so absolutely and partially against women. An unchaste thought in the breast of the man infringed the high law of purity. This teaching of the tender mutual obligations of married life was probably new to many of his hearers. The present style of woman has really been fashioned by man, and is only quasi feminine. Peace meeting at Mystic, Connecticut. Spoke morning and afternoon, best in the morning. The natural unfolding of reform. His purposes will ripen fast --Watts's verse. Providence does not plant so as to gather all its crops in one day. First the flowers, then the fruits, then the golden grain. John Fiske's lecture, first in the course on the theory of Evolution. ... Did not think the lecture a very profitable one, yet we must be willing that our opposites should think and speak out their belief. In the spring of 1872 she went to England, hoping to hold a Woman's Peace Congress in London. She also hoped to found and foster a Woman's Apostolate of Peace. The

chief of the Woman's Department. It was already late when she received the appointment, but she lost no time. Establishing her headquarters at No. 5 Park Street (for many years the home of the Woman's Journal and the New England Woman's Club), she sent out circulars to every State in the Union, asking for exhibits, and appealed to the editors of newspapers all over the country to send women correspondents for a month or more to the Exposition. She called meetings in Boston, New York, Providence, Philadelphia, and Hartford, at all of which she spoke, imploring the women to bestir themselves, and, late as it was, to make an effort to get together a proper showing of women's work for the great Fair. Beside all this, she kept up through the autumn an active correspondence with the Exposition authorities at New Orleans. The Exposition was scheduled to open on the 1st of December: it did actually open on the 16th. She writes:-- A steamer had been chartered to convey thither

g an industrial circle in each State; a woman's industrial convention hereafter; and attending a Suffrage Convention at Providence. Spoke of the divine right, not of kings or people, but of righteousness. Spoke of Ouida's article in the North A, Uncle Sam's Saint Esprit, and did my best, as did all the others. The next day she speaks at a suffrage meeting in Providence, and makes this comment:-- Woman suffrage represents individual right, integral humanity, ideal justice. I spoke ofma in which this gracious prophecy would be realized. In a good talk with Miss Eddy, Miss Sarah J. Eddy, then of Providence, a granddaughter of Francis Jackson. she devises a correspondence and circular to obtain information concerning art clubs throughout the country. I am to draft the circular. She makes an address at the Unitarian Club in Providence. The keynote to this was given me yesterday, by the sight of the people who thronged the popular churches, attracted, in a great me

th no uniting thought. In these last three days, I have hammered upon it, and bettered it, coming in sight of a better vein and to-day, not without prayerful effort, I got it about ready, D. G. To Maud Oak Glen, August 27, 1894. ... An interesting French gentleman has been giving readings at Mrs. Coleman's. He read us Corneille's Cid last evening with much dash and spirit. It is a famous play, but the sentiment is very stilted, like going up a ladder to shave one's self. I was at Providence on Friday to meet a literary club of ladies. I read to them the greater part of my play, Hippolytus, written the summer before Sammy was born, for Edwin Booth. It seemed very ghostly to go back to the ambitions of that time, but the audience, a parlor one, expressed great satisfaction.... I 'fesses that I did attend the Bryant Centenary Festival at Cummington, Mass. I read a poem written for the occasion. Charles Dudley Warner and Charles Eliot Norton were there, and Parke Godwin presi

oor. So here I sit, growly and bad, but obliged to acquiescence in W.'s sentence.... Affect., Muz-wuz. To Maud 241 Beacon Street, June 4, 1897. Dearest dear child, First place, darling, dismiss from your mind the idea that reasonable people to-day believe that the souls of men in the pre-Christian world were condemned and lost. The old religions are generally considered to-day as necessary steps in the religion of the human race, and therefore as part of the plan of a beneficent Providence. The Jews were people of especial religious genius, producing a wonderful religious literature, and Christianity, which came out of Judaism, is, to my belief, the culmination of the religious sense of mankind. But Paul himself says, speaking to the Athenians, that God hath not left himself without a witness, at any time. I was brought up, of course, in the old belief, which I soon dismissed as irreconcilable with any idea of a beneficent Deity. As for the doctrine of regeneration, I t

we have soothed the slumbers of mankind, let us be on hand at their great awakening, to make steadfast the peace of the world! She was glad afterward that she had not gone; but a significant corollary to the matter appears on April 25:-- Providence — a pleasant trip, made possible by dear Laura's departure. (That is, dear Laura knew nothing about it till afterward. How often we recalled the old Quaker's saying to her, It was borne in upon me at an early period that if I told no one wh, as one to be held in dear remembrance; to the visitors, as having left the public a sacred legacy in these schools, which he created with so much labor ), at Faneuil Hall, a meeting about Old Home Week, at the West Newton High School, and at Providence. On the fifth day she was at the Wintergreen Club, answering the question, What is the greatest evil of the present day? --False estimates of values, vehement striving for what hinders rather than helps our spiritual development. After this

still, as you and many of the juniors do. Wishing that I might sometimes see you, believe me Yours with affectionate regard, Julia Ward Howe. Close upon the Birthday came another occasion of the kind which we — in these later years — at once welcomed and deplored. She enjoyed nothing so much as a function, and nothing tired her so much. On June 16, Brown University, her husband's alma mater and her grandfather's, conferred upon her the degree of Doctor of Laws. She went to Providence to receive it in person, and thus describes the commencement exercises to Mrs. Mitchell:-- The ordeal of the Doctorate was rather trying, but was made as easy as possible for me. The venerable old church was well filled, and was quite beautiful. I sat in one of the front pews--two learned people led me to the foot of the platform from which President Faunce, with some laudatory remarks, handed me my diploma, while some third party placed a picturesque hood upon my shoulders. The band
