WRIST WATCHES DISAPPEAR
jewellers Sell But Few of Them
Nowadays.

During the world war the old preju.
dice against a man wearing wrist
watch was quite done away with.
Near.y every man in the service wore
one and enjoyed 1t as convenience,
but the question has been asked re.
Gently what has become of them? Upon
questioning several jewellers the writ.
er found that seldom now do they
sell one, unless it is a cheap one
for man to wear while fishing or
hunting.
After this it seemed best to question
the man in the street and oh, what
scorn was expressed Of the man who
now wears a wrist watch The last
person questioned was quite uncon-
scious that real information was de.
sired. It was while at lunch in a pub
lie dining room and observing a mu-
tual acquaintance who had been wait
ing for sometime for someone to join
him one Of our company remarked
that he was looking at his watch,
whereupon the other male companion
said "A wrist watch, bet! One would
expect nothing else of him"

ACTORS AS THEY REALLY ARE
Mrs. Arthur Elliot to Address Fort
nightly Saturday Afternoon.

Mrs Arthur Elliott, who will speak
lat the Congregational chapel Satur-
day afternoon, her subject being "Ac-
tors and Acting--A True Talk" has
been connected with the theatre over
twenty-five years, having made her
debut in play called Friends" by
Edwin Milton Doyle, author of THE
Squaw MAN.
It was in this play that Mrs Elliott
first came to Bennington, appearing
at the Opera House, and it was her
appreciation OF the beauty of our Yer
mont hills at that time which later
induced her to make Bennington her
home
She also played in the companies of
Fanny Davenport, the late Blanche
Walsh Henry Miller, William Faver-
sham, and others. OF late years she
has acted only in company with Mr..
Elliott and was with him in Three
Faces East two seasons ago.
Her acquaintance among theatrical
people Is naturally large and varied,
and in her talk on March IL. she will
endeavor to give some general idea
Of stage life and conditions, and to
explode a few Of the popular myths
which have grown up about actors and
acting.
