Rensselaer Republican, Volume 21, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 June 1889 — Susan B. Anthony. [ARTICLE]

Susan B. Anthony.

Somebody asked Susan B. Anthony at a reception given by the veteran women suffrage leader some days ago if it did not fatigue her to stand so long and shake so many hands. “Yes, it does tire ma,” came the quick answer,, “but not half so much as it did twenty years ago to stand all alone with no hands to shake at all." Miss Anthony is nearly 70, but her figure is straighter than that of many a girl at 17- Her eyes are bright and her rather thin face expresses acuteness and kindly intelligence. Her hair is quite heavy still and softly gray. She wears it combed down over the tips of her ears in the manner of a quarter of a century ago. She dresses quietly but richly in dark silks, with fine laoe for. garniture. She has one feminine weakness, a honor of going out in the rain.—NeW York Mail
