of most enjoyable social affairs. Mrs.

by birth, and has not only the delight
fully liquid accent of the South, but the
vivacity and engaging manners of a Lex
ington belle. The contingent of ladles
that oame down with her comprised many
of the well-known social leaders of Taco
ma. Several of these have visited in
Portland before and have many friends
in this city, and as a consequence Port
land society has been well represented
during the past week at the Washington
building.
Tho week of social events at "Washing
ton" began gaily on Monday afternoon,
with a reception, invitations to which
were by card. Mrs. Seeley received with

sition emissaries will visit the vari
ous Mayors and carry the personal In

plan Is happily successful, there will
undoubtedly be some elaborate enter
taining done by the Exposition. The
list of Governors available as Expo
sition visitors seems about completed;
now we must do the best we enn with
Mayors. If the Mnyors come for Port
land day. thero will be a gorgeous

floats and be wheeled "about the Expo
sition grounds. Moreover, and this
seems the most highly interesting fea
ture of the programme, they will be

their respective municipalities. This
may sound whimsical and amusing,
but what an attractive parade It would
make!

Reed and greater as Fcssenden may
have been, the beloved name of Long

of Reed or Fessenden, and that If
worthy achievement be a test of great
ness the poet Longfellow was by far
the greatest man Maine has ever pro
duced. Robert Livingstone spoke, ex
