L. are coming, and something of their plans. At least how long they will stay in London. Won't you be so good as to tell them this and give them my address? Really yours, J.C. CROLY. 7 RUE D'ASSAS, PARIS, FRANCE, October 3, 1900. My very dear President and Friend: Your letter was most welcome. I have been in a quiet little country place since coming from Ober-Ammergau, and know no one.

Among those who applied for tickets on equal grounds with men was Mrs. Croly, then an active, recognized force in journalism, and when the idea of a woman's club took possession of her she had become the most indignant and spirited woman ever locked out of a banquet hall.

From all over the State have come messages to me from different members of the federation, expressing their love and obligation to Mrs. Croly for what she has done for them individually, and for the State. One letter said: "I shall think of her always as that lovely, sweet-tempered woman who, under the most trying circumstances, never lost her temper, or felt she was at all aggrieved.

To David G. Croly, her husband, long a newspaper man of admitted power and executive force, Mrs. Croly was a constant help, as he too was to her. From him she learned not a little of her topical discernment and technical knack.

Tributes of Friends Jane Cunningham Croly An Appreciation from Miriam Mason Greeley In the joyful Christmas-tide of 1829, into the sweet influence of an English country home there came to life a blue-eyed, brown-haired maiden, whose sunny nature was destined to laugh with gladness of heart, or smile through falling tears, for more than seventy eventful years.

Croly, perhaps more than any other woman in the world, had the sense of what fellowship or fraternity meant in women, and although she sometimes may have been called an idealist or sentimentalist, it is recognized by many women that this thought must be abiding, for in a federation it is the spirit that is current through it that keeps the federation alive.

Croly, that the Roman meal was more "intellectual" than ours. On the contrary, ours is the more intellectual by much; we have far greater knowledge, far greater means for making it such. In fact, the fault of our meal is that it is too intellectual; of too severe a character; too political; too much tending, in many hands, to disquisition.

We have tenderly laid away to rest our beloved honorary president, Jane Cunningham Croly, to sleep the blessed sleep that knows no waking in this toilsome, troublous world. Her gentle soul is at peace, her personal work is accomplished, her useful life is ended. She has been taken from further pain and further labor, to that existence where all is perfect peace, perfect rest, perfect rhythm.

This is what we preeminently get out of our club life, and without paying so fearful a price for it. I hope to see you all when you come together in the autumn. With loving remembrance, J.C. CROLY. Letters to Mrs. 11 BARTON STREET, WEST KENSINGTON, Jan. 15, 1889. My Dear Mrs. Stopes: It is very kind of you to take this trouble to give us a pleasure, and I would not miss it on any account.

"No," said Rosie; "they were quite able to pay him what they did; but it isn't everyone who would have done so, and I have always thought well of them for it; and I am glad Cousin Arthur can make them some small return." "But should he succeed in restoring Mrs. Croly to health, that will not be a very small return, I think," said Evelyn with a smile.
