses to have each time a brief
talk by an authority on some ar
tistic subject, with discussion after.

Of the Broadmoor Art Academy,
