for the construction of the landscaped setting for a sculptured
group depicting favorite characters from Charles Carroll's "Alice

its surrounding development is the gift of the George and Margarita
Delacorte Foundation in memory of the late Margarita Delacorte. Its
dedication is planned for early October.
The project was conceived by the designer Fernando Texidor.
The sculptured figures, which form its central feature, are now
being cast in bronze and are the work of the distinguished sculptor
Jose DeCreeft, who is represented in the permanent collections of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney 'Museum of American Art,
and the Museum of Modern Art.
The setting for the memorial is the design of Hideo Sasaki
and Associates, Site Planners and Landscape Architects. It consists
of a circular granite platform surrounding, and serving as a base

form, which is on the hillside overlooking Conservatory Lake with .
its model boats, will be approached by a wide stepped ramp, also
of granite. Benches and appropriate planting will help to make this
