NEW YORK, July 27.-It took
1 ' a World war and revolu-
ton to get Elvy Kalep the thing
she wanted most in the world
an air pilots license. The girlish
Esthon.an fiier, who is here pre-
pairing for a transatlantic fight
to Athens in August with Roger
@. Williams as co-pilot Of her
plane, said today that she still
might have been on terra firma
in her native land if the demoli-
ton of her home had not resulted
in sending her to Germany to live,
before the Republic of Esthonia
emerged from the chaos of war.
Il always was a tomboy," said
Miss Kalep in her perfect British
governess English. I have hated
dolls and loved to build things
that broke up my mothers furni-
ture, and how I longed to see
the lands I studied in my geo.
graphy! Well, I have. All but
Australia, and next month I shall
have a good look at the Atlantic
ocean, too, en- route to Greece.
Il love adventurous sports.
When 1 took to the air in Ger
many I knew that there never
would be such a thrill as plotting
my own plane.

and when I returned to my
Esthonian home, less than a day
away from Petrograd, I was elig-
ible for a pilots license, and they
gave 1t to me, the first civil license
issued in the republic. 1t is still
the only one issued to a woman"

her friend Amelia Earhart, and

Pilgrimage of Old Gardens
In Virginia In April.

Ninety-eight Of the oldest and most
beautiful of the many historic estates
of Virginia are to be opened for public
touring and inspecting the week of
April $3.50 for the benefit of the fund
being raised in the Old Dominion for
the restoration of Stratford Hall, an
cestral home Of the Lee family, birth
place of two signers of the Declaration
of Independence, Francis Eightfoot Lee
and Gen. Lighthouse Harry Lee, and
also of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander
in chief of the Confederate armies.
1t will be Garden week" in the
old land of romantic charm, cordial
hospitality and historic associations
identified with every war in which the
United States has had part, and it
is being sponsored by the Garden Club
of Virginia, with Mrs. Thomas w.
Wheelwright as chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of arrangements. BY
that time the well kept grounds and
gardens of these lovely old estates will
be in the pink of condition. They are
for the most part owned by people Of
wealth and social prominence, who have
taken a patriotic pride in restoring
many homes that had been neglected.
They are, as a rule, easily accessible
over modern paved roads which now
traverse the State. Only recently the
Garden Club of Virginia presented to
the Kenmore Association the beautifully
restored grounds and garden of the
home of Washington's only sister, Betty
Lewis, at Fredericksburg, on which they
spent over $4,000 in improvements
Now the same organization has un-
dertaken the restoration of the Lee
home with equal interest. Still others
are in prospect.
Many of the historic old places to be
opened can be seen by the public only
during this period. They contain
wealth of rare antiques. Included are
some along the James River, others
overlooking the Rappahannock, still 9TH
erS further inland, end a number in
that section of &C shenandoah Valley
