She has been a watchful and affectionate daughter, sister, friend, and those who have felt the pulsations of her great heart know how warmly it beats for all. As the custom has long been observed, among married women, of celebrating the anniversaries of their wedding-day, quite properly the initiative has been taken, in late years, of doing honor to the great events in the lives of single women.
Being united in closest bonds to her profession, Dr.Harriet K.Hunt of Boston celebrated her twenty-fifth year of faithful services as a physician by giving to her friends and patrons a large reception, which she called her silver wedding.
From a feeling of the sacredness of her life work, the admirers of Susan B.Anthony have been moved to mark, by reception and convention, her rapid-flowing years and the passing decades of the suffrage movement.
To the most brilliant occasion of this kind, the invitation cards were as follows: The ladies of the Woman's Bureau invite you to a reception on Tuesday evening, February 15th, to celebrate the fiftieth birthday of Susan B.Anthony, when her friends will have an opportunity to show their appreciation of her long services in behalf of woman's emancipation. No.
49 East 23d St., New York, February 10, 1870. Elizabeth B.Phelps, Anna B.Darling, Charlotte Beebe Wilbour. In response to the invitation, the parlors of the bureau were crowded with friends to congratulate Miss Anthony on the happy event, many bringing valuable gifts as an expression of their gratitude.
