Miss Anthony is63 years old and a very
nice old lady she is She has thin face
and the general thinness which belongs to
her years, but she is sprightly and active
whenever she doesn't wear her rubbers
which are invariably too large. She looks
at one as through glass, darkly. when she
employs merely the naked eye; but when
she wears actual spectacles her gaze is pen
Grating, especially II the gaze is several
degrees above the optical assistance, and
, the latter peacefully rests on her some
what sharp though pleasing gentle nose.
She has narrow forehead The lines that
age has brought to her thin face are not
more peculiar than those which belong to
any woman 63 years old. Her chin is
! not prominent and in fact, sug-
gests gentleness more than force. Her
cheeks run down to her chin " ithout the
amplitude that would indicate that they

with some velocity. She has pair of good
gray eyes, and they look honest without

We remember Miss Anthony as she looked
thirty years ago, when to mention the DO
litical rights OF women was to invite all
manner Of ridicule; and she looked as old

now. About that time Mrs. Stanton made
her first and last appearance in tho drcs:
