MAHToMEDI CHAUrAUQUAA ASSEMBLY
The Chautauqua idea is taking fast hold
on the broad acres and the broad minds
of Minnesota. 1t has solved the problem
of. the right use of leisure. 1t happily
combines pleasure and culture, and
shows overworked people, who have
only time and means for the briefest sum-
mer outing, how they may secure physi-
cal relaxation, with intellectual profit
added, for a mere song. The Mahtomedi
Chautauqua Assembly is held on the
heavily wooded bluffs overlooking White
Bear lake, on the line of the st. Paul and
Duluth railroad, twelve miles from St.
Paul The lake is unsurpassed for beauty.

it's waters, and here the angler will find
the paradise of which he has dreamed.

acres, and are tastefully laid out with
walks and drives. Many neat cottages
