lady. Four children have inherited
much of their mothers literary ability
and the altruistic enthusiasm of both
parents"
Miss packard spoke of the distinc-
tion which had followed the sons and
daughters of this couple and Of the in
tellectual growth which Mrs. Howe
maintained after the care of her own
children made fewer demands upon her
time. She filled an honored place in
that group of Boston authors of whom
she was one of the last to linger-the
group that centered about the Allan
tic Monthly and graved the highest
mark yet reached by American l1tera-
ture. In her Beacon street home over
looking the historic Charles river, as
we'll as in European sojourns, she was
the brilliant and charming hostess to
them all-Hawthorne, Emerson, Chan
ming Longfellow, Holmes, Whittier,
Lowell and to the younger set, Aldrich,
Howells and the brothers Henry and
William James.
Miss Packard concluded her memorial
with these words concerning the ia
nous Battle Hymn of the Republic:
1.-The deepest emotions, the life princi-
pie of the modern hospital, DIR.

dence and 'Cadmus' of the blind, and
