where best bear the reverend title of
mother" 1t was type curiously I'M
like the old funny-paper idea of a
"short-haired woman"
There was a certain likeness among
all those leaders grown gray in con-
troversy; they are nearly all women
of strong physique and strong affec-
tions; nearly all comely; nearly all
mothers of many children, famous
housekeepers, broad in sympathies.
Mrs. Stanton was herself more
than fair sample of her sisterhood.
Living far past eighty with her clear
intellect unclouded, she had scarcely
known physical sickness in all her
life. She was the mother of six chill
dren all in mind and body uncommon;
she was famous housekeeper. Her
daughters shafe these qualities; her
sons-Theodore Stanton, the Paris
correspondent of Harper's and author
Of "The Woman Question in Europe"
and Henry Stanton, New York lawyer
are tall men, of Astounding vitality.
In the audience were women al
most as distinguished in appearance
as was Mrs. Stanton. Mrs. Mariana
Chapman, president of the Brooklyn
Suffragists, is handsome woman in
her quiet way, with a strongest, but
smooth and almost girlish face under
a crown of perfectly white hair. She,
too, is a famous housekeeper. Mrs.
Blatch, Mrs. Stanton's daughter, is
a woman of the world, but an enthu-
siast. There were men present-the
husbands of the women in almost
every case. The very aged Moncure
D. Conway spoke.

is experimenting his new play, which
is just ready to Degin with Miss Viola
Allen in the leading role. "The Eter-
nal City, suffers, as do all plays made
out Of successful novels, by being too
sternly condensed. At rehearsals Mr..
Caine himself is as good as a play; he
is alive in every inch of his excitable
body. He takes himself seriously. He
is never in doubt that his work is great
and will last That is one way to con-
vince others. The earnest man has an
advantage.
There's a good deal in the theater
way just now that is notable. Mrs.
Campbell pursues the highly spiced
drama, and by her beauty and genius
almost performs the prodigy of max
ing it proper to witness. La Duse re-
turns after six years with the deter
mination to play nothing but the work
Of the unspeakable d'Annunzio, none
of whose plays is playable, to say
nothing of their moral qualities. But
the Duse is an artist. Mrs. Fiske, an
other artist, is producing MARY of
Magdala," which is daring enough to
take the place of the morality play
"Everyman," whose short season has
closed. These are the shows most
talked about. With one exception.
That exception is William Gillette,
the Hartford boy, who has conquered
leading place in the theater world
by sheer intellect. His 'Sherlock
Holmes" is a triumph of the natural
method which so many actors try in
vain all their lives to acquire. Gillette
never raises his voice but the magnet
ism of the man, which is of the intel
lect, not of the personality, holds close
attention. His career abroad has tri-
umphed over much opposition. He is
not yet so, tall, slender, looking both
on and off the stage like anything but
an actor.
Gillette needs a part that fits him.
Held by the Enemy" furnished it; so
does sherlock Holmes" His success
began in 'The Private Secretary"

we'll who was thirty years ago one
OF the best hated and most abused
of her sex, the first woman preacher
ordained in America. For years Mrs.
Blackwell has not regularly preached
but is upon occasion model listener.
She, too, has been all her life model
home mother. AT the time [ speak
of, her four girls made home cares
light by assuming them in turn. The
daughters are now scattered them
selves, and there are grandchildren
many. To look at the placid face
of this woman one would never
dream that storms of controversy
have ragged about her head.
One face missed upon this occasion
was that of Lucy Stone, hidden now
beyond the veil. Mrs. Stone was the
wife of III. B. Blackwell, but as
matter of principle always bore her
own girlhood name. She was of
Quaker stock; something of the ira
ditional pracidity of the friends set
tied upon her features. Mrs. Stone
was also a notable housekeeper, to
whom there was no servant ques-
tion."~ Her tact made those who
served the wants of guests at her
house in Dorchester feel that they,
too, were of the family; an idea once
common upon Yankee farms, but now
found nowhere.
Mrs. Anthony, now that Mrs. Stan
ton has gone, will be taken as the
type of the woman suffrage woman.
In that she had never married, she is
not typical, but an exception; but
her strong face is typical in that
after years of strife it remains calm
and peaceful
The younger women of the party?
Why, they are in appearance just like
other women. l happened to be in
Washington last February when their
great council met. It was for the
most part an ordinary enough rather
fashionable looking assembly. In
the throng in the Riggs house corri-
doris the strong, poised faces of the
battle-tried veterans were conspicu-
Gus by their restfulness and lack of
nervous strain.

OUTH AMERICA with three
of the greatest rivers Of
the world, the Orinoco, the
Amazon and the Parana,


SEZzLM Amazon and the Parana,
ME4 has also in the last named
stream one of the greatest
and probably the most beautiful Of all
the large waterfalls of the world.
The Parana river rises in the center
of the Brazilian republic, and, flowing
southwark, enters the Atlantic ocean
at Buenos Ayres. AS it breaks through
the Sierra Amambihy range of noun
tains Just at the corner Of the little
republic of Paraguay, it is joined by
the smaller Iguazu, whose waters
plunge over the Iguazu falls and rush
through the deep gorge below.
The map shown herewith gives some
idea of the formation Of the falls,
though it can convey no idea Of their
wonderful beauty, nor is that possible
in words. The rush Of waters, broken
by almost countless islands, set with
a brilliant tropical forest for a back
ground, is a scene Of which the be-
holder can only say Wonderful! Won
derful!"
The black basalt through which the
water has worn its way is clearly
shown in the gorge that affords an out
let for the river after its drop, the
steep sides remaining almost perpen-
dicuIar for a long distance. The faint
~ shaded line winding through the
islands shown in the map indicates
the line of the falls. Under the rush
