was almost unendurable that this commemoration of Miss Anthony's one hundredth birthday could not have been glorified by the proclamation that this amendment was forever a part of the National Constitution. However, by the time another month had rolled by, this culmination of her life work awaited the ratification of only one more Legislature and it was so universally recognized as near at hand that this last meeting could appropriately be termed the Victory Convention. Following is the program of the celebration of her centenary: SUSAN B. ANTHONY CENTENARY CELEBRATION. "To me Susan B. Anthony was an unceasing inspiration--the torch that illumined my life. We went through some difficult times together--years when we fought hard for each inch of headway gained--but I found full compensation for every effort in the glory of working with her for the cause that was first in our hearts and in the happiness of being her trusted friend."--Anna Howard Shaw.
