lecture will be rendered in inimitably bright and
cheery style that will enliven her audience, which, while
laughing and applauding, will listen intently throughout. No
wonder she is a favourite with lecture goers, for few can give
them so delightful an evening as she.--MARY A. LIVERMORE.

There is only one Kate Sanborn. Her position as a lecturer is
unique. In the selection and treatment of her themes she has no
rival. She touches nothing that she does not enliven and adorn.
Pathos and humour, wit and wisdom, anecdote and incident, the
foibles, fancies, freaks, and fashions of the past and present,
pen pictures of great men and famous women, illustrious poets
and distinguished authors, enrich her writings, as if the ages
had laid their wealth of love and learning at her feet, and
bidden her help herself. With a discriminating and exacting
taste, she has brought together, in book and lecture, the
things that others have overlooked, or never found. She has
been a kind of discoverer of thoughts and things in the
by-paths of literature. She also understands "the art of
putting things." But vastly more than the thought, style, and
utterance is the striking personality of the writer herself. It
is not enough to read the writings of Miss Sanborn, though you
cannot help doing this. She must be heard, if one would know
the secret of her power--subtle, magnetic, impossible of
transfer to books. The "personal equation" is everything--the
strong, gifted woman putting her whole soul into the
interpretation and transmission of her thought so that it may
inspire the hearts of those who listen; the power of
self-radiation. It is not surprising that Miss Sanborn is
everywhere greeted with enthusiasm when she speaks.--ARTHUR
LITTLE.

Miss Kate Sanborn is one of the best qualified women in this
country to lecture on literary themes. The daughter of a
Dartmouth professor, she was cradled in literature, and has
made it in a certain way the work of her life. There is
nothing, however, of the pedantic about her. She is the
embodiment of a woman's wit and humour; but her forte is a
certain crisp and lively condensation of persons and qualities
which carry a large amount of information under a captivating
cloak of vivacious and confidential talk wit
