JULIA WARD HOWE STILL
WORKS FOR HUMANITY.

Although she Is 81 years old, Mrs.
Howe is still the most active woman
in the country. Many men and wom-
Ell have retired from active work
at half her age, but this wonderful
woman is still as active as she was
in middle age and to her even yet
every day is the best day Of her
life"
Born in New York in 1919 she mar
ried in 1871 and since then Boston
has been her home. Her husband
was great surgeon, whose work for
the blind has made him famous.
Mrs Howes work during the first
anti-slavery agitation was of more
value to the cause. perhaps. than that
of any other one person, and her
Battle Hymn of the Republic" will
go down through the ages as one
of the literary masterpieces of those
days
With the accomplishment of the
object of the anti-slavery people Mrs.
Howe turned her attention to other
channels. Since then she has been
q strong advocate of equality for
women and has written and spoken
much on the suffrage question. In
fact, her work for this cause has
been more important than that of any
other woman.
In her pretty home in Boston Mrs.
Howe is still working She writes a
great deal. and her writings are to-
day as clear and concise and forecful,
and as much sought after. as they
were 40 years ago.
