McNutt and Giro Algeria. the lat
ter a young Peruvian writer.
With her feminine Atters she has
apparently succeeded less well
Less carefully modelled, they seem
to wear masks rather than divulge
character. Her treatment in these
instances Is also quite different,
extremely simple, rather modernis-
tic and primarily decorative. This
may be explained by the fact that
Senorita del Prado always has been
attracted by strength and simplic-
ity rather than grace and subtlety.
Her treatment of her subjects hair
Is Interestingly conventional, stylis-
tic, but rather from this stand
point overdone.
Also whereas her heads OF men
are finished with bronze color and
smooth rejecting surface the ma
jority of those of women that she
shows are painted pink Of rather
deep tone initiative of light terra
cotta-a finish which does not evil
dence the delicacy of modelling
which is beneath its surface. Those
which have been left In white plaS-
ter, though perhaps q bit cold. are
much more effective, spirituelle and
intimate. Especially engaging are
her portraits Of Mrs. Thomas Burke,
Mrs. Roger P. Holt, Mrs. McNutt
and June Culbertson.
Senorita del Prado Is represented
In the exhibition of contemporary
sculpture Of the Western Hemi-
sphere at the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art by one Of her wood carvings
in high relief. shown last season
at the Pan-American Union.

Portrait Heads in Sculpture
Bv Sen0rifa Del Prado.

Dv OeUOTtIO Det If00O.
In the foyer OF the National Mu-
scum there is now on view a collec-
tion Of Is portrait heads by Senorita
Marina Nunez del Prado OF Bolivia,
who approximately a year ago was
introduced to Washington art con-
noisseurs by an exhibition in the
Pan-American Union which attract
ed much favorable attention. The
present showing consists almost ex-
clusively of work done In the last II
months and is impressive for quality
as we'll as quantity.
In Senorita del Prado's first ex-
hibition she was represented almost
entirely by sculpture in wood done
in the idiom of the primitive, an
idiom with which all Latin Ameri-
cans are especially sympathetic and
familiar. In her present display she
shows an equally intelligent under
standing of classical motifs and
manifests her ability to adapt her
self to them.
The five portraits that she shows
Of men are very strong and fine,
boldly modelled but vital, engaging
in surface treatment but essentially
plastic in conception and handling.
Chief among these are her portraits
Of Vice President Wallace and Chief
Justice Stone. Excellent, however,
also, are her portraits Of Paul v.

This is one reason why men like
dogs so much.
Most men are anxious TO
spread happiness and content
ment, but they like to feel it Is
appreciated.
One of the reasons so many
marriages are unhappy is that
the husband finds it not only
difficult but very often beyond
his power to make his wife
happy and contented no matter
how hard he tries to bring that
state of affairs about.
Some large organizations In
vestigate the married life or
their executives.
They do not do this to pry
into the affairs Of their en-
ployes but with a view Of ascer-
tanning whether or not the mans
home life is happy.
