The home which they established in Boston on their return became a center for the refined and literary society of Boston and its environment. Mrs. Howe's grace, learning, and accomplishments made her a charming hostess and fit mistress of such a home. Her literary talent was developed at a very early age. One of her friends has humorously said that "Mrs.
The figure was that of a girl a girl with wind-tossed hair who, with head thrown back, stopped a moment and looked full into the sunset. It was Miss Ethel Cartright of New York, Giusippe's beautiful lady of Venice! The voyage from Liverpool to Boston was thoroughly interesting to Giusippe.
