WHERE CHAUTAUQUA IS MANAGED.

In the back yard of the same old

I his devOut Quaker mother the famous
drawing of the baby's smile, little low
shed is tucked away in the vines and
shrubs.
In the winter it sends bold putfs of
smoke tumbling up over the campus
hills behind otherwise it is perfectly

hens cluck at the front entrance as if
they held the keys. but they scamper
away fast enough when the doors open,
as they Occ 4siOnally do, to let some one
in or out of this unexplained little
building.
In the spring when the windows are
thrown. adventurously wide open. and
when the Franklin above suffers neg

secret is out ! The telegraphic click of
a dozen energetic type-writers chops

egg, keep at a discreet and respectful
distance.
