and interesting picture of the suf-
frage pioneer:
She travelled over a large part Of
the United States. In most Of the
towns where she lectured no woman
had ever spoken in public before, and
curiosity attracted immense au-
diences. The speaker was a great
surprise to them. The genial idea of
a womafl's rights advocate, on the
part of those who had never seen one,
was at tall, gaunt, angular woman.
with masculine manners and strid-
ent voice scolding at the men. In
stead, they found little woman with
quiet, unassuming manners, win
ming presence and the sweetest voice
ever possessed by a public speaker
This voice became celebrated. It was
so musical and delicious that persons
who had once heard her lecture, hear
ing her utter few words years after.

At the Massachusetts Constitu-
tional Convention of 1853, twelve Pc
titions for woman suffrage were pre-
scented. bearing about 1000 signatures.
One Of them was headed by Louisa Al
colts mother. A hearing was given
before a committee Of the convention,
and was addressed by Lucy Stone,
Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker
and others. A young man in the au-
dience listened to Lucy, and made up
his mind to marry her if he could.
This was Henry B. Blackwell of Gin
cinnati, o.
He was brother of DR.. Elizabeth
Blackwell, the first woman in Amer
lea to obtain a medical degree.
Lucy had meant never to marry, in
tending to devote herself wholly to
her work. But he promised to de-
vote himself to the same work, and
persuaded her that together they
could do more for it than she could
alone.
The wedding took place on May 1,
1855, at the home Of the brides pa
rents.
Together they founded and edited
The Woman's Journal and devoted
their lives to the suffrage cause.
