"One of the most interesting experiences
Of my whole trip was an excursion up the
Elbe, from Dresden, with about 1900 school

seeing the effect of the German system
upon the physical side of the child and 1t
proved an eye-opener for me. Among
those thousand and more children 1 was
able to find only two who wore glasses,
and the great majority of them were fine,
healthy-looking children. large and strong

England is progressing in its provisions
for children, but it is still behind the

While Lucas Cleeve" was always in hot
water and going through law courts over
money matters, one of her most aston

altogether. Ii seems that her own money
troubles were more or less contagious, ="
as her slster-in-laB, Mrs. Marie Stephanie
Drummond Wolff, found herself on the
verge Of bankruptcy in 1894. Mrs King
scote conceived a plan for Saving the
situation"-and her sister from the bank

army man. Mator Adams, to marry Mrs.
Drummond Wolff. The quixotical and
chivalrous Major, saw his would-be-bride on
Nov. ], 1894, for the first time, and the
wedding took place three days later, in
accordance with the prearranged plan. The
Major Immediately went to Join his regi-
ment in india, while the happy bride sent
remittances to her pressing creditors, who
were far more numerous than the wedding
guests. After five years Of welded Iiin-
anciaD bliss the Major obtained a divorce
from his impecun!ous wife. Judge Buck
mill, before whom these proceedings came,
alluded to the wedding as altogether
'quixotic, but not inconsistent with the
honor of an English gentleman"
1t is doubtful II any Of the characters
in Lucas Cleeve's" widely circulated novels

the author herself experienced. Not long
ago, she was asked to give a biographical
sketch of her life. She said that her
education had begun and ended in 'the

the author OF a number Of startling novels,

a series of adventures, mostly connected
with financial affairs, but occasionally de-

counsel, Sir George Lewis, defended her on
the ground that. at the time, a money
lender was charging Lucas Cleeve" 60
per cent interest on a loan. This was in
1898. The case attracted an enormous
amount OF attention at the time.
Lord Byron lent Mrs. Kingscote sums OF
money on the strength OF her statement
that she had a reversionary interest in
property worth $4,000. and that a relative
had sold the American government an in
