Oregon: ' . , "We are ao .accustomed to connecting Longfellow with Cambridge that It sur : prises many, to know that Portland, .Main. Justly claims him as her own, as tit was born and grew to manhood In that city. Indeed, many of th sweet poems through whose sweetness and pathos he has grasped th hearts of th common peopl as, no other poet of modern times has done, were Written In the old' horn on Congress street It . was a pleasure some days ago while In Portland for a tlm to visit - this old horn, which Is filled with souvenirs of this great man. ' Longfellow seems so much a man of today that ono Is at first surprised to be reminded by th old-fashioned surroundings of his child hood and youth that he is so far re moved in point t tlm from th present ,Th brfuae Is a small red brick of three stories.

" ' On of 'the moat ' interesting rooms Is tbe -study directly back of th parlor and looking out upon - th back garden. This latter Is not so large as when Longfellow wrote "The Rainy Day" In this room and at th same old deak that now sets by - the window, but th "vine that clings by th , moldeiing wall" Is still there, although tb encroachment of a recently erected building mad it necessary to cut down - th larger branches. On th study wall ' hangs an Interesting souvenir in th form of a doctor's receipt for services rendered at th birth of th bard. This - receipt speaks well not only for th sys tematic habits of th Longfellow family . In preserving papers, but for th con science of th doctors of that Jonggon .- day. .. .4.

' When th summing up of th events of th Lewis and Clark summer comes there will be few of greater social Im portance than.the reception tendered by the Woman's club to th hostesses of the different states last week. It Is significant for various reasons. first because It la th only social event given by. any of ths numerous Portland clubs or federation of clubs during the summer and the large and representa tive assembly, Ita beautiful management and easy hospitality proved the club an institution of the first magnitude, and quit to be trusted In doing the gracious thing when occasion demands. Club life Is not and should not stand for th octal aids of life, and when any organi sation coming under th head of club work - makes - Its social llf its main object It begins to decline and fails mis erably.
