To Keep Suffrage Mementoes.
A portrait of Susan B. Anthony, together with the table upon which was written the call for the Seneca Falls convention of 1848—the first active movement in America to give women the vote—has been presented to the Natural History museum, in Washington, by the National American Woman Suffrage association. The portrait was painted by Sarah J. Eddy, and for the last two- years -it has hung in the headquarters of the national association. It represents Miss Anthony not as an inflexible leader of,a great cause, but as a smiling, gray-halred woman, upon whose knee children are laying roses. The table was presented to Miss Anthony by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the convenors of the first convention,.
