of such a scene. A very impressive manifestation
of the achievement of women in art was the col-
lection of sculpture to be seen at the Plastic Club
Galleries until Dec. 28. The Auguste Rodin
medal was awarded to Anna Vaughan Hyatt for
her model of the Jeanne d'Arc equestrian monu-
ment recently unveiled in New York; honor-
able mention to Florence Lucius for a very ani-
mated Garden Group of dancing figures, to Grace
Mott Johnson for a well-modelled Old Lion, and
to Beatrice Fenton for her Portrait Study. The
winning model of the Bolivar Monument with its
equestrian statue by Sally James Farnham was a
notable item in the collection. Another was a head
in black Belgian marble from the Titanic Mem-
orial by Gertrude V. Whitney. A Bacchanal Head
in antique bronze by Evelyn Beatrice Longman
and a head executed in black Egyptian marble,
partly disengaged from the stone and entitled An
Impression by Renee Prahar, noted departures
from the conventional work of sculptors. There
was a beautifully expressive nude by the late Helen

Farnsworth Mears; a Duck Baby and Frog Baby,
fountain figures by Edith Baretto Parsons, sun
dials, wall fountains and incense burners. The
exhibition included ninety-one works and owed its
success to the efforts of Miss C. Beatrice Fox, a
member of the club, who is a sculptor, and to
Miss Ethel de Turck, chairman of exhibition
committee.

nature of the regulations is the most that may
be expected. True, there were some excellent
canvases, not only in the Vanderbilt Gallery but
