tice before the ‘Sapreme Court
“sot the United States, and has
“been active-in her efforts to se-
cure equal rights for men and
women. She has been three
times a delegate to the Peace
Conferences at the Hague, and in
spite of her age is a wonderfully
. bright, capable, and entertaining
woman. Nobody would suspect
cher age when talking with her.
| Mrs. Lockwood told your re-
_ porter yesterday that all kinds
+f newspaper reports were rife
of her failing health, poverty,
and dependence upon her friends.
“That is simply ridiculous to any-
body knowing Mrs. Belva Lock-
wood, wbom the papers proba:
_~bly confused with Miss Phasbe
, Wonsins, who has been prominent
in public life, conteinporary of
Mrs. Lockwood, but who becom-
+: Ing paralyzed haa since been de-
_ “pendent pon the charity of her
‘. friends.
“=~ On) the contrary, Mrs. Lock-
"Wood is a woman of property,
-sliving from the rentals, and has
ages in the Supreme and other
sgourts, involving great sums of
‘money. Anybody thinking Mrs.
- Belva Lockwood down and out
would have the surprise of a life
time to see and talk with her.
~ Long life to you, Belva Lock-
‘wood, for your splendid devotion
‘toward making the world a better
place for women! You have
blazed a trail that no other
‘woman could have done and
your tame will live as jong as the
“world lasts!
