House and Garden 
design of the winged lion 
and the curve of the seat 
are very beautiful and have 
been executed in Mansfield 
stone. 1 am glad to be 
able to give some more 
examples of the work of 
this very clever sculptress, 
whose artistic ability is as 
remarkable as her indus¬ 
try. They include the 
statue of a water nymph 
which was so much ad¬ 
mired in the Academy of 
1902 and which is now 
erected in the Comtesse 
Bearn’s garden in Paris. 
The whole design of the 
fountain cannot well be 
judged from the photo¬ 
graph which was taken in 
the studio before it was set 
up. The water pours out 
of the mouth of the mask 
into the upper basin, down over four steps 
into a large semi-circular basin, surrounded 
by a wall, and finally comes out through the 
mouths of three lions into 
a tank at the base from 
which the water can be 
drawn. It is executed in 
travertine. 
Of the fountain exe¬ 
cuted by Countess Feo¬ 
dora for Mr. Walter Palmer 
at Frognal, England, we 
have a better idea, the pho¬ 
tograph having been taken 
after it was set up, but 
even in this case there is 
something wanting, as the 
space around it is unfin¬ 
ished. A steep path leads 
down to the fountain from 
the house, and a circular 
grass path is to be made 
with seats to form a set¬ 
ting for the center-piece. 
The figure is of green 
bronze, and stands on a 
pedestal which has four 
cockle-shells from which water spouts into an 
upper basin of modern pavonazetto. This is 
supported by four bronze caryatides whose
