sculptress. All about, hanging on the walls, or standing or re- 
clining on huge pedestals are the works of her hand, small and 
great, some completed, some in the clay, some still rough in their 
beginning. One bold fact is noticeable about these works—Mrs. 
Ladd is not mererly an artist; she is a teacher. Her works are
