'MJON, Oct. 3.-(Speclal )-Frederlck : 1' ley, president of the Chicago Play ground association, has Just completed hl investigation of the municipal playgrounds f London l will In a few days leave or Paris. The Chlcagoan's visit to '..on ion Is part of a special mission which he had undertaken at the request of Mayor Huksb of the Illinois metropolis for the purpose of discovering what Europe has to leach America In the way of play cen ters. Hamburg. licrlln, Dresden, Weis baden, Frankfort, Cologne, Paris and Lon don have thus far been vlalted by Mr. 3reeley. and lth a return visit to the tench capital and to the larger cities of Italy bit tour will be complete. He will return to the United States some time in November to lay the results of his Inves tigation before the Chicago authorities. Mr. Greeley today consented to give to the writer who saw him In London a gen eral outline of the lessons of his trip. "No matter where I go," he said, "I find a recognition of the fact that the United States, and especially Chicago, la doing fine work In the way of public play cen ters. In Germany, in particular, I found a lively Interest In Wiiat we had done and what we hoped to do in the future. "In one respect we are far ahead of our Kuropean fellow laborers In the field. The equipment, not only In Chicago, of which 1 know the must about, but of the other leading cities like New York, Is the best In the world. But there our superiority ends. Germany Is ahead of .us In almost every other respect. Their organization and stem ure simply wonderful. Instrncllna In I'lnylng. "For Instance, the daily play time of the children, which is compulsory Just the lame as attendance at school, la scheduled from start, to flulah. . The children are di vided into class.' of twenty or thirty, and sver each la placed two or three instruc tors. These instructors are experts and simply devote their eparo time from their regular pursuits to th.i Instruction of the children, receiving perhaps 60 cents an hour. Under their experienced supervision there. Is no overdoing of any particular fea ture of the various items. "Frequently the exercises In the play centers are varied by walking tours In trie country, sometimes extending over several days. The children are led by one of their older members, called a pioneer, and he taxrka a map of the roa.ls and plans the entire tour. They carry their o.i rations with them and prepare them by the way side whenever possible. One far-reaching result of this training ot the children Is CUtt wiiea the boys leave school they r ready to step right into the army ranks proficient In everything but the technique of war. "One of the most Interesting- experiences of my whole trip was an excursion up the Elbe, from Dresden, with about 1,200 school children. I had an excellent chance of seeing the effect of the German system upon the physical side of the child and it proved an eye-opener for me. Among those thousand and more children I was able to .find only two who wore glasses, and the great majority of them were fine, healthy-looklnt? children, large and strong beyond their years. Cities Lack Playgronmds. "England is progressing In Us provisions for children, but It Is still behind the United States. For Instance, at Battersea and, Hampstead I found some fine play grounds, but In the congested parts of the tlly, where such open sp ies are a ma ter of almost life and death to the little chil dren, they are conspicuous by their ab sence. The result was that I found the London children undt raised and ekkly and immeasurably inferior to the German. "One feature of the English municipal ac tivity that struck me as a good exampld for uur Ann r can cities Is the public swlm ni ng baths which are to ba found evcry whtre In Indon. Another good feaiure Is the publlo laundtlos, where the poor might titko their week's clothes and for a very small fee have the ubs of hot water, tubs and mangling boards. "In Paris I discovered that although they had many fine open spacts and parka there was practically no organised attempt to provide play centers for the children or to attract the little ones to the parks. "My trip has taught me that what we neej in the United States Is a better or ganisations and more system. . When we have that, comb m-d with our determina tion and our Kent toslty, I do not think lha. any oth-r country in the' worlct will show u the way In providing for the children of the schools."

TI1I4 iloaeo lie froceeJlngs for the day. Oevtflttud Piain Dvtr. LONDON', Oct 3. (Special.) "Luor.B Cleeve," otherwise Mrs. Adeline Ocorgianria Isabel Klngscote, who has Just died at Chateau d'Oex, Switzerland, besides being the author of a number of startling novels, had the distinction of leading a particu larly "lurid" career. All her life seemed a series of adventures, mostly connected with financial affairs, but occasionally de scending into tlxo realms of strong "human Interest." Rome years ago she toured America and. lectured on the "Position of Women In the Victorian Era," but her lec ture did not interest the American publlo one-quarter aa much as her startling "so ciety" adventures. Everywhere she went she "made things hum," and while she was In the United States the newspapers grave "Lucas Cleeve" no end of "space." Mrs Klngscote possessed what all her friends describe aa a wonderful fascinat ing manner, and her eyes had almost i.yp notio power. She was able, during her life, to borrow enormous sums of money from various persons on the strength of her Impelling personality, but, unfortunately, It was owing to these money troubles that she experienced some of her most dls- agreeable life-entanglements. Her hus band. Colonel Howard Klngscote, was often "mixed up" In her law suits against the money lenders. Aa the daughter of the distinguished general. Sir Henry Drum mond Wolff, who was once British ambas sador to Madrid, and who figured promi nently In politic as the friend and stand by of Lord Randolph Churchill, she moved la the very highest of "high society" and her social position enabled her to weather many storms which, perhapa, a less promi nent person would have gone down under. Sixty Per Cent Interest. For instance, her financial embarrass ments caused her to put into circulation a forged promissory note for $100,000, but her counsel. Sir George Lewis, defended her on the ground that, at the time, rnoney lender was charging "Lucas Cleeve" 60 per cent Interest on a loan. This was In IK. The caae attracted an enormous amount of attention at the time. Lord Byron lent Mrs. Klngscote sums of money on the strength of her statement that she had a reversionary Interest in property worth SSSO.ono. and that a relative had sold the American government an In vention for n.6u0.KO. This relative, so she Informed Lord Byron, would be responsi ble for her debts. A Church of England rlerryman also lent large sums of money to her and succeeded In borrowing a lot ot money for her. A law suit subse quently arose over this affair, and some interesting correspondence was published. Among other letters the following from Mrs. Klngscote is characteristic: "I am too distressed about the trouble you had yesterday. These men are really monsters. Between you and me, I hope you will succeed In making them do the old bills, as I don't want Byron to know of that money, as I want to use it en tirely to take up little matters of yours and mine. Will you like a dear, try and pull it off, or else tell the man I am go ing to Paris, and it must be concluded at three tomorrow afternoon. Thanking you a million times for all your trouble.'" When this case passed through the Ox ford bankruptcy court, the roslster characterized some of "Lucas ' Cleeve's" letters to the clergyman from whom fclie had borrowed such large sums aa "lti credlably cruel." Among other things, the author complained that she had not received all of the 75,000 which had been "raised."' Weddins to Escape Bankruptcy. While "Lucas Cleeve" was always In "hot water," and Ko'ig through law courta over money matters, one of her most aston ishing adventures was in an other direction altogether. It setms that her own money troubles were mote or less "contagious," as her Klster-ln-law', Mrs. Marie Stephanie Drummond Wolff, found horsclf on the verge of bankruptcy In 1MI. Mrs Klng scote concieved a plan for 'saving the situation" and h r sister from the bank ruptcy court, by persuading a wealthy army man, M,i'or Adams, to marry Mrs. Drummond Vv'olff. The qulxotlcal and chivalrous Major, saw his would-be-bride on Nov. 1, iftiM, 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 wedded uio anclal) bliss the Major obtained a divorce from his Impecunious wife. Judge Buck nill, before whom these proceedings came, alluded to the wedding as altogether "quixotic, but not Inconsistent with the honor of an English gentleman," It Is doubtful If any of the characters In "Lucas Cleeve's" widely circulated noveU even went through half the "trials" which the author herself experienced. Not loug ago, she was asked to give a biographic! sketch of her life. She said that her education had begun and ended In "th school for schandai," and In "Who's who," she alluded to herself aj leading a "che quered and varied career." She was a great traveller and linguist; and there are few portions of the globe which she does not describe from personal experience lr one or other of her books. She wrote "Tales of the Sun." "The English Baby In India," "The Woman Who Wouldn't." "The Monks of the Holy Tear," "Blue Lilies," "Eileen" and many other novels Though the Income derived from her lit erary work must have been considerable It does not seem to have been ever suf ficient to meet her demands, and the money-lenders, like the poor, were "always with her."
