was by Grosvenor Atterbury; the decorative panels by Hugo Ballin, while Mrs. Whitney's work was the fountain with figure of Pan.  In 1910 the heroic three-figure fountain in Marble known as the Arlington Fountain received the gold medal at the World's Fair in San Francisco. A replica in bronze was brought by the American Society of Peru and presented to the Peruvian Government to be erected in Lima (1924).

Her model for the Aztec fountain, now in the Pan-American Building, Washington, D.C., was first shown in 1912.  The design is suggested by the art of the original rulers of Mexico.  The same year she exhibited a head of a Spanish peasant, an admirable and strong piece of character work, which was bought by the Metropolitan Museum (which also own s the Caryatid).

It was, however, her memorial design in commemoration of the victims of the appalling "Titanic" disaster that placed her in the first rank of American sculptors.
