From childhood she had IA passionate
love for history, particularly for that of
her W country, Her private library is
extensive, and last autumn she had the
privilege Of making special studies in
John Fiske's library in Cambridge.
Having lectured annually at Chautau-

Mrs. Sylyanus Reeds, Miss Welch de

taste of her quality, and at the sugges-
ton Of her friend, Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land, she went TO New York. engaged
the aristoCratic Berkeley Lyceum thea

history, and succeeded in interesting
some Of the foremost women in New

her subjects in this course were The
Making Of the Constitution. " THE War
of 1872, Alexander Hamilton" can
drew Jackson and John Adams" and
THE Capture Of n Commonwealth"
She speaks entirely without notes. and
her memory for dates, facts and figures
seems phenomenal.
Miss WEIGH is very attractive person
ally; she has a refined aud winning
manner, a spirited appearance and an
agreeable voice. Her delivery is easy
and fluent, and the literary style of her
discourse charming. She is always ready
to answer any questions after a lecture,
and her replies are invariably swift and
complete. The New York lectures were
successful beyond her hopes, and when
the course was finished a series of sup
