are over. the women of the neighborhood
may come there and do their own family
washing with the benefit OF the most up
to-date appliances and with some one to
show them how the job may best be &C
complished.
That is a sound practical use Of school
property which, so far as I ksow, is alb
solutely unique. 1t is right in line with
modern ideas. And it is tremendously
interesting to find it coming as a result
OF the progressiveness of this remarkable
Southern woman.
The g hCol contains also shower .batls,
a swimming pool, and a combined gym
nasium, kindergarten, and auditorium.
This is genuine social center for the
neighborhood. For at night it is used
for entertainments. clubs. and other meet
ings which include fathers and mothers
as well as the children.
For this school the Civic League raised
$4,000. and this was added to the amount
appropriated by the school board. The
league is not through yet. 1t will grade,

Mrs. Breckinridge has also done much

She needed a new suit; Lester had no
money Just then. so he would say: Wait

with the one you've got?"
The kitchen needed a new outfit Of
cooking utensils, but IL was month OF
retrenchment and he would answer:
Surely there isn't any hurry about
those. There's a whole row of them on
the pantry shelf"
And Daisy would go shabby in her
frayed suit and her work would be made
infinitely harder with the worn-out sauce
pans because il was not convenient to
Lester to he regular and businesslike in
money matters. On the other hand. he
was recklessly lavish when the whim

Very few amateur gardeners are ia
tniliar with the possibilities Of growing
plants in hotbeds or cold frames:
They imagine that IL requires expert
knowledge TO accomplish satisfactory re-
suits, when in reality very little expert
menting will teach you all there is to
know about this type OF gardening.
This is the season that awakens the
impulse to start seeds growing In boxes
TO place in the sunny windows of our
homes.
Why not prepare a hotbed and gain a
start on nature before the time for plant
ing out Of doors arrives? In this man.
ner you can satisfy the longing to dig
in the soil several months before the
frost has entirely left the earth.
It is always a problem for the anna
teur to know just the proper time to plant
seeds in the open, and this bit. Of in
formation may prove of help.
Peach and plum trees blossom in an
average temperature Of IS degrees in the
shade, and vegetable seeds, such as beets,
cabbage, caulifower. lettuce, onions and
radishes, will germinate If planted at
this time.
When the apple trees blossom. the tenn
perature is so degrees, which is the time
time to plant tomatoes, beans, corn, po-
tatoes and vegetables of this type
Flowers are more tender and therefore
require a warmer temperature. so wait
until the apple blossoms have fallen be-
fore planting flowers out Of doors.
The advantage of the hotbed is that
you can have the pleasure of seeing the
plants grow sor weeks before you could
think OF starting seeds.
To make a hotbed successfully, there
must first be a subframe OF stone. brick,
concrete or material Of this type, i'm
bedded in the soil to retain the heat The
pit should be dug four feet deep. and at
least a foot larger than the frame you
intend covering il with.
A brick of concrete frame is the most
satisfactory, for both are virtually In
destructiple.
When using concrete 1t is necessary
to make a form of boards, which is re-
moved as soon as the concrete hardens.
The subframe need only extend two feet
in the pit.
The top surface must be sloped prop

Who's Who Among
Women
Mrs. Desha Breckenridge. a Twen-
ieth Century Southern Woman.
BY MARY b. MULLETT.

GFfs, Desha Breckinridge is a grand
eau yhter of Henry Clay. This fact gets
l-sr mention; not because it is the most
-nportant thing that can be said ABOUT
her. but because it is almost the least
.ll ortant one.
II you need any proof that times have
changed in the South. you have 1t in that
statement. Fifty years ago Kentucky
woman could have gone through LIE
CreditabIy with no other claim TO distlnc-
tion than that she was the granddaugh-
ter of a famous man.
Today, the least vital fact about Mrs.
Breckinridge is this one concerning her
lineage She is doing too many big
things on her own account to have to de-
pend on reflected glory.
Mrs. Breckenridge lives in Lexington,
Ky which-as you may remember to
have heard a few thousand times-is In
the heart of the famous bluegrass region.
1t is the country of fine horses, gallant
men, and beautiful women.
To call a woman "a bluegrass BELLE
or words to that effect-was once the
highest compliment that could be paid
her.
Mrs. Breckinridge has changed all that.
She has set up a new standard. Not de-
liberately. but in spite of herself. For
she has shown what a woman of SINGER
ity. ability, and noble character can do.
AS the president for a number of years
of the Civic League, OF Lexington, Mrs.
Breckenridge has shown what can be done
in a city of that size. The league. which
is composed of men and women, has not
confined its work to its own town.
II had a large part in securing a COM
pulsory school law for the State. 1t Sc
cured also a juvenile court law for the
State. These were practically the first
such laws in any of the Southern States.
The juvenile court law obtained through
Mrs. Breckinridge's efforts is practically
the same as the one in Colorado, includ-
ing the adult contributory feature. which
is considered so important.
During the past few years she has been
working through the Civic League to get
new school laws for second-class cities.
She wants these laws to provide especial
ly for a small school board to be elected
without the intervention of political par
ties. In other words, she is trying to re-
move the schools from what is called
the sphere Of practical politics.
In Lexington itself she has been instru-
mental in establishing a model school
which has become famous throughout the
South. 1t is in a poor section of the city
where it is especially needed. The chill
dren OF the neighborhood need to be
taught more than the three RS. They

she could. She was surprised to lind what
a costly trinket Testers gift had been.
II bought the suit she needed. il bought
shoes and a hat: IL allowed for the plumb
er's bill, and cooking dishes besides.
Never had she ~ many crying needs
filled at one stroke. But not the con-
sciousness OF being well dressed. not the
satisfaction of parryinG criticism; not the
comfort OF having her work made lighter.
could compensate to her for the sense of
loss that followed upon this transaction
To deceive her father and mother in his de-
fense was one thnE, but to deceive Les
ter in her own was quite another. and
that was the inevitable next step. And
as she framed an excuse with which to
meet possible inquiries after the missing
necklace. she thought Of the legion of
women who deceive their husbands in
money matters. in petty ways that she
had always scOrned. and thought to her
self:
Il suppose this IS the way they began"
For Daisy had Joined their ranks.

Daisy Finds a Way to End
Troubles Caused by Pres
ents Of GOLD When She
Needs Brass.

When Daisy had been married to Les
ter a year her mother said Of the latter;
I'm afraid he Is mean"
He father said:
He's crazy"
And Daisy said to herself. with sigh;
He is peculiar"
This does not mean that Lester was
not, on the whole. a very good husband
Their varying comments referred to his
ways in money matters. Daisy had al
ways had her allowance, and II had been
arranged that she should have one after
her marriage. Lester was perfectly will
ing to promise II. and for a few months
he paid ii with fair regularity and with
out complaint. But he was not a busi-
ness man; he was rather erratic in many
ways: his own salary was irregular. and
gradually Daisy's allowance came to be
movable and variable quantity, paid
one month and forgotten the next: paid
only in part or postponed when the fam
fly exchequer was low; promised and
evaded, with the best intentions on Les
ter's part, but with the irresponsible at
titude of mind of the impractical man.
