BY HARRIET FRENCH

Lenore Thomas Straus, who
has the mind of a poet and the
hands of a sculptor, works
daily at carving figures from
limestone, marble or wood.
She appreciates her talent
and regards it as a gift"
which should be used. Never
theless, she is convinced that
her sculpture must be a part
of her home life; it is not to be
INDUCED in at the expense of
her husband, Robert, a man
agement consultant, or their
children Nora, 8, and Eric, 9.
Mrs. StrauS is interested in
the application of her art and
feels very strongly that sculp-
ture should have a destination.
Carving an idea out of stone"
she says, is only part of
sculpture. 1t should be used
and loved by perceptive people
who love their gardens and
their homes"
The Strauses live in a fas-
cinating house designed by
Charles Goodman in a rural
community near Accokeek,
Md.
Carvings In Garden
In the garden are several
pieces of sculpture by Mrs.
Straus. One is a figure of st.
Francis with a blue bird in
his hand and a little lamb
tucked under one arm.
On the big inclosed porch,
which seems to be among the
tree tops, is a carving from a
cherry log of a girl embracing
a sailor. Typical of Norfolk
where the Strauses lived while
Mr.. StrauS was serving as a
lieutenant in the Navy. Other
subjects are hewed from white
marble, Belgian black marble,
rough terra Gotta, high fire
terra Gotta and plaster.
Inside the studio-home are
water colors, murals and small
pieces of sculpture. There is
an intriguing bathroom which
has two walls made of tiles,
painted and fired by Mrs.

Straus. The kitchen, too, is
decorated with her tiles.
Mrs. Straus. then Lenore
Thomas q native of Chicago,
came to Washington during
the depression days. 1T was
the only place where one could
get sculpture commission
job" The previous year, she
had taught art at the Ethel
Walker School in Simmsbury,
Conn.
Working with the Resettle-
ment Administration, this
artist craftsman made the
huge limestone Statue Of
Mother and Child which
stands in Town Center, Green
belt, Md. ct weighed IL tons
when finished.) She also
made the has reliefs over the
door of the school building in
Greenbelt.
Later, while working on
WPA housing projects, she
carved the huge concrete frog
on which children climb at
Langston Terrace.
1t was about that time that
she met Robert Straus, brother
of Michael Straus, then Assis-
tant Secretary of the Interior.
The StrauseS are one of 80
families, each owning five or
more acres of land near Ac-
cokeek, who Joined together
comparatively to maintain the
acres pleasant character"
Actually, Mrs. Straus'
studio-workshop, built on land
purchased from Henry Clag-
gett, was the beginning of an
interesting community.
Hers is a real work shop.
In it are plaster figures to be
cast in concrete, so designed
that as many as necessary
may be used to make a grill
fence or a jungle gym.
In the making is a carved
figurehead of white pine.
After Mrs. Straus has gilded
it and given it red hair. it will
be mounted on the family's
40-foot schooner, Strombus,
and proudly sail the Chesa-
peake.

MODERN MARRIAGE
Problems Not Solved
By Long Separation

People are sometimes told, IF
you'll separate for six months
you'll miss each other so much
that you will come back to-
gether happily" It's not true.
II you do come back, you
haven't solved the problems
that drove you apart In the
first place.
Either partner. while sep
arated, may too easily be
drawn into new emotional or
sexual relationships that will
hinder reconstruction of the
marriage. Either one. finding
it a relief not to have to face
and solve the problems of mar
riage. may think it too much
trouble to go back. II they do

often expects the other to
make all the adjustments,
because there has been no
opportunity for the develop
ment of growth patterns dur
ing separation.
The way to deal with marital
conflict is to face it frankly.
analyZe the causes, and deal
with them in detail. I'll gladly
put readers in touch with
competent marriage COUNSEL
ing in their own part of the
country. but please inclose a

velope with your request. My

I just must let you in on a
fascinating talk with Leonard
Warren, famous not only as
one Of the worlds greatest
baritones, but as one Of operas
most versatile and convincing
actors.
The imposing number of
roles he sings proves his in
finite variety, ranging from
the fat. gross, jolly Falstaff,
to the sad, long-faced Rigo-
letto, from the simple-seeming
Tonic in Pagliacci to the SIMS
ter Scarpia of Tosca.
How do you do it," I asked.
Mr.. Warren laughed and
said. You should be the last
to ask that because great
deal of it is due to makeup"
Leonard Warren continued.
"This works two ways, visu-
ally and psychologically; first
its effect on the performer and
then on the audience. When I
put white powder in my hair.
not only look older to my
self in the mirror and to the
audience in the theater but it
is easier for me to feel like an
actor must brood about the
older man.
when I put on a beard !
also put on the mannerisms of
a man with a beard. Depend
ing on the script, it may be
that the beard evokes greater
dignity, greater wickedness or
greater wisdom. Whatever is
called for in projecting the
part. the beard makes it easier
to do"
This great artist went on to
say that of course any good
characterization needs much
more than makeup, that the
character until he begins to
understand his reaction to the
situations in the opera. The
actor must also study the pc
Rod in which the story takes
place. He must create a walk
here, a gesture there. For in
stance, Rigoletto is a hunch-
back, and so, of course, his

Separation in time Of con-
flict is not likely to bring q
husband and wife closer to-
gether Too often it destroys
a marriage which might other
wise have been strengthened
easily.
Mrs. F. is on the wrong
track when she writes: Il have
reached an impasse after seven
years of marriage. I feel we
need competent help. We have
no church connections, so we
can't seek help from the
church. We have decided that
I should take a trip"
In the first place, Mrs. F.
no one needs hesitate to call on
a clergyman for counsel. His
interest is not limited to the
members of his own flock.
Much Of the best marriage
counseling nowadays is done
by clergymen, and as a class
they are becoming more and
more skilled In it. The Amer
lean Institute of Family Rela-
tons furnishes training and
materials to ministers all over
the continent. Large city
churches. especially. seek to
render a service in this field
one in Connecticut, for in
stance. has four assistant
clergymen who devote their
time almost wholly to COUNSEL
ing.
In any event. don't think
you will solve your problems
by running away from them.

and find mine a perfect joy
It's an lift. capacity and ]
seldom have enough room in
it. Not only does it save money
on food, but the convenience
and time saving 1t offers is
wonderful, and its possibilities
endless.
I have never bought meat in
large quantities. such as a
quarter Of beef. fifty chickens,
etc., which would deplete the
pocketbook and leave no room
in the freezer for anything else.
Rather, I buy a few cuts Of
meat each week, depending on
what the stores are featuring

When apples are at their

Perenniols From, Seed
Mrs. G. G.. HyattsDille


To the lady who wants to
grow perennials from seed: I
have tried great many kinds.
The easiest and most satisfac-
tory from my experience are:
shasta daisies. coreopSis. car
nations, pinks and columbines.
The most delightful biennials
and very easy to grow are:
pansies and canterbury bells.
The most satisfactory an
nuals, to me are asters. snap
dragons, the large chrysan-
themum shaped marfgolds.
portulaca and forget-me-nots.
The last two. and larkspur, as
well, seed themselves and keep
coming back. Dwarf dahlias
are easy from seed too.
The first step before plant
ing should be planning your
garden on paper. 1t may not
always come out exactly as
planned, but is less apt to
look ragged and helter-skelter.
Strawberries are nice for
edging. but will take over the
garden II not kept within
bounds.
I have had the best years Of
my life Transforming our
muddy patch into something
approaching my dream of how
1t should look.
To the lady who wants to
buy unbleached flour: the
chain food stores named for
our two oceans carries I'M
bleached flour, the brand
name beginning with c and
ending with A. I use it in
almost all my baking, even
for bread. and it is excellent.
RICH is a daily must with me
and I'm glad to be able to
contribute something at last.
