nR. JAMES STRONG. for thirty
three years president of Carleton
A| college, gave a talk on Personal
"reminiscences of Robert Browning
yesterday afternoon before the Twen-
tieth Century Browning club at the
home of Miss Grace Barnes on Ver-
mont avenue.
1t was during a trip on Lake Como
that the speaker met and became in
terested in an Englishman and his Sis
ter, the only other passengers on the
boat, and it was only by accident he
discovered the identity of his chance
and charming acQuaintanceS.
The leak that caused the discovery
was a small hand bag bearing the tag
"R. Browning" The American re-
marked that this name was greatly
honored in his country whereupon
Robert Browning quietly but promptly
announced "That is my name"
DR.. Strong laid emphasis upon the
fact that his illustrious fellow traveller
did not in the least resemble the pale,
anaemic mortal pictured often as the
typical poet, but was alert and
Wideawake and a man of especially
brilliant gifts as a conversationalist,
a fluent talker and we'll informed on
every topic from the trivial to the
SuDllIne.
This was Browning's first visit to
Italy since the death of his wife, sew
enteen years before, and after the ac-
quaintance had progressed he spoke
freely of her and seemed to take a
certain comfort in talking to this SYM
pathetic stranger of his happy welded
life.
DR.. Stone told, with rare sympathy
for the living poet and appreciation of
the silent singer, of that most ideal
union in all literature. He related
how Browning. enraptured with the
poems of Elizabeth Barrett, had sought
an audience with the writer and de-
spite her own reticence and the op-
position of her father, had won, not
only wife, but the bright completion
Of his own brilliant soul. DR.. Stone
read one of Mrs. Browning's sonnets
from the Portuguese and in closing
