Mrs Fiske, never satisfied to stand upon
her own artistic footing alone, has pro
vided during her career the most sig

Vanderbilt Wedding
 Very Qu.el Affair
Alfred G., Divorced, Marries Mrs. s. M. McKim, Also
 Divorced, in London

London, Dec, 1S-Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt was married to Mrs. Mar garet Emerson McKim by special li- cense yesterday afternoon at Reigate, a small town in Surrey, twenty-five miles from London The ceremony took place at the District Registrar S Office at o'clock, an hour which on Sunday finds the streets of a small English town like sReigate absolutely deserted, except possibly for a pass ing motor car.
 Both MT. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Me Kim arrived at the Registrars Office in motors, the bridegroom arriving minutes before the bride. She wore a black dress. with a black hat trim med with feathers. MT. Vanderbilt Mrs. MeKim came into Reigate from a house called "The Stream, which she has been occupying for some time past. at Betchwoorth Village, between Dorking and Reigate. "
 It was by her tenancy of this place that she fulfilled the requisite qqali- hcations for being married at Reigate. Sunday marriages are unsual, to say the least, and it was only by special arrangement that the Superintendent Registrar of Reigate, F. C. Morrison. and the Registrar of Marriages, J. R. Handstone. were induced to attend the office for the ceremony.
 MT. Vanderbilt is described on the certificate as living at Gloucester House. Park Lane. London; of inde- pendent means, and the son of Cor nelius Vanderbilt, deceased, a Presi- dent of Railways. The brides age is given as 27. The witnesses who sign Miss F. O. Mccormack and J. D. Langton; for the bridegroom, Walter Webb Ware and Roy c. Gasser.
 After the ceremony the party went to The Stream for a wedding break fast, and later Mr. and Mrs. Wander bilt left by motor car, it was said, for London.
 Inquiries last night at MT. Wander bilt's residence in London elicited the reply that MT. Vanderbilt authorized the statement that he had been mar ried to Mrs. McKim, but that there was nothing further to be said.
 Miss Mccormack. who was one of the witnesses. said: .,
 ''so far as know the newly-wed- ded couple had no special plans for the honeymoon. Mrs. Vanderbilt is extremely we'll known, both in New York and Paris, and has been ac- quainted with MT. Vanderbilt for many years.'
 It was stated in another quarter that after the wedding breakfast MT. and Mrs Vanderbilt came to Lon- don. where they received a few friends in the late afternoon at the brideeroom's flat in Gloucester House and in the evenine left for the Con- tinent. Mrs. Vanderbilt wearing a gray travelling costume, with furs.
 J. D. Langton, one of the witnesses is a well-known London lawyer. liv- ing in Grosvenor Road, and Walter Webb Ware. is, also. a lawyer. and is said to be cousin of Alfred Van derbilt with whom he has been about constantly. and for whom he acts as general representatiVe.

HIGH SCHOOL. NEWS

tomorrow afternoon the '1S14 4
 Dramatics" girls will have an impor-
 tant dress rehearsal in preparation of
 the plays to be given in the evening.
 All indications point to a successful
 presentation.
 The "Criterion'' offers a first and
 second prize of five and two-and- one
 half dollars for the best two stories
 and poems handed in. The rules of the contest will be stated in the
 ChriStmas "Criterion." Last year this
 contest caused quite a stir, about 30
 stories being handed in. Many of the Freshmen and Sopho-
 mores are now speculating whether they will ever. be fortunate enough to enter the new High school. One day last week a real German fraulein from Germany visited the school as the guest of Miss Wendell. She spoke in German to the students of the German classes and answered any suggestions that anybody had to ask. All preoent had a most enjoy able time with much laughter on both sides.
 It will be curious tomorrow to see
 how hard everybody will be studying g
 when the fellow comes around sell ing 'Criterions."
 President Hamilton of the Senior class announces the following ap-
 pointments to- the Stage committee of the Senior class play. Messrs. Codl- ter, Foster, Sullivan, Shaver, Tomil- son Thompson and Misses Newman, Whitcomb, Bee, Carney, and Laing. : The fellows selling "Criterions'
 have their troubles also. The odors | in the Chemistry room are like those
 arising from "Dantes Inferno" must have been.
 At the rehearsal of "The Princess on Friday, two sparrows became stranded in Warner Hall. It was with some difficulty that they were finally caught and put out. Miss Isaben Baker as Lady Psyche and Miss Fannie Northrop
 as 'The Princess" are both striving for the highest honors in the play,
 "The Princess"
 The arguments of, the Senior Nor
 nal Grammar class in the second period are as hot as ever. MT. Charles Brody likes to walk home every day with Miss Lottie Dorkin's young brother. At the next Athletic association l meeting two hew amendments to the constitution are to be brought up for voting. These have long been in force in. the other cities of the state. l They are:
 | That the managers of the respec- i tive B. H. s. teams should receive their "B's''
 l That every year an assistant man ! 1 he to hold this position throughout the year and provided he makes good, to become the manager of that team during the next year.
 | Last Friday evening Walter Keat- 1 ing '12 dropped into an auctioneer.s 8 and purchased a ladies watch. The l fellows would like to know what Wal i ter intends to do with 1t. The fellows do love pie and will 1 go to any extremes to get it. During
 recess, Thursday, four of them seeing ! that the coast was clear made bolt
 up the hill after a bakers wagon.
 They got their pie. and were return i ing victoriously with it when thinking
 that the janitor spied them they all
 made a dash for the top of the fence. All got over safely excepting one fel- l low who takes very great pride in his socks. These he caught on the
 pickets and ripped all the way down l to his shoes.
