er London letter the noted correspondent, Florence Fenwick Miller,
of England, wrote:

Amidst all the attractive personalities and ideas presented, the
most sought of all--the one whose presence drew crowds everywhere,
who was made to speak in whatever hall she entered, and who was
surrounded in every corridor and every reception, just as the
queen-bee is surrounded in the hive by her courtiers, was the
veteran leader of the woman suffragists of America, Susan B.
Anthony. At seventy-three she is as upright of form, as clear and
powerful of mind, as strong of voice, as courageous and

Palmer and Mrs. Henrotin. The last named asked her to take part in the
Temperance, the Labor and the Social and Moral Reform Congresses and
requested her advice and assistance. She was placed by Mr. Bonney on the
advisory council of the Political, Social and Economic Congresses. Mrs.
Palmer wrote: "I should like you to send us special suggestions for
speakers and topics." Miss Anthony was much pleased at the selection of
Mrs. Palmer for president of the Board of Lady Managers, heartily
seconded all her efforts and lent no support to the dissensions made by
several women who thought there should have been more recognition of
those who had been pioneer workers. That this was appreciated is shown
by a letter written as early as
