man who was present complimented
her afterwards.
“You spoke ably and well,” he said,

This meeting was held in Washing

addresses and words of felicity. She
had Just come from a convention of
woman suffragists in Baltimore.
Among the letters of congratulation
read was one from President Roose

“Let me join in congratulating Miss
Susan B. Anthony on the occasion of
her eighty-sixth birthday and extend
my best wishes to her upon her con
tinued good health.”
In reply to the numerous congratu
lations, Miss Anthony, owing to a se
vere cold, confined her remarks to
these few words:
“I wish the men would do something
besides extend congratulations.

have asked President Roosevelt to
push the matter of a constitutional
amendment allowing suffrage to
women by a recommendation to Con

word to Congress for the cause than
to praise me endlessly.”
The Rev. Anna Howara Shaw, a
prominent woman leader, presided
over the meeting, introducing the
speakers, and incidentally poking
much fun at the members of the stern
