Among recent sculpture, one of the most interesting works shown is a group by C. L. Pietro, of New York, "The Mother of the Dead," a powerful story in bronze of the burden which the war has brought to woman. Another human tragedy is well told in "The Outcast," a graphic figure by Attilio Piccirilli. The honor-winners in sculpture are named in the following list. Awards
And afterwards there came love letters, furtively exchanged in church, and the winning-over of maids to facilitate stolen meetings, at first so innocent. In the end, a marriage often resulted. Celia, for her part, had determined to win Attilio on the very first day when their eyes had met.
Living in New York in truly Florentine style is the Piccirilli family a household of five families. It is said that nowhere in America is the old Florentine style of the fourteenth century way of living so well exemplified. The men of the family were marble cutters, but within the last few years Attilio, an elder brother, has been expressing himself in sculpture of a pronounced order.

Yet she was taking Attilio to herself, and giving herself to him without reserve.
