Architect Carlu is now head professor of architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but the Carlus live and practice in Manhattan. Their home is her studio, and more homelike than studious. But there was nothing amateur about the pictures she exhibited last week.

Artist Carlu dimples as she admits that she was responsible for the sophisticated murals in the second floor lounge of Boston's Ritz-Carlton. "I did the figures," she says, "and my husband put in the landscape...

Evidently the Wellesley girl is a sort of golden mean. Students are familiar with the studious Vassar girl, the social Smith type, and the athletic maiden of Bryn Mawr. Perhaps the explanation for the number of letters which travel from Harvard to Wellesley every day is explained by the fact that the Wellesley girl is near at hand. Or perhaps she is, as has been suggested above, the happy combination of the qualities of students at the three other leading feminine colleges of the north...
