Mrs Totten is an accomplished sculptor, and has done most interest- ing as well as unique work in porce- lain, produeing charming little graups and statuettes full of grace and charm and fanciful suggestion in that rather unusual medium. An exhibition of her work was shown here in the early summer, and later at Newport, at- tracting much favorable attention. It is to be exhibited in New ork this autumn, and will later be shown.in other cities. * Kk ok * A statue of Massasoit by Cyrus E. Dallin of Boston has lately been erec ed on Coles Hill, Plymouth, Mass;, by the Impraved Order of Red Men.. It is colossal in size, the figure measur- ing 9 feet nches in height. Its erection may be regarded as a part of the celebration this past summer and autumn of the anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. There is a story current to the effect that when & New Englander recently boasted that his ancestor had come over in the Mayflower, an Indian in the company spoke up and said that his ancestor was a member of the reception committee. It is well that thé reception committee is lkewi being memorialized. . Dallin has nfade a specialty of In- dian subjects, and his sculpture pos- sesses genuine artistic merit. One of his equestrian Indian statues is in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, an- to the Great excellent place 'in_front of the Boston Art Mu- gliven seum.
