My head was dressed at eleven. All my children were here, with daughter-and sons-in-law. I had many lovely gifts. The house was like a garden of costly flowers. Breakfast was at 12.30; was in very good style. Guests: General Walker, John S. Dwight, E. E. Hale, Mrs. Jack Gardner, Mmes. Bell, Pratt, and Agassiz. Walker made the first speech at the table, H. M. H. Henry Marion Howe. being toastmaster. Walker seemed to speak very feelingly, calling me the first citizeness of the country; stood silent a little and sat down. Dwight read a delightful poem; Hale left too soon to do anything. H. introduced J. S. D. thus: Sweetness and light, your name is Dwight.

owe, 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 wly sorry that only in this inadequate way can I join my voice to the chorus of friendly rejoicing and congratulation on the happy day, which reminds us only of the perpetual youth of the warm heart and the sound mind. Very truly yours, George William Curtis. From W. W. Story My Dear Julia, (I suppose I may still call you so — we are both so young and inexperienced) I cannot let this anniversary of your birth go by, without stretching out my hands to you across the ocean, and throwing

She avoided the Symphony Concerts at which the new music was exploited; but it was positive pain to her to miss a symphony of Beethoven or Schubert. In March of this year the Saturday Morning Club of Boston gave a performance of the Antigone of Sophocles. In afternoon to the second representation of the Antigone. . . . On the whole very pathetic and powerful. Mrs. Tilden full of dramatic fire; Sally Fairchild ideally beautiful in dress, attitude, and expression. The whole a high feast of beauty and of poetry. The male parts wonderfully illusive, especially that of Tiresias, the seer.... To Laura 241 Beacon Street, Boston, April 26, 1890. I'se very sorry for unhandsome neglect complained of in your last. What are we going to do about it? I have now and then made efforts to reclaim the old Party, but have long considered her incorrigible. What sh

eated and constantly re-created by the thought of the will of God. The phrase is common enough: the thought, vast beyond human conception. When her head was clear; she studied the great theologian eagerly, copying many passages for more complete assimilation. September brought alarums and excursions. Awoke and sprang at once into the worry saddle. Another Congress was coming, another A. A.W. paper to be written, beside an opening address for the Mechanics' Fair, and 1500 words 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

able, which she has undertaken, having nothing to do. This is for the Vincent Fair, which will take place on Tuesday, 29th.... Have got a few lovely books from Libbie's sale of the Hart collection -among other things, a fine French edition of Les Miserables, which I am at last glad never to have read, as I shall enjoy it, D. V., in some of the long reading days of summer.... Your ownty donty Ma. P. S. Before the Libbie sale I wickedly bid $25 upon a small but very precious missal. It bre order all the tasks undertaken for this summer; so attacked the Kappa poem and wrote at a stretch twenty-two verses, of four lines each, which was pretty much my day's work. Read in Martineau, in J. F. C., a little Greek, and the miserable Les Miserables. She decided to hold some conversations in the Unitarian parsonage, and wrote out the following topics for them:-- Useful undertakings in this city as existing and needed. How to promote public spirit in American men and women. Ho

inishing these sources of evil. The women were purposely kept ignorant, in order that they might be enslaved and degraded. Inertia is largely fostered by the paralysis of independent action ... I feel just now that we ought to try hard to have all the Far West represented at the Denver Congress. Thought a book or article about Fooleries would be entertaining and instructive. The need of this element in human society is shown by the ancient jesters and court fools. ... In Bible times Samson made sport for 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

It seemed to me like broken china, no complete chord; no perfect result; no architectonic. She never learned to like what was in those days the new music. Wagner and Brahms were anathema to her, as to many another music-lover of her time, notably John Sullivan Dwight, long-time Boston's chief musical critic. Many a sympathetic talk they had together; one can see him now, his eyes burning gentle fire, head nodding, hands waving, as he denounced what seemed to him wanton cacophony.

my young friend, I'm writing. But alas, I can't be there to take a glass with you. You say, if there be no obstacle. No less than a couple of thousand miles of water, harder to get over than the years themselves, which indeed get behind more swiftly than they ought. I can at least wish you many happy returns of the day and will drink to your health on the 27th. I sail on the 18th. Pray accept my thanks and regrets and make them acceptable to your children. Faithfully yours, James Russell Lowell. The Journal thus notes the occasion. My seventieth birthday. A very busy day for all of us.... My head was dressed at eleven.
