eloqnence Of Bryan, and are probably
soothed to slumber under the inspir.
ing plea of a Talmage.
This emphasizes the necessity On
the establishment of a kind of
social habitat or headquarters for
the benefit of the public, where every
visitor IN attendance may go and
feel that he is welcome. Here the
musician. politician, scientist and
the artist can all meet and greet, and
in a social conclave pass many pleas
ant hours in discussing their respec-
tive hobbies. The only charge for
admission should be a pleasant smile
at the portals of this place and plenty
of kind words for those one meets
within.
The wisdom of having such place
has been thoroughly demonstrated
during the three years of the Chau-
tauqua. We had nothing of this
kind the first year, but Its necessity
was quickly realized, and for the
second year the young men Of waxa-
hachie formed two organizations, one
known as the Graham Bachelors and
the other as the Forty Funny Eel
lows. Each erected on the grounds
large tents and furnished them beau
tifuliy and deliberately.
These tents were thrown open TO
their friends and visitors and from
early morning until late at night,
sweet songs and merry laughter were
heard. Musical recitals, readings,
open receptions and other entertain
ments were given from time to time
during the chautauqua session, all
of which were highly appreciated by
those in attendance. Last year the
Young Mems Chautauqua Asgoeia-
ton was formed and large and COM

annex where the girls, the old maids
and married women could pompa-
dour their hair, powder their faces

From Chautauqua Herald:
All indications point to a great
occasion Wednesday. April 26th.,
when President Turner is to be in
augurated and the Sims Library is
to be dedicated. The project was
taken hold of with the utmost en-
thusiasm at mass meeting Of citi-
zens held on the 22nd ult. The in
yitation committee is now sending
out the official invitations and ii is
believed that a large number of col
lege men will avail themselves of
the opportunity to hear DR.. Thwing.
In Connection with the dual event a
social function will be given under
the auspices of the association of
alumni and former students of Trini-
ty University which was organized
at Dallas last May. The programme
so far as ii can be outlined at the
present time follows. Some slight
changes may be necessary but the
general adjustment of the various
events will doubtless be permanent.
