Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, former president of the General Federation of ¢ Women's Clubs, said: “We can't even conceive immortality without remem- brances.” She declared the principal thing which she remembered about Miss Anthony was her unfailing humor, and it was this humor that helped Miss Anthony to fight tireless- 1y on, she added. { Mrs. Hester M.
