The following brief historical sketch
of the growth Of the First Congrega-
tional church in Pomfret is taken
from the booklet prepared when the
bi-eertenial of the town was celebrat-
ed several years ago.
"ReliQion came TO PomfreS with
John Sabin, the very first settler. In
deed, religion even discovered the Nip
muck country to the settlers from
Roxbury, Mass, for it is thought that
it was the missionary tour In 1874
of Rev. Ebenezer Williams Of Rox-
bury among the Indians of this region
that first awakened the interest of the
Roxbury proprietors-
"John Sabin had completed his
house by 1896, but other settlements
were few and slow, and It was not I'M
til May 8. 1913. that the inhabitants
held their first meeting looking TO the
organization Of a town. 1t was At
this first meeting that the settlers who
had been going regularly to church in
Woodstock, and had wearied Of the
long drive under all conditions OF
weather, made provision for the estab-
lishment Of the gospel MINISTRY
among themselves.
Minister Fes;y-Six Years
"On December 90, 1713, Rev. Eben-
ezer Williams began his labors In
Mashamoquet, as Pomfret was then
called, and preached in private hous-
es. Work on the first meeting house
was begun at once and by the summer
og IT'S was so nearly completed that
on October 26, in the new building
the church was organized and Mr..
Williams ordained its first minister.
Eighteen ministers have followed
him, but his memorable term Of ser
vice OF thirty-eight years has been ex-
ceeded only by that Of his immediate
successor, Rev. Aaron Putnam, whose
active ministry extended over forty
six years.
Three meeting houses have been
built: the second was occupied In
Urea, and the third in 1882. This last
building was remodelled and enlarged
TO it's present proportions In 1857
1872 and 1891.
1.-THE church has given its spirit and
Life to the formation Of churches y
the towns IT 6rccklyn, Putnam, Ab'
ineton and Pomfret, Vermont, and
| has maintained q cordial interest IN
the welfare Of the different religion,

Exterior Now Beautiful
But the most successful of all Of the
alterations is the regeneration Of the
exterior of the old building. To the
summer visitor who went away last
summer with a mental picture Of the
old structure, the vision Of the new
church will be little less than q start
hing revelation.
With the tearing away Of the for
mer entryway space was permitted Tor
the restoration Of the church porch
and across this six white columns
were erected TO support the roof
From the Killingly quarries stone was
secured to match the original stone
secured from the same source--which
paved the old vestibule. No feature
Of the new work is more beautiful
than this stonework which has been
very excellently finished. The tower
of the old building, at no inconsidera-
Bile expense, has been completely re-
stored and heavy copper dome has
been set in place, supporting the an
Gent weather vane which has been q
landmark of Pomfret Hill for over o
century.
Feeling that through the tradition
of the ancestors who built the first
meeting house, the renovated church
be painted white, this has been done
with the new building with excellent
results. 1t fits most acce2tably into
the picture already created by It's near
neighbor, the rambling old Ben Gros'
venor Inn.

to meet her before surprised me until remembered that Van had spent little or his time in his home town before his finances began to shrink.
 Ann flew to pay Daddy Lorimer his toll, and to perch upon the table by his side while Van sank in corner of the divan by Martha's side. From the brightening of his eyes and sudden yividness of his speech, and a little strengthening of his elegant figure, I perceived that Van very much ap- proved of Martha's blonde loveliness.
 Daddy Lorimer leased his small daughter-in-law about her new wool socks.
 Cant see style in those thingsl" he touched her ankle with his cane. My mother used to knit the same for me. down on the old farmi Style-huhi"
 Van became absorbed in Martha. Van is man of culture, has never done anything in his life except travel and read. He and Martha could get a vast amount of genuine pleasure from a conversation, l felt sure, and Martha never would suspect that Van was a breaker of hearts of fair women nor that he had already begun today siege to her own!
 Martha, preoccupied as che was with her worry about her husband, couIdn' guess, but could and so could Mis tress Ann. And she did, and proved that she twas jealous by suddenly throwing herself into the conversation. She entered effectively, like a dancer in a spotlight.
 She was still perched on the table suddenly she stretched out her legs horizontally-I have always marveled that such small legs could be so ex- quisitely shaped-then she scratched her ankles frantically.
 Wool sock!" she exclaimed. Gosh now l suffer! Van, stop laughing!" Gro be continued)

 In bounced Ann Lorimer, interrupting and ending our serious talk. Trailing after her came Paul Van Eyeck.

 That Ann and Van could be so easily and cheaply satisfied ought not to hay, distressed me, but it did on poor Jimi account.
 Ann would have to reform for he husbands sake and when my husband had recovered, it would be my duty {, make Ann change her ways, for unles she did she would soon be engulfed il the quicksands of passion, and pas rescue.
 Ann, petite and ingenue, seemed child, not a wife, and certainly ther was little of her conduct that day t suggest the existence of her husband a a factor of importance to her.

at the altar which it was his duty to keepl
 On the manner in which he chose to keep it and the worth of a love that wanted her to share his misery" we need hardly comment. But it is a trib- ute to the skill of these birds of prey that the poor girl did not see what to us is so obvious.
 The same bird. though perhaps of a slightly different feather, is the man who offers his sympathy to a married woman.
 Perhaps she is really unhappily married, more frequently, however, she is just going through one of those marital crises that would blow over as the storm blows over the sea, leaving it more placid after. But at the psy- chological moment he is there with his sympathy. Adding fuel to the flames and vowing eternal love he tries to bag his prey.
 Steer clear, girls of the married man who attempts to arouse your sym- pathy; and you wives, of the man who tries to give you his. For they are birds of feather and birds of prey.

Why girls go to college is revealed by statistics dealing with the after ca reers of Barnard graduates. Of 2.095 living alumnae, 58 per cent are holding paid positions, 30 per cent have mar ried, and only 12 per cent are neither married nor at work As to the kind of occupation preferred. teaching, once the favorite pursuit of college bred women, has lost caste. Since 1915, the per cent of graduates from Barnard engaged in teaching has dropped from SS to 27. The figures show that girls go to college for serious purposes: that higher education for them is something for practical use as much as for orna- ment, and that considerably more than half of all the graduates of this college are self supporting.

BIRDS OF PREY

Has he told you his wife does not understand him--insinuated had it been some one like you things would have been different? Beware of him then, for he bears the earmark of a bird of prey
 Of most married men who complain to any one that their wives do not un- derstand them much might be said. But there is one type particularly that is a menace-the man who tells it to a young girl.
 For enough times out of ten to justi- fy us in branding him he is utilizing his pose as an unhappy husband to play upon her sympathy, and his art of flattery in intimating her superior understanding" to work her harm.
 I knew a girl not so long ago who said her life was ruined because of a hopeless love for a married man. He had begun in the usual way, by play ing on her sympathy. Having won her love he kept it aflame by constant re- minders and frequent trysts, but de- clared that he would never be free to marry her because he had made vow

Run from this red ribbons to each place, first con- cealing within 1t favors or caps.

and some western counties, while in
some south-central and southeast
counties less than 70 percent was
safe. In the latter sections the frost
was not severe enough to do much
damage, and it is probable that for
the state as whole not more than
10 percent Of the crop will be soft.
This will be easily absorbed by feed

warm and dry three weeks in Septem-
