At a time when Southern girl barely knew that a collegiate course wa open to women, she went to Vassar.

Now this would not cause a remark, but In 1868 Vassar was reputed to rive "notions." and a girl who took Its course was "peculiar."

She is a natural radical in her thinking, and would be, no matter how narrow her surroundings.

Vermont, and her maiden names was Lucinda Hinsdale. Early In life she evinced remarkable precociousness and advanced so rapidly in her studies that she was soon considered a promising pupil In Latin. Greek and French.

She taught in seminaries and the subsequent wife of Jefferson Davis was at one time under her tutorship. She was eager for a much broader education, but the circumstances were such that this craving could not be satisfied In her youth. It was In 1840 that she married the Rev. J. A.

B. Stone, who waa then pastor of a Baptist church In Gloucester. and has since died. He became tbe first President of the Kalamazoo College and he the principal of the Ladies' Department. Tourist classes were organized and Mrs.

Stone had the advantage of many turs embracing parts of Europe. Egypt. Syria and Palestine, and was the first woman to inaugurate this broader system of education. Advanced years have not diminished her ardor and she has of late years conducted history and art classes as well as riving time to the orennls-ition of women's club over her MRS. WILBUR SMITH.

P. Ellen C. Semple. of Louisville, haa Semple, been chosen to represent the department of social economics at the evening meeting of the General Federation of Women's Clubs to be held at Macauley's Theater Friday. May 9.

The title of the address which she will give on this occasion Is a quotation from Glddlngs. Civilisation la at Bottom an Economic Fact." Miss Semple Is eminently well fitted to speak upon a question of social science, for she has devoted years of study to sociology and political economy, and haa given excellent courses of lectures upon these subjects. After attaining the degree Of M. A. from Vaasar College, ahe went to the University of Lelpsic where, for fifteen months, she spent fifteen hours a week upon lectures In political science and three hours In the seminar, standing these quizzes equally with the men who composed the rest of the class.

She did not receive a degree from this university simply because such an honor la not accorded to women: but ahe enjoyed all other advantages, among them that of seminar work under Prof. William Roscher. the most profound economist of his time. She la a thorough German scholar and Is at present engaged In translating from the German a work upon "Political Geography aa a Science." by Prof. Friederlch RatxeL of the Leipsic University.

Miss Semple la a member of the Louisville Women's Club and la chairman for the years 1S9-1S? of the department of economics. In the coming biennial Miss meeting of Women's Mary Clubs. Kentucky will Lafon. have no reason to blush for Its it prtsenta trees. Kentuckiavns have always been "clubbable." and their women In this recent rapid movement for organisation and co-operation among- them have proven to the the rule.

ynnwn'i clabs of Kentucky, in spite or we seriousness and earnestness of their purposes and work, have drawn into their membership not merely the philanthropic and the literary and the lovers of art and music, but the leaders of society as well. One of the original charter members of the Women's Club of Louisville and Ita first Vice President was Miss Mary Lafon. She Is at the head to-day of the various committees who are preparing for the reception of the Federation. She was born In the Bluerrass of Kentucky and much of her childhood waa spent upon her father's beautiful farm, known as "Fountain House." In Jessamine county. When she removed with her mother to make her home In Louisville.

In the bloom of a youthful beauty that distinguished her even In State noted for the beauty and highbred grace of Its women, one might have predicted for her a Bfe given up to gayety and social success. Of Huguenot blood on her father's side, as her name suggests, she had inherited the qualities which make the social charm of the best women of Franc. But she had another and more Important gift that which the author of "Ecce Homo" entitles, the enthusiasm of humanity. It changed the whole current of her life and she has lived not for herself, but for others. Miss Lafon was for many year President of the Louisville Presbyterian Orphans' Home and ah has been active in tbe organisattoa and support of local kindergarten work.

Her love for children culminated In that of which, doubtless, she is most proud and of which she may property be called tbe founder, the Children's Free Hospital, on of Louisville's most successful and must useful charities. Possibly no woman has a wider clrrle of ardent lovers and supporters. The catholicity of her taste Is remarkable and she seem to give to literature, to art and to musks only less time and attention than she give to religion and philanthropy. Her Intimate friends are readiest to echo with entire sincerity the a member of tbe New Hampshire m-mlssion to the Atlanta Exposition. a Mrs.

She holds also, by appointment of the Governor, tbe office of Stat Inspector of Factories and Workshops. Much of her pen-work of late year ha been devoted to economic subjects.

Ohio, from which Institution she was graduated In June of 1865. Returning to Paris ah taught for four years in the public schools of thst city. In 1872 she moved to Lexington. and became the principaisef a successful school for boys and girls. Going to Philadelphia she studied the Kindergarten system under sueh teachers as Ruth Burritt and Elisabeth Pea body, who had charge of the kindergarten In the annex of the Woman' building at the Centennial.

She took her degree In tbe school in July, 1877. and upon her return to Lexington opened a kindergarten in connection with her school, thus becoming the pioneer in Kentucky In a system of teaching that la now the indispensable adjunct of every educational institution for the young. After sixteen years in the school-room she was married. June 8, 1887. to C.

P. Barnes, of Louisville. Mr. Barnes was the senior partner and founder in 1858 of one of the oldest firms in Louisville. A recapitulation of the work in which Mrs.

Barnes has been engaged since her residence In Louisville began, will show the extent of her usefulness to her fellow-citizens. She organised the Monday Afternoon Circle of young women for tbe study of American literature and current events, and kept them together so well that this circle is now a club belonging to the Kentucky State Federation of Clubs, and also tbe General Federation. Mrs. Barnes was the first Recording Secretary of the Louisville Free Kindergarten Association, and in connection with this association did a great deal of valuable work. For six years she was a members of tbe Louisville Training School for Nurses.

After serving as chairman of the House Committee of this institution, she became Its President and. later its Treasurer. The reputation that tne Trainingooacoj Vm closed? by tbe city authorities. Is due almost en tirely to Mrs. Barnes untiring efforts its behalf.
