Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney's model of ‘the “Motherhood Group,” ope of the bronze statues to be placed on the Mothers' Memorial tower planned by the Women's Universal Alliance for Massachusetts avenue and W street northwest, has been completed and photographs were received here yesterday from New York. In a letter from Mrs. Whitney to Mrs. C. C. Calhoun, president of the alliance, she gives the description of the design: “The group is of a boy carried away by the martial spirit, playing soldier with HKis father’s gun—the spirit of warfare without the appre- hension of danger. “His mother, realizing that the gun typifies the horrors of war, reproach- fully and firmly takes away the gun- knowing its = dangers—symbolizing the ~maternal, protective spirt of motherhood. “Sensing the danger of the gun, the boy's sister. in the group, instinc- tively shields the little brother and with a fillal desire for protection stles against her mother. ‘The other figure in the group is an infant held tightly in the other arm of the mother, typifying the material solicitude for the child." Drawings of the model will be sub- mitted to the Fine Arts Commission for approval at an early date. HORNET STING FATAL. TORRINGTON, Conn.. September 12.—Charles 8.
