the remaining four days of the Cnau-
tauqua excepting Sunday the Junior
ChautauQua will meet bright and early
in the forenoon of each day. Perhaps
on one of these days $50 o'clock
morning hike will be taken. These
details will be worked out and ex.
planned TO the boys end girls by the
play leader.
There will be story hours, play
hours, breakfast picnics and world of
happy events TO take away the mono ,
tony and drag of hot summer days.
The play leader will tell you all

e1vance, you should have cup, spoon,
some breed and butter, Two eggs, salt
and Pepper and come bacon or weinies
all done up in nice little bundle req y

ing. Maybe you can rustic up small
frying pan also.
