rather, every body in this part Of Maine
oughkto know By this time al abou
the Chautauqua. II any one doesn't, q
mere outline Of physical facts Il may
90 stated that the Chautsuqua 10 held OF
the county fair grounds, In big TEN
belonging to the Community Chau
tauquas; that its financial success ID
guaranteed by considerable number oil
business men and citizens of Paris and
Norway. who have signsd q contract
and are organized into Q local associa.
ton; and that the Chautauqua ID fully
worth while for everybody.
Season tickets admitting to all the ten
entertainments, afternoon and evening,
should be bought, and bought of the
local committee. These tickets are
transferable, so that they can be used
by any member of the family at any
time. and admission by them is much
cheaper than to pay the single admis.
sions which are charged at the gate.
But be sure to buy your season tickets
OF the local committee, a. by that means
the local association gets the benefit,
while II they are bought at the gate the
proceeds all 60 to the management.
We have no illwill against the manage
ment, but We want the benefit to 90 to
the local association.
This doesn't tell what the Chautauqua
actually is. Well, II you don't know, It
Is series of ten entertainments, by
high-class musicians, lecturers and enter.
tanners, who are engaged for the entire
season on circuit, appearing every day.
By this means their services are secured
at less cost to the individual member
OF the audience than could be secured
in any other way. Each day there is
lecture, and each day there is some other
form of entertainment.
But II you want to get right into 1t,
and learn just what the Chautauqua is,
you have to 90 to it, and see lite informal
but not undignified sociability, be edited
and amused by its entertainers, and
absorb its general atmosphere.

dve days. We confess to being most
frankly interested in the lecture Of DR..
