My Day at Chautauqua.

was invited To speak in the de-
partment of social economies at Chau
tauqua. The subject on which was
requested To make an address WAS
The Influence of Club Life on the
Home" and as | had very decided
ideas on that subject | welcomed the
Chautauqua in a vague way. about
the courses of study and the power
which the movement had been i'm the
educational world. and from the
many invitations which / had re-
ceived to speak at other chautauquas.
| could form some idea of the extent
Of the movement. but really tn under
stand it one must go To Chautauqua.
Iarrived AT the foot Of the lake on
very hot July day: the train
was several hours late. owing to
heavy rains and waShoutS. and To get
GfT the hot car and walk out on the
pier was delightful experience. The
great storm clouds were scudding
over the blue waters and. though the
lake is narrow, il was very rough
Quite large steamers ply between the
lower and upper lake. and they go So
often that it is a very animated scene.
These steamers are usually crowded.
but as the day was stormy and the
lake rough. there were comparatively
few passengers.
Lake Chautauqua is one of the love-
" series of lakes of Western New
York. of which Cayuga is the most
beautiful. Chautauqua is a pretty
lake. the banks are low. well wooded
and thickly settled. farm houses and
pleasant country homes being situated
all the way from Lakewood To Chau-
tauqua on the banks.
On the lake it was so cool that a
wrap was pleasant. and when the
steamer came To the wharf at Chau-
