Several months ago a meek. retiring
woman called upon Brigadier Dun
ham, the representative Of the SalXa-
ton Army at Cincinnati. She inform
ed him that she was Mrs. Bradford
Shinkle of Covingtop. She said the
family had decided to give the home
stead to the Salvation Army, to DO
used as q womau's training school.
where domestic science would occupy
first place In the curriculum.
But the quiet woman stipulated that
none of the statuary should be re-
moved, draped or In any way tamper-
ed with. She declared that no MEM
Der OF the family would tolerate any
attempt on the part Of any person
to improve on the work Of the ia
nous sculptors.
Brigadier Durham communicated
the wonderful offer to headquarters
and also the conditions under which
1t was offered. which by this time had
become neighborhood gossip and 1t
was being said that every piece OF
sculpture would suggest evil thoughts
and the gossips pretold terrible things
| for the girls who would coma within
the compass of their malign influence.
