Hence she and her husband live quietly with their 9-year-old daughter Mary Frances ("Franja") and their Great Dane "Hamlet" on the second floor of the big, yellow-brick President's House overlooking the Midway, entertain intimates there. Instead of an automobile their garage houses a studio where Mrs. Hutchins ably sculpts and draws...
