The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-05-15

only the upper portion Of her body could be seen,
many OF the audience thought she was a man. She
sits with her hands resting on her knees, the
knuckles bent downwards; or with one arm over the
back OF the chair she is momentarily mOppng her
face with pocket handkerchief or settling her gold
spectacles, or clearing their glasses When she
bows to, or salutes, an acquaintance, IL is with
distinguished inclination OF the head. When she is
introduced to stranger it is with profound obci-
sance. Her smiles OF recognition, of pride, Of APP
prova, are very pronounced very cordial very brief
The moment passed, the expression is dismissed
though having served its purpose done with for
everand the countenance resumes its wonted gravity
Madame Anneke is one Of the most unmitgated Of the
wOmens rights women, ana have no doubt that she
would look well at the head Of a regiment.
In striking contrast to her are Madame de l'Heri-
court and Mrs. Ernestine L. Rose. The former is a
Frenchwoman, who addresses her audience in
French, and with perspcuity and vivacity which
make one wish she were young and beautiful as
well as talented. Her attire is by means elegant
Indeed it is so dandyish you might think it En-
gish or German. She is addicted to crinoline which
reveals boots and ankles from which the eye of the
observer is kept from being riveted from the
fact that her animated voice rivets the ear,
and you seek an accompaniment TO it in
watching the expressions of her cOuntenance. Her
compeXion is ashen and gllttering. Her eyes are
full, liquid, bright and grey and great deal of her
eoquence is due to the liberal action of her fore

than they would be without it, Madame de rIIeri-
court is an emotional woman. Her hobby is univer-
sal sufiage, and her countenance is momentarily
beaming over recitals of happiness, or drawn down
about the mouth at tales of woe.
Mrs. Ernestine l. Rose is very erect, and, notwith-
standing her petite form and mild, cold blue eyes, is
somewhat termagantish She is a German who
speaks English with singular correctness, and
has identified herself with the womans suffrage
question for thrty-tive years. She is therefore, no
chicken" but must at the lowest calculation be be-
tween fifty and sixty years of age Her thin, greysh
hair is elaborately curled and she usually a
ribbon wreath Of some bright color She likewise in
duges in interesting lisp, and although she speaks
English remarkably WELL she has not yet familariZed
herself with all our little turns of expression She
wants the of the association changed into the
"Woman's Rights Association is witherngly bitter
against Congress, and don't wish to be construed by
them into "a man and brother"
But the time would fail me to tell of Mrs. Liver
more, and Lucy Stone, and Mrs. Norton, and Olive
Logan, and Mrs. f. K. w. Harper, and half-a-dozen
other women whose names are familiar all over the
land to those interested in the female suffrage ques-
tiOn And so close this scandalous and wholly in
defensble letter, with the hope that when they get
the right to vote they will know how to use it.
