anybody calls him "Mr. Priscilla Dean."
 Priscilla comes rightly by her claim to histrionic fame, for her mother was May Preston Dean. at one time a widely-known emotional actress. Priscilla made her debut before the footlights with no less a parsonage than Joseph Jefferson in his never to-be-forgotten Rip Van Ninkle,' D Then James A. Hearne claimed her for a small part in ''The Children of Kings" Later she joined the Ben Greet players presenting Shakes pearean repertoire and toured the country in juvenile roles. Tlt"H s'.- cilla appeared in the New York Fol lies Bergere,' Where David trr434l.3 .-..,g her dance and offered her a chance in the pictures. At that time Griffith was with the old Biograph, and Priscilla had a small part, later going with Lyons and Moran in comedy stuff.
 And Now She's Married! From here on PrisciIla's life story reads like a book, with a happy end ing, for now she has just finished her greatest work and married her lead ing man.
 What could be sweeter?

special trip all the way from Brattle-
boro to eat chicken pie with the Mems
class. Mr. Sturtevant, in eloquent man
ner, praised the Mems class for the
grand work they were doing and said
that he would hold them up as an
example in his work of rejuvenating
churches through the state. He spoke
of the immense value of churches to a
community, enlarging on President
Moody's remarks concerning the effect
churches had on the value of property
and on the general prosperity of com
munities. Mr. Sturtevant said that he
knew of town that lost many of its
best citizens when it was forced TO close
its one church.
Rev. H. c. Newell, pastor Of the To-
cal Congregational church, endorsed
the movement OF the Mems class, and
thought that the splendid turn out Of
men indicated plainly that the world
is growing better. Mr.. Newell thought
it possible that what had been started
by the Men class as primarily a sec
tartan move, might proftably be turn
ed into community class, and frank
ly saw no objections to it. He thought
that there were too many organizations
now in Middlebury and he believes that
one organized Bible class taken from
all the denominations might be a fac
tor in bringing the men Of the town to-
gether for the accomplishment of con
siderable good. Mr. Newell stated that
there were at the present time in Mid
dlebury = different organizations
functioning and he believes that more
good could be accomplished by concen-
tfating in many endeavors
Rev. S. H. Barnum, of Weybridge
spoke very nicely, bringing greetings
from his parish and complmenting the
men on the success Of their efforts Mr.
Barnum thought there were many pos
sibilities before class OF this kind and
expressed the hope that the good work
would not end with chicken pie. Rev
Mr. Page of New Haven also brought
a word OF greeting from the neighbor
town and Rev Mr.. Woodmansee of
Salisbury spoke briefly in very fit
ting manner The last speaker was Lee
