Few of the people who saw the
Boston poet, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, on
the platform with DR.. Depew at the
dedication of the Columbus statue in
Central park, New York, would have
said that she looked like woman of
seventy-fve. She has the presence,
the demeanor, the expression, the voice
and the step of fifty. She has hand
some face; she is in vigorous health;
she gives heed to the art of dress; she
is far more lively than are most women
at her time of life. Yet she has been
writing poetry for nearly sixty years
the poetry of beauty and of nature and
of the emotions and of freedom.
