II The Rev. George b. Gilbert Of this
Town were to sum up III command.
men0 his Ideas about dancing. I think
they would take. the above form. !
know they would be thou shafts" Be.
cause DR.. Gilbert IL . positive and moi
. negative personality. Had It been
otherwise. he could not have made {
success Of the dance hall which he RUM
every summer. and which has JUS
opened for the season with the pair on.
age Of all the young folks In Middle.
town.
You wonder that an ordained Clergy.
man. supposed to frown on frivohty or
at best. to tolerate II with sad patience,
should be In the dance hall business
A clerical brother Of DR.. Gilbert also
wondered-snd protested. Said tho doc.
tor. "You come to my dance eo-nisht
and II you md anything happsnins
which mishtn't happen It your PRAYER
meeting I'll close the hail for the res,
Of the summer"
The clerical brother didn't exactly
come to the dance. but he edged I'D IN.
der the shadow Of the trees and peeped
In through the windows, Next morn.
Ing he met DR.. Gilbert and confessed
IA kuA 81 lAl
Il believe you're doing . great work.
he added.
TEACHES SCIENTIFIC FARMING
AND HYGIENE TOO.
DR.. Gilbert IL an Episcopalian With
four parishes under his charge. He Il
. tall. lean. lank Vermonter who hal
retained the shrewd perceptions and
humorous common sense Of the Yam.

promutgator OF summer camps. base.
ball. hygiene and scientific farming
among his parishioners. besides manag.
Ing his dance hall.
He came In from the hayfield to tall
to me to-day. Mrs. Gilbert sat by and
now and then put In Q smiling word
for she 10 her husbands active assistan,
In getting up the dances.
The reason / went into the business
was because thought Middletowr
needed . place where dancing had t.
be decent" he began. frankly. 9TH,
turkey-trot erase hit Us Just a. II hi
every other place. The high schoo
boys and girls were some Of its mos
sealous advocates. and myself saw
high school dancing parties which wer,
pretty bad.
"1ow is al nonssuss 20 talk
