if the man who holds season ticket
can't get his moneys worth out of the
Chautauqua he is looking for some

make the Chautauqua so low in cost as
to include everybody. In fact, on the
season ticket plan, these splendid
programs can be heard for few cents

of any sort.

week, providing picnic luncheon to be
eaten in some shady spot in the two

afternoon and evening programs.
