ryday life could not fail to bring about a corresponding drop in our mother's mental barometer. Vexations awaited her. The Boylston Place house had been let for a year, and — Green Peace being also let on a long lease — the reunited family took refuge for the winter in the Doctor's wing of the Perkins Institution. Again, an extremely unfavorable critique of Later Lyrics in a prominent review distressed her greatly; her health was more or less disturbed; above all, the sudden death of John A. Andrew, the beloved and honored friend of many years, saddened both her and the Doctor deeply. All these things affected her spirits to some extent, so that the Journal for the remainder of 1867 is in a minor key. ... In despair about the house.... On hearing of the separation of Charles Sumner from his wife:-- For men and women to come together is nature — for them to live together is art — to live well, high art. November 21.

on was the general sense of the dignity of human character and of its affinity with things divine, which always gave the master tone to the discussions. She says elsewhere of the Radical Club:-- The really radical feature in it was the fact that the thoughts presented at its meetings had a root; were in that sense radical.... Here I have heard Wendell Phillips, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, John Weiss and James Freeman Clarke, Athanase Coquerel, the noble French Protestant preacher; William Henry Channing, worthy nephew of his great uncle; Colonel Higginson, Doctor Bartol, and many others. Extravagant things were sometimes said, no doubt, and the equilibrium of ordinary persuasion was not infrequently disturbed for a time. But the satisfaction of those present when a sound basis of thought was vindicated and established is indeed pleasant in remembrance.... To Dickens's second reading, which I enjoyed very much. The wreck in David Copperfield was finely given. His appearance is

Any lack of strenuousness about the Cretan Fair was amply atoned for. An Appeal was published, written by her and signed by Julia Ward Howe, Emily Talbot, Sarah E. Lawrence, Caroline A. Mudge, and Abby W. May. What shall we say? They are a gher and the Doctor. She could not give up her studies; the entries for the winter of 1867-68 are a curious mingling of Fichte and committees, with here and there a prayer for spiritual help and guidance, which shows her overwrought condition. Airing help, most of them getting it; yet, as ever, the father leaving State Charities and Reforms, the mother flying from Fichte or Xenophon, at any real or fancied need of any child. It is thus that we love to think of No. 32 Mount Vernon Street, t
t the Parkerian standard, or a similar one, has deformed his reasoning powers. He seeks something better than Christianity without having half penetrated the inner significance of that religion. Alcott spoke in the idealistic direction. Also Wasson very well. Lucretia Mott exceptionally well, a little rambling, but with true womanly intuitions of taste and of morality. This association of thinkers was afterwards known as the Boston Radical Club. She has much to say about it in her Remie to read Doubt and Belief, so I chose this and read it. I find my daemon justified. It seemed to have a certain fitness in calling forth discussion. Mr. Emerson first spoke very beautifully, then Mr. Alcott, these two sympathizing in my view. Wasson followed, a little off, but with a very friendly contrast. . . . Much of this talk was very interesting. It was all marked by power and sincerity, but Emerson and Alcott understood my essay better than the others except J. F. C. I introduced Ana

tee on Cretan Fair.... Felt overcome with fatigue, and nervous and fretful, but I am quite sure that I do not rave as I used to do.... January 26. Some mental troubles have ended in a determination to hold fast till death the liberty wherewith Christ has made me free. The joyous belief that his doctrine of influences can keep me from all that I should most greatly dread, lifts me up like a pair of strong wings. I shall run and not be weary. I shall walk and not faint. At church the firste as the true bond of society, which lifted my weak soul as on the strong wings of a cherub. The immortal truths easily lost sight of in our everyday weakness and passion stood out to-day so strong and clear that I felt their healing power as if Christ had stood and touched my blinded eyes with his divine finger. So be it always! Esto perpetual On April 13 the fair opened; a breathless week followed. She was much exhausted after it, but in a few days began to rehearse for Festival. The

gan to receive invitations to read and speak in public. Mr. Emerson wrote to her concerning her philosophical readings: The scheme is excellent — to read thus — so new and rare, yet so grateful to all parties. It costs genius to invent our simplest pleasures. The winter of 1867-68 saw the birth of another institution which was to be of lifelong interest to her: the New England Woman's Club. This, one of the earliest of women's clubs, was organized on February 16, 1868, with Mrs. Caroline M. Severance, in whose mind the idea had first taken shape, as president. Its constitution announces the objects of the association as primarily, to furnish a quiet, central restingplace, and place of meeting in Boston, for the comfort and convenience of its members: and ultimately to become an organized social centre for united thought and action. How far the second clause has outdone and outshone the first, is known to all who know anything of the history of women's clubs. From the New E

gh about the Cretan Fair.... Any lack of strenuousness about the Cretan Fair was amply atoned for. An Appeal was published, written by her and signed by Julia Ward Howe, Emily Talbot, Sarah E. Lawrence, Caroline A. Mudge, and Abby W. May. What shall we say? They are a great way off, but they are starving and perishing, asice-president. She was also president of the Massachusetts State Federation from 1893 to 1898, and thereafter honorary president Dr. Holmes once said to her, Mrs. Howe, I consider you eminently clubable ; and he added that he himself was not. He told us why, when he adopted the title of Autocrat of the breakfast-table. The moson the Roman Pincio; at eighteen he was filling the breasts of the college authorities with the same emotions inspired by his father in the previous generation. Howe, said the old President of Brown University, when the Chevalier called to pay his respects on his return from Greece, I am afraid of you now! There may be a fire-

In the women's clubs I found the immense power which sympathy exercises in bringing out the best aspirations of the woman nature.... To guard against dangers, we must do our utmost to uphold and keep in view the high object which has, in the first instance, called us together; and let this be no mere party catchword or cry, as East against West, or North against South. We can afford to meet as citizens of one common country, and to love and serve the whole as one. She believed firmly in maintaining the privacy of club life. The club is a larger home, she said, and we wish to have the immunities and defences of home; therefore we do not wish the public present, even by its attorney, the reporter. The three following years were important ones to the Howe family. Lawton's Valley was sold, to our great and lasting grief: and

egins with the fact of accepting human life. In November came a new interest which was to mean much to her. Early in town to attend the Free Religious Club. Weiss's essay was well written, but encumbered with illustrations rarely pertinent. It was neither religion, philosophy, nor cosmology, but a confusion of all three, shtural to the exclusion of the supernatural. Being invited to speak, I suggested real and ideal as a better antithesis for thought than natural and supernatural. Weiss did all that his method would allow. He is a man of parts. I cannot determine how much, but the Parkerian standard, or a similar one, has deformed his reasoning s the fact that the thoughts presented at its meetings had a root; were in that sense radical....

and not be weary. I shall walk and not faint. At church the first hymn contained this line:-- Her fathers' God before her moved which quite impressed me, for my father's piety and the excellence of other departed relatives have always of late years been a support and pledge to me of my own good behavior. The thief's heart, the wanton's brow, may accompany high talent and geniality of temperament; but thanks be to God they need not. . .. Wished I could make a fine poetic picture of Paul preaching at Mars Hill. On the one side, the glittering statues and brilliant mythology — on the other, the simplicity of the Christian life and doctrine. But to-day no pictures came. Got Anagnos to help me read two odes of Anacreon. This was a great pleasure. Much business — no Greek lesson. I was feeble in mind and body, and brooded over the loss of the lesson in a silly manner. Habit is to me not second, but first nature, and I easily become mechanical and fixed in my routine. .
