The paper of the afternoon was by Mrs. George R. Williamson on “Sonia Kovalevsky, Lover and Scholar,A True Story,” and was of absorbing interest, bringing out central thoughts and blending the reality and romance of this unusual and interesting life. Sonia was born in Russia in 1850, a most, un welcome child in the family of the Russian General Krukovsky and his worldly wife. Mrs. Wiiliamson described the home life of this family of wealth and dirtinction, giving piojp inence to Sonia’s unusual talent as a child and her wonderful development in her three per sonalities—emotional, literary and scientific. To the world she is best Known for her remark-* able work as a mathmatician. In Oct. 1868 she married Waldemar Kovalevsky, for the sole purpose of continuing her studies and against the expressed wishes of her parents. They went first to St. Petersburg, then to Heidel berg, where the young student attracted at tention by her wonderful mind and ambition to develop it. Here she formed friendships with George Eliot, Darwin, Spencer, Huxley and others, but was never happy, and her bitterest complaint was “Nobody has really loves me.” Her scientific work, successful as it was, never gave her any real joy, and thought was her tyrant instead of her servant. It was quite the reverse later in life when, through her own wilfulness, she was without what her heart most craved, a love as strong as she was capable of giving and a home of her own. To her reality always seemed far behind her an ticipations. She succeeded nearly as well in her lectures and literary work as she had in her mathmatical research. The story of her later life in Paris was charmingly told by Mrs. Williamson. The last days of her life—with a morbid fear of the great unknown and her' dearest dreams not yet ;#ali^ed— were spent among strangers in Stockholm, where she died iir February 1891 aged 41 years. The regular monthly business meeting of ^ the Belfast Woman’s Club will be held at the slub room, Monday Feb. 5th, at 3 p. m.
