rds for Bok, on some aspect of the American woman. She went to Boston for the opening of the Mechanics' Fair, and sat beside Phillips Brooks in the great hall. They will not hear us! she said. No, replied Brooks. This is the place where little children are seen and not heard. Mayor Hart backed up the Tariff while I praised Free Trade. My text was two words of God: Use and Beauty. My brief address was written carefully though hastily. There was no neighborly electric road in Rhode Island in those days, and the comings and goings were fatiguing. A hard day.... The rain was pitiless, and I in my best clothes, and without rubbers. Embraced a chance of driving to the Perry House, where ... it was cold and dark. I found a disconsolate couple from Schenectady who had come to Newport for a day's pleasuring. Did my best to entertain them, walking about the while to keep warm. She got home finally, and the day ends with her ordering a warm mash for the horse. This hors

er gentleman, a man more of society than himself, and we and Mrs. Campbell played whist. We were quite gay all day. In the evening a sad, elderly man whom I had observed, came over and showed me his wife's photograph as she had looked in health, and then a photograph of her in her last illness; he holding her up in his arms. He said he was travelling to help his sorrow. At Reading my two whist gentlemen cried out, Tamales! and rushed out. They presently returned, bringing some curious Mexican eatables, corn meal with chicken and red peppers rolled in corn leaves. These folk all left at Sacramento at three in the morning. California was once more her goal. This second visit was brief and hurried. Hurry, scurry to dress for the Forefathers' Day celebration. Oakley was my squire. I was taken down to dinner by Professor Moore, President of the occasion. ... I was suddenly and unexpectedly called for, and all were requested to rise, which was a great honor done me. I spoke

Howe, said the Autocrat, you at seventy have much to learn about life. At eighty you will find new vistas opening in every direction! Ten years later she was reminded of this. It is true! she said. At parting he kissed her, which touched her deeply. He was in another mood when they met at a reception shortly after this. Ah! Mrs. Howe, he said, you see I still hang on as one of the old wrecks! Yes, you are indeed Rex was the reply. Then, Madam, he cried with a flash, you are Regina! To return to the birthday Here are a few of the letters received:-- From George William Curtis West New Brighton, Staten Island, N. Y., May 9, 1889. My dear Mrs. Elliott, I shall still be too lame to venture so far away from home as your kind invitation tempts me to stray, but no words of my regard and admiration for Mrs. Howe will ever limp and linger. I doubt if among the hosts who will offer their homage upon her accession to the years of a ripe youth there will be many earlier

the Philistines. People now do their own dancing and their own fooling: some of it very dull. Query: What ancient jests have been preserved? The Fools of old and of all time would not be a bad title. In October came the Woman's Congress in Denver; she was there, attending all meetings and sessions. Mrs.----.'s paper on The Redemptive Power of Art was very so-so, and did not touch my conception of the theme, viz., art made valuable for the reform of criminals. I spoke of this with warmth. After the Congress the visiting ladies enjoyed a drive about the city of Denver. I went early to the High School with A. A. B. The Reverend Antoinette Blackwell. Found Mrs. Cheney speaking to the pupils assembled. She did not notice our entrance and spoke of me very warmly. Presently, turning round, she saw us and we all laughed. I spoke to them of my drink of youth ; compared the spirits of youth to steam given to carry them on a celestial railroad; compared youth to wine in a bea

icles with indignation. Fortunately the deed was discovered in time. She was always thoughtful of animals. During the reign at 241 Beacon Street of the little fox-terrier Patch, it often fell to her lot to take him out to walk, and she felt this a grave responsibility. One day Patch ran away on Beacon Street, and would not come back when she called him. At this instant Dr. Holmes, passing, paused for a friendly greeting. Mrs. Howe, he said, I trust this fine morning-- Catch the dog! cried Mrs. Howe. One author flew one way, one the other; between the two Patch was caught and brought in triumph home. One dog story recalls another. She was in the North Station one day, about to start for Gardiner, as was also the setter Diana, crated and very unhappy. Here, Auntie! said the baggage-master; you set here and be company for the dog, and I'll get your check! She complied meekly, and was found somewhat later by her escort, being company for a much-comforted Diana.

A delicate young woman was travelling with her father, a boy of five years, and a semi-friend, semihelp, not much of either. This party sat opposite me in the Pullman, and soon made acquaintance. She is going for her health from Tacoma to California. An odd-looking genius, something like---in his youth, got in somewhere and attracted my attention by his restless manner. I took him for no good; a gambler, perhaps. He seemed to notice me a good deal.... Made acquaintance with the odd-o whist gentlemen cried out, Tamales! and rushed out.

When she finally got to Newport, she was dazed with the quiet after the strain of heart and fatigue. The ministry was much in her mind this summer. I take for my guidance a new motto: I will ascend ; not in my ambition, but in my thoughts and aims. A dry Sunday, i.e., no church, it being the women's turn to go. I shelled peas for dinner. Began Rambaud's History of Russia. ... I think of two sermons to write, one, A spirit of Power ; one, Behold, I show you a more excellent way. Suffrage had its meed too in these summer days. Have copied my Call for the Congress. In my coming suffrage talks will invite women to study the history of their sex in the past, and its destiny in the future; inertia and ignorance are the great dangers of society. The old condition of women largely increased instead of diminishing these sources of evil. The women were purpos

She enjoyed the visit to the prison and was thankful for it. A few days later, at a meeting in Newport, she heard a lady demand that the children of genius should be set apart from others for special education and encourageving to the Perry House, where ... it was cold and dark.
