ADMISSIONS
To chautauqua Meetings On Sunday
VIII BE Charged Owing TO
High Priced Talent

There has been considerable in
quiry as to whether or not admis.
sion to the Chautauqua would be
charged or Sunday. The manage
ment has informed the Telegram that
owing to the high priced talent
which has been secured. 1t will be
necessary to charge admission to all
the sessions. This will not be SUR
prising to those familiar with Chau-
tauqua work as that is the establish
ed custom everywhere.
1t would be manifestly unfair to
those holding season tickets should
those who do not, be admitted free
on any day, and this by the way is
the very strongest argument for their
purchase. The price has been made
SO very low that everybody can at
ford to buy them.
The Chautauqua talent if heard at
different times on separate programs
would cost over s25. The chau-
tauqua management offers IT at the
ridiculously low price of $3.50. No
argument is needed to establish the
quality of what is differed. Every
person on the program has a nation
al reputation. and none would dare
to intimate that the talent is cheap
in quality. The management author
ICES the Telegram to say that the
same people purchased outside the
Interstate Chautauqua Alliance
would cost nearly $4,000 and 1t is
only by being affiliated with that al
lance that popular priced program
can be offered at all.
The people OF Harrison and adj
joining counties should show their
appreciation of the opportunity to
hear the best platform talent in
America at low cost by giving It
their unstinted support Any thing
less than the heartiest cooperation
would he reflection on the intellect
ual status of the community.

Another style OF the swift feeding house
is the tAble!ess almost waiterless variety
where the diners, known as perchers, sit
at a counter or upon chairs with broad
right arm wide enough to hold perhaps
two small plates and cup Of coffee. The
diner here waits upon himself and as he
picks up little plates Of cold food from the
counter to carry them TO his chair the man
back Of the counter punches the amount
Of his purchase on a ticket.
In New York these places are usually
called Baltimore. Boston or Philadelphia
lunch rooms. In every other town that
sports them they are known as New York
lunch rooms. Consequently it is difficult
TO say what city has the honor Of inventing
the fashion
There is a place of this kind down near
the Wall Street plunderbund region laid
out in an L shape 50 that it has entrances
on two streets. A few feet inside each
entrance a woman stands against a pillar
distributing tickets 10 the hungry as they
enter. After the workers have lunched
they pay the amount punched on the ticket
10 the cashier on their way out.
But the country's future fnanciers who
are now temporarily working as Office boys
in the skyscrapers OF the neighborhood
learned long ago that the double entrance
10 this restaurant affords opportunities to
beat tha game. A boy will enter the place
from Nassau street, say. and get a ticket

But her experience explains why Japanese
women refuse TO wear their native cos
tunes on the street here. At least that is
one reason.
But there is another and more potent rea-
son. which is that the American costume is
looked upon as a mark OF progress. As a
result the moment the little foreigners reach
New York they set about purchasing an
American wardrobe and. while they wear
their clothes in quite as smart fashion a.
the women here. yet it seems a pity that
they should discard the quaint costuming OF
their native land.
Few Of the Japanese women retain their
kimonos even in the privacy OF their own
apartments, preferring negligees of Ameri-
can manufacture, and the story is told Of
one Japanese woman that she was welded

preference TO the flowing garments to which
at home she was accustomed.

Just erected in Sullivan county, the house
is wholly Japanese in character, having
been the Japanese building at one of the
worlds fairs, and the furnishings in nearly
every particular are typically Japanese.
Two Japanese brides are Mrs. Seko and
Mrs. Sakurai, who have recently come TO
New York with their husbands, who are
engaged in business here. Neither Of them
speaks much English a. yet and though
they are rapidly learning they are shy about
practising the language before strangers.
