Hornbostel and Eric Fisher Wood of Pittsburgh. Their design calls for a circular mausoleum, 49 ft. high and 80 ft. in diameter. It will be supported by Doric columns and within will be an open court. In the court, two black marble slabs shaded by a single willow tree will cover the sarcophagi of the President and Mrs. Harding. A stair will lead down to a marble-lined crypt. The memorial will stand in a ten-acre park for which A. D. Taylor of Cleveland will be landscape gardener. They hope to open the memorial by Nov. 2, 1927, which...

Notable is his portrait of a girl in blue mending her underwear out-of-doors in the ripple and shadow of sunlight and uneasy willow branches. Yet for all this iridescent preciosity, there is solidity of grouping, vigorous draughtmanship, broad effects of mass...
