her they could do nothing whatever
to help her. During that eight years
she had only s91 that she did not
earn.
She lived In an attic without any
fire--in a Boston winter She studied
ing frosty clouds upon the air. She
had not food enough to satisfy hunger
She had not clothes enough to keep
warm. Her stockings showed through
holes in her shoes. She supported
herself throughout the entire course
by preaching and featuring. But so
many places did not pay her anything
that she could average only $3.50 a
week.
One day she was sitting on the
stairs She had sat down because she
felt too weak to get to the top A
woman whom she knew slightly came
along and asked her why she was SIT
ting on the stairs When she found
out she went away and borrowed $91
from another woman and gave 1t to
Miss Shaw with the proviso that she
was never to know from whom 1t
came That was the only help she
had through her course. She repaid
the money after she was graduated
and never knew who lent 1t.
But about this time she acquired
the warm friendship Of Mrs. Persis
Addy. widow. During the final year
OF her course Mrs Addy took her into
her home. and though the student paid
the same board she had been paying.
she had for 1t the comforts OF good
nome and the devoted care OF Mrs.
Addy Mrs. Addy had planned, to go
70 Europe and take Miss Shaw with
her as soon as the latter should have
finished her course. She died just be-
fore commencement. but in her will
lett Miss Shaw $1,000 for the specified
purpose OF taking European trip.
When she was planning this Journey
Mrs Addy's father said to her:
Nov. you will spend that money
and II will be gone forever Instead
of cash. let me give you two bonds
worth $500. Then will keep the
bonds for security ard lend you 81 500
on them. When you get to work you
can repay me as convenient, ard
when it is all paid the bonds will be
yours again"
She did this. and having acquired a
certain sentiment about the matter,
has done the same ever since She
has left the bonds on deposit and let
the interest accumulate. and they
have paid the actual travelling ex-
penses Of her three trips to Europe
Miss Shaw took the medical course
because during her theological course
she did missionary work in Boston.
She found, to use her own words, that
she had nothing the people wanted. /"
They did not want either her theology
or her gospel. They wanted help In
their material lives. She took the med
lcal course In order that she might
give them free medical treatment.
It was as missionary doctor and
preacher In the Sums of Boston that
Miss Shaw became convinced that
there were certain defects in an all
male government which called for pc
iiticai power in the hands of women.
She had always believed in woman
suffrage. Now she decided to work
for 1t She began to speak for the
Massachusetts Suffrage association
