s. Two weeks she spent in her own home visiting with
relatives; then rushed down to Long Island to hurry Mrs. Stanton with
her paper; and back again to Chicago to read it for her at the
Educational Congress. Many days and evenings were passed among the
wealth of attractions on the exposition grounds; and so the summer waxed

not an idle hour through all the four months of delightful associations
and cherished acquaintances. She writes in the diary October 30: "This

nowadays but those of praise and affection. She has lived to see
truth survive and justice vindicated. Men no longer regard her as
the arch-enemy to domestic peace, disseminating doctrines that mean
the destruction of home and the disorganization of society. They
