avi was the general answer. And she's pop'lar, she is. Little fourteen-year-olds keep a-coming and a-coming. And I draws her bath, and tucks her up in bed. And she's having a splendid time. And I want some more of this paper. And my feelings won't allow me to say any more. No — my dearest sweetest pug pie, your darling won't be forgotten for a moment. We could n't get at the lessons before, and last week, like strong drink, was raging. 'fectionate Ma. Maud was now engaged to John Elliott, a young Scottish painter, whose acquaintance they had made in Europe in 1878. The marriage took place on February 7, 1887. Though there were many periods of separation, the Elliotts, when in this country, made their home for the most part with our mother. The affection between her and her son-in-law was deep; his devotion to her constant. Through the years that were to follow, the comradeship of the three was hardly less intimate than that of the two had been. The Journal carries

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 friends than I, and certainly there will be none who have watched her career with more sympathy in her varied and humane activities. Poet, scholar, philanthropist, and advo

this summer to intercede with Queen Victoria for the Armenians. I thought of it, but the plan seemed to me chimerical and futile. I still have them and the Cretans greatly at heart, but I don't think I could do any good in the way just mentioned. I should have been glad to make a great sacrifice for these persecuted people, but common sense must be adhered to, in all circumstances. ... To the same 241 Beacon Street, April 18, 1896. ... If you go to Russia, be careful to go as Mrs. John Elliott, not as Maud Howe Elliott. Your name is probably known there as one of the friends of Free Russia, and you might be subjected to some annoyance in consequence. You had better make acquaintance with our minister, whoever he may be. The Russians seem now to have joined hands with the Turks. If the American missionaries can only be got rid of, Russia, it is said, will take Armenia under her so-called protection, and will compel all Christians to join the Greek Church. There is so much

ily, and, as always, our mother read and corrected the galley-proofs. She did this with exquisite care and thoughtfulness, never making her suggestions on the proof itself, but on a separate sheet of paper, with the number of the galley, the phrase, and her suggested emendations. This was her invariable custom: the writer must be perfectly free to retain her own phrase, if she preferred it. Walking tired her that summer, but she was very faithful about it. Zacko, she would command John Elliott, take me for a walk. The day before she took to her bed, he remembers that she clung to him more than usual and said,-- It tires me very much. (This after walking twice round the piazza.) Once more he encouraged. No-I have walked all I can to-day. Let me take you back to your room this way, he said, leading her back by the piazza. That makes five times each way! She laughed and was pleased to have done this, but he thinks she had a great sense of weakness too. Her f
