Forsaking New York Home
American Artist To Live
Among People She Paints
NEW YORK UP)—For our idea
of the way Mexico and Mexicans
look, many of us have to thank an
American woman who began cross
ing over the Rio Grande to paint
the exotic land and people just 25
years ago.
She is Doris Rosenthal. She has
just had one of her frequent ex
hibitions at the Midtown Galleries
of pictures of Indian boys and
girls, young men and women, old
white walls, great clusters of
fruit and heaps of vegetables,
children in school, bare feet, round
faces, shiny white teeth,, streaming
black hair.
Miss Rosenthal went to Mex
ico for the first time on the
first of her two Guggenheim
fellowships. The whitehaired
artist says her interest in
these distant, colorful people
first was aroused many years
ago:
“I remember as a child thinking
of Indians, and imagining Indians,
the way most of our youngsters
do, or used to do.”
“Playing Indian” may not have
done much for the rest of us but
it has in effect got Miss Rosen
thal’s familiar pictures into some
of the best collections in this coun
try and abroad, and some of the
largest museums: The Metropolitan
and the Museum of Modern Art
here, and the institutions in To
ledo, Rochester, San Diego and
Colorado Springs.
The Indians in Mexico have
been to Miss Rosenthal what
the inhabitants of Tahiti were
to Gauguin, and the visitors
to Coney Island were to Regi
nald Marsh. They have be
come as much her specialty
as the birds became to Audu
bon, and the holy men in the
Bible to Fred Nagler.
They have been so much her
specialty, in fact, that, like Gau
guin, she has decided to cast her
lot among them:
“I’m going to live there for
ever!” she says.
She has been making her home
in this city, but she wants peace
and quiet. Though she used to
teach here, and has lived here for
years, she is moving lock stock
and barrel, via station wagon, to
an acre of land she bought in
Oaxaca, a city of some 50,000
which is the capital of the state
of Oaxaca. It is some distance
south of Mexico City.
Suits for Easter
Will Be Varied
In Style, Fabric
By DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press Women’s Editor
In the spring a woman’s fancy
invariably turns to thoughts of an
Easter suit. She also dreams of
hats and shoes, gloves and hand
bags and crisp new fripperies, of
course, but the major objective is
the suit.
This spring it will be a fussy
customer indeed who can’t find a
flattering suit silhouette, because
the new suits are easier to wear
than they have been in years, and
they come in many varieties.
In the first place you won’t
have to wear a waist cincher any
more to squeeze into a tightly
fitted jacket. Lines have been
eased, and the loose or semi-fitted
jacket in the new thing. Skirts
may be slim or pleated, but all
have room for walking.
Tall women will like the new
tiered skirts, seen in many high-
style suits, usually accompanied by
a semi-fitted hipbone length jack
et. For women who don’t like the
tubular look there are plenty of
pleated skirts which look slim
when standing still, but allow free
dom for climbing in and out of
taxis.
The new suits are notable for
handsome, light-weight fabrics and
soft, feminine details such as neck
line bows, piping, tab trimmings
and other dressmaker tricks.

The newest trend in home furn

with modern improvements.
In recent furniture showings,
the most notable change has been
the return to traditional designs
reproduced with a contemporary
touch.
A grandfather clock gets mod
ern treatment with plastic mater
ial, streamlined design and new
electric works. An old-fashioned
breakfront china cabinet is done
in handsome natural mahogany,
with doors and drawers working
with modern mechanical perfec
tion.
The round dining room table
of grandfather’s day stages a
comeback, but with formica top
and streamlined base.
There are rocking chairs
brought up to date with foam rub
ber upholstery and easy-to-clean

Junior Leaguers Find Work
InfUnusual Library Rewarding
AP Nfcwsfeatures
Above Mrs. George Mott’s desk in the New York Junior League
headquarters hangs a series of letters, most of them written in child
ish hands. In some, spelling, punctuation and the use of capitals
is irregular, but in all the sentiment is clear.
The first, in large uneven letters, just says: “I think your books
are wonderful.” Another, in a ♦
more mature hand, is a poem ex
tolling the virtues of libraries.
These are the tokens of appreci
ation that make Mrs. Mott and
the 50-member committee of the
Merry-Go-Round and the Pen and
Book Clubs happy.
The two clubs are run by the
New York Junior League as free
services to bedfast people in the
five boroughs of the city. Each
of the committee members acts
as librarian for six bedfast mem
bers, mailing with each book a
letter, paper for a reply and re
turn postage.
They choose the books from
a small but well stocked library
at the League’s headquarters, the
budget for which is supplied from
the annual Mardi Gras Ball.
Mrs. Mott’s files reveal many
amusing and touching stories be
hind the libray’s work.
Among them is the story of a
boy who kept “Treasure Island”
—the most popular book in the
children’s section—for many
months. Severals letters were
sent to him, but ignored. Event
ually the book was returned, with
a note apologizing for the time,
it had been kept.
He wrote: “I loved the story
so much I copied it all out by hand,
so I could have it always.”
To simmer a food means to cook
irt liquid just below the boiling
point. Bubbles should form slowly
and break just below the surface
of the liquid.
