seauently she did accept the bust OF
herself and paid s4O0 for IL Once more
moneyless Miss Johnson opened a
school of art. in connection with which
she teaches the Delsarte system of phi.
losopby. She also holds a position in
one of the departments and in the ca.
! pacities of clerk and teacher works
nineteen hours day. She lives entire.
ly alone in a small house on street.
where she carries ont many peculiar
ideas of life. Her house is now in sum-
| mer garb, the ~alls covered from cell
ing to floor with white cheese cloth
gathered and fluted into soft back
ground for the few pictures and carved
cabinets artistically disposed. Filmy
white curtains are looped back from the
| windows, in one of which hangs bird
cage, in another a globe of water for Q
growing vine. A white-draped table
and couch and few white-painted
chairs with rack for photographs con-
stitute the furniture of the studio. Here
Miss johnson lives her eccentric life,
| eating almost nothing (never any meatl
| and enjoying her enthusiasms with lit
tie hindrance. She is what people call a
theosophist. and is a firm believer in and
practicer of Christian science, which,
she AYERS, has utterly eradicated all
traces of the results of her fall down
the elevator shaft in Chicago. She also
declares that her Christian science has
restored her eyes, which at one time
| were in a fair way to lose their sight.
Since Miss Shaw, the president, will be

| Miss Lucy Anthony, the youngest OF
| the Seven, is the daughter of Captain
j. NJ. Anthony, of Fort Scott, Kan, the
youngest brother of the grand old wom-
| an" and as the young lady's education
has been directed entirely by Aunt Susan
| she is not only one of the most devoted
of the illustrious spinster's disciples, but
is in training to wear the mantle as she
| bears the name of that remarkable
woman. She is as thoroughly acquaint-

| sociation as her aunt is, and, since this
| business is done with few accountings,
and nobody else knows much Of the de-
tails of it, Miss Lucy is likely to be
earnest in the work of raising her fell
low-women to what she sincerely be-
lieves is their right and proper sphere Of
action.
Miss Fanny Norris Edwards is clerk
in the Pension-office. 81 was born in
Ohio" she says, ''and brought up in the
Pension-office." She was very young
when she entered this Office at a salary
of S4OO year. She now receives 81, 200,
which is tip-top woman salary" (Of
course when she and her sisters of the
Wimodaughsis shall have accomplished
their purpose of suffrage, women will
get as much as men for as much work
as we'll done; and that certainly is a
consummatior pleasing to look forward
to) During the years which necessity
made her devote to this daily work she
employed her evenings in school where,
by greedy attention to her studies, she
gained good educational foundation.
Miss Edwards says she inherited her
desire for woman suffrage from her
mother. She is enthusiastically inter-
ested in nearly all the reforms, an ear

things" of the Jenness Miller reform

which the Wimodaughsis will strive
for. She is the secretary of the District
Woman's Suffrage Association and Sec

Daughters. Her residence is at High
land Station, in Prince Georges Coun-

ally superintended the building of her
house.
Miss Emma NJ. Gillett, still another
