International studio (26.1905)

Potomac. She was born in Ogdensburg. An inter-
esting sentiment thus attaches to her work in
commemorating the soldiers and sailors of St.
Lawrence County who died in the war with the
Confederacy.
The name given this design in competition was
"The Spirit of Liberty." The figure of Victory
surmounts a Roman column of Barre granite. The
figure is seven feet high, the standard projecting
four feet above. At the base of the column are four
war eagles and below them bronze shields bearing
the coat of arms of the United States, the coat of
arms of the State, the coat of arms of the County
and the inscription. The figure of Victory is grace-
fully posed, but perhaps the most interesting ele-
ment of the design is the figure of the soldier placed
at the base. The treatment in this figure, as well as
its relation to the whole, is realistic and every effort
has been made toward historical correctness.
IN THE July issue of THE INTERNATIONAL
STUDIO we inadvertently omitted from the repro-

READERS of the article in this number on "Weav-
ing in a Westchester Farm House" may be inter-
ested in the weaved rugs which have recently come
under our notice by the name of Pequot. These
are the work of Charles H. Kimball, of Norwich
Town, Conn. The name is derived from the
Pequot Indians, who occupied the region from
which Mr. Kimball's first loom, now nearly two
hundred years old, was taken. The material of
these rugs, which have a refreshing simplicity in
design, is cotton, and the weaving is done as in the
old-fashioned rag carpet, well known for its dura-
bility, though in these rugs the warp threads are
much closer together and the weaving finer. The
rugs are usually made in one size, three by six feet,
and are woven in a variety of patterns and shades,
such as delft blue, blue and white quill pattern,
warm green woof weaved in old blue warp, white
with designs in blue or yellow, Indian red and other
tones.
