Indeed, his power in the graphic personal delineations of those about him was almost always visible, as where he called Garrison a phrenological head illuminated, or said of Wendell Phillips, Many are the friends of his golden tongue. This quality I never felt more, perhaps, than when he once said, when dining with me at the house of James T. Fields, in 1862, and speakinbegan in the winter of 1853-54, and he returned in February, 1854. He was to give a series of talks on the representative minds of New England, with the circle of followers surrounding each; the subjects of his discourse being Webster, Greeley, Garrison, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker, Greenough, and Emerson; the separate themes being thus stated as seven, and the number of conversations as only six.

But there was also Lucy Stone, who had long been the object of imaginary disapproval; and yet Mrs. Howe, like every one else who heard Lucy Stone's sweet voice for the first time, was charmed aned with great ability, organizing a series of short talks on the exhibits, to be given by experts. While in charge of this, she held a special meeting in the colored people's department, where the Battle hymn was sung, and she spoke to them of Garrison, Sumner, and Dr. Howe. Her daughter's collection of books written by women was presented to the Ladies' Art Association of New Orleans, and her whole enterprise was a singular triumph.
