HE CALLED HER DEAREST.
Devoted Mother Trained Her Boy To
 Be Affectionate.

From the Success Magazine.
 Shortly after Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's book, Little Lord Fauntleroy" ]" appeared she went with her two little boys to a seaside hotel. The story had made great sensation, and there had en- sued a regular epidemic of Fauntleroy youngsters In the room next to that occupied by Mrs. Burnett was dashing, rather overdressed widow, with red haired, bullet-headed son of about [, who was the terror of the hotel. Anticl- pating the arrival of the famous author, his mother had purchased complete ana elaborate Fauntleroy outfit, with which she proceeded to deck out her unappre- ciative and rebellious offspring.
 Not content with this outward seem ing. the woman desired to complete the caricature by compelling her precious child to address her as dearest" after the manner of the hero of the book, in- stead of "mommer,' or, more frequently, merely. "say," as had been his previous custom.
 Mrs. Burnett arrived no sooner than she had been expected, but apparently before little Johnny had entirely completed his course of instruction in fllial courtesy, as was evident by the sounds which pene- trated the thin lath and plaster partition between the rooms. This Is what Mrs. Burnett heard
 "Johnny!"

 What luck!" observed the Briton solemnly. q hope, by love, she has a surgeon in her crew.

 Then another silence fel between the two, as they lay and watched the com ing battleship. They spoke no word, vet their hands crept out and touched, in a grip that means far more than the babbling symbols of our tongues.

the first of the younger women to call
Miss Anthony. Aunt Susan and it is
impossible to consider Miss Anthony's
career quite apart from the services
rendered by Rachel Foster Avery.
Mrs. Avery was corresponding secre-
tary of the committee Of arrange
ments for the Worlds Congress Of
Representative Women, the National
and International Council of Women
and National Suffrage Association, all
of which held successful meetings in
Chicago during the Worlds Fair. She
was also corresponding secretary OF
the National Council of Women, held
in Washington in 1895.
Mrs. Avery's management % the III.
ternational Council of Women. held in
Washington, D. c., In February. 1888.
under the auspices of the National
Suffrage Association, was the crown
ing effort of her executive genius.
There were representatives from So
different national organizations from
seven distinct nations. The expenses
of this meeting made grand total of
$4,000, the financial risk being assum-
ed by Miss Anthony and Mrs. Avery.
For twenty years Mrs. Avery was
corresponding secretary Of the Nation.
al Woman Suffrage Association, and
she now holds this Office in the Inter.
national Woman Suffrage Alliance.
Her familiarity with languages makes
her peculiarly valuable in this posi-

Zurich, Switzerland, and lived abroad
for some time with her mother and
sister. In 1883 she visited Europe
with Miss Anthony, the occasion of
