Mrs. Andrews was for several years
a pupil Of her husband in the Cor
coran School Of Art, and with his
advice she studied under the best
masters here and abroad. with the
idea Of adopting professional career.
She was eminently successful, but she
elected to follow that more feminine
career represented in the home. Soon
after gathering all kinds of honors
in Paris and Munich, attracting the
attention Of the late William N. Chase
Of New York, through her apparent
gift for portrait painting. she mar
ried Prof. Andrews, was for a time
his assistant instructor in the life
classes at the Corco ran School, and
then definitely eliminated all from
her life which would interfere with
her care of home and the two young
sters who had come to bless it. But,
possessing indomitable energy and
pen as gifted as her brush, these
years were filled with sketches for
nursery verses, rhymes and playlets,
all OF which have since proved very
useful in the many pageantS and en-
tertainments which Mrs. Andrews
constantly devises for charity.
Her splendid success with THE
Cross Triumphant" will occur to every
Washingtonian living here during the
past five years. She has written many
other successful pageants and is at
present the president OF the Associa-
ton Of Theater Arts and chairman of

CAVES IN STONE-AGE HUNT
Prehistoric Relics Sought in France Where ExcaUa-

Near Les Eyzies. .s

of the distant paleolithic epoch; Made
leine. which has given it's name to
Magalenian, and Moustier. to the Nous
terrain epoch of the old stone age. all
carrying the prehistoric record back at
least $4,000 years.
The examinations of the past have
produced amazing relics of those dim
ages OF the long ago, and now that a
methodical examination sponsored by
the Archaeological Society of Washing
ton is to be undertaken. 1t is con-
fidently expected by scientists here
that discoveries probably eclipsing all
that have gone before will be brought
to light.
In Charge of Excavating.
The work in excavating the caves
is being done under the personal di-
rection of Prof. and Mrs. George
Grant MacCurdy. who had previously
done considerable research work in
this region. The lease taken by the
Washington society resulted from d
visit that was made to the ancient
abodes by Prof. Mitchell Carroll. also
of this city, 'and students of the
School OF Prehistoric Research. At
that time Prof. and Mrs. MacCurdy
took the distinguished visitors over
the workings and they saw enough
already barred to their eyes to bring
to them a realization of the rich
relics of antiquity that must lie be-
meath the dust of the ages.
The final conclusion of the Ieass
was made possible through the gen
erosity of Col. William Eric Fowler
one of the trustees of the Archeo-
logica Society of Washington. 1t
gives the society sole privilege of ex-
caration and control of the finds
made in the caves. Arrangements
were Immediately entered into with
Prof. and Mrs. MacCurdy and the
work was begun without delay. AL
ready the excavators have reported
discoveries Of numerous prehistoric
fint implements in addition to
faunal remains
