first Sunday dinner with us.... Our old Abolition friends, Giles B.
and Catharine F. Stebbins and three or four others took tea with us
tonight.... My old friend Adeline Thomson has come to stay several
weeks with us. How nice to have my own home to entertain my
friends.... Anna Shaw and niece Lucy came today and we had five
others to dinner. A very pleasant thing to be able to ask people to
stop and dine.... Brother D. R., sister Anna and niece Maud came
today for a week. It is so good to receive them in our own home. D.
R. enjoys the fire on the hearth.... Had Maria Porter, Mr. and Mrs.
Greenleaf and eleven altogether to tea this evening. How I do enjoy
it!... Who came this day? O, yes, Mrs. Lydia Avery Coonley, of
Chicago, her son and her mother, Mrs. Susan Look Avery, of

alone: broiled steak, potatoes, sweet corn, tomatoes and peach
pudding, with a cup of tea. All said it was good and I enjoyed it
hugely. How I love to receive in my own home and at my own table!

Greenleaf presided; Miss Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw were the speakers.
The former spoke briefly, insisting with her usual generosity that the
honors of the occasion should belong to Miss Shaw.[72] In the course of
her few remarks she said: "We who represent the suffrage movement ask
not that women be like men, but that they may be greater women by having
their opinions respected at the ballot-box. Only men's opinions have
prevailed in this government since it was founded. Enfranchisement says
to every man outside of the State prisons, the insane and idiot asylums:
'Your judgment is sound; your opinions are worthy of being crystallized
in the laws of the land.' Disfranchisement says to all women: 'Your
judgment is not sound; your opinions are not worthy of being counted,'
Man is the superior, woman the subject, under the present condition of
