A little girl who was visiting Mr.Storrs said: "It would never do for Mr.Greeley to go to Congress, he would make such a slitter-slatter of the place." Miss Proctor published _A Russian Journey_ after travelling through that country; has published a volume of poems, and has made several appeals in prose and verse for the adoption of the Indian corn as our national emblem.

She is also desirous to have the name of Mount Rainier changed to Tacoma, its original Indian name, and has a second book of poems ready for the press.
When I first met her at the home of Mrs.Storrs, I thought her one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen--of the Andalusian type--dark hair and lustrous starry eyes, beautiful features, perfect teeth, a slender, willowy figure, and a voice so musical that it would lure a bird from the bough.

She had a way all her own of "telling" you a poem.

She was perfectly natural about it, a recitative semi-tone yet full of expression and dramatic breadth, at times almost a chant.

With those dark and glowing eyes looking into mine, I have listened until I forgot everything about me, and was simply spellbound.
