A BEAUTIFUL PLAYGROUND
By FRANCES sHAFFER.

1 wish every city might have a repro-
duction Of what is known In Denver as
the Glitch Gardens. which constitute a
great civic playground. uniquely combin-
Ing entertainment, natural beauty, and
a clever business enterprise
This summer entertainment park is the
venture OF a woman. Mrs. Mary Glitch
Long, who some years ago inherited an
apple orchard, "a truck farmland a

a recreation center which would yield
richly in the way of business returns,
natural and transplanted beauty, plenty
OF wholesome diversion, and a moral tone

And her dream has been beautifully
fulfilled.

1t sounds like a bit of ideaiism, be-
cause the keynote of the whole plan
suggests purity Of atmosphere and pleas
ure for the masses without a trace of
rowdyism or a hint OF anything that
might lower the standard of the gardens.
But 1t is idealism 30 well mixed with the
practical that 1t has succeeded, and for
sixteen years the gardens have fur |
n!shed wholesome playground for big !
tolk and for little folk alike.
And very beautiful playground II |
must be in the springtime. for the apple |

Qualities of Good Breeding.

think a woman's ideal Of a man
should be governed by good qualities en-
tirely-those which usually constitute
good breeding, because these are the
qualities which characterize the ideal
man.
This ideal must possess a good educa-
ton: be ambitious in Industrial finan-
cial. social. and moral progresses in life
to attain the standard OF modern time.
His mind must be attended by sturdf-
ness, diligence, and precaution to cope
with his Industrial duties. In all, he
must have confidence.
Financially, he need not be rich; but
be saving. reasonably generous. shrewd,
and alert to business opportunities Of
the present day.
Socially possess good manners and be
sociable.
Physically he needn't be good looking,
must be healthy, robust. and wen de-

especially to an extent to maintain health
to perform his daily duties.
Morally he must be honest, bear a
good character, and lead an upright life

the power Of the multimillionaire, makes
