GETAWAYS CHAUTAUQUA.

There was probably never time n
the history of the Chautauqua move,
ment in ottawa when there was so
little advance excitement over the
approaching event as this year, not
withstanding the fact that the as
sembly is but three days off and prep
arations are all but completed. Even
the chautauqua meeting held by the
Baptist Brotherhood of last yer
caused more comment. The meeting
has been advertised and good efforts
put forth to insure its success, and tie
program as published should appeal
to the popular taste
What does 1t mean? Is the de
mand for entertainment OF the chat
tauqua character sifted down to bat
comparatively few people, or has the
chautauqua become so much a MAJ
ter of course that its opening attracts
but little attention?
Ottawa, for the good name OF the
city if for no other reason, cannot al
ford to see this years meeting any
thing but success. II it has lacked
boosting up to this time it should be
now on. There is an abundance and
then some of entertainment which ii
no way approaches a good or even
fair chautauqua program. 1t not only
furnishes a fine days or evenings en-
tertainment, but il is really wort

of people, particularly young people
in OTTAWA who have attended tht

This is not often the case. There is
q lot of good entertainment from Il

is clean and worth while. If you have

C7N1HE members of the Drama League
 were pleasingly entertained yes- terday afternoon at the Jeffer- son theatre when Miss Haile Ward, di- rector or dramatics at the high school, presented her pupils in the charming comedy. "A Widow by Proxy"
 These young people displayed much talent. And the play which was full of amusing incidents, was well received by the audience. which was liberal in applause.
 Miss Mary Blackburn. who took the part of the widow showed ability and training, in the amusing manner in N hich she impersonated the part.
 The play relates the story of a young widow, who, having lost her young hus- hand in the war, is obliged to appear before his two maident aunts in order to receive a fortune, which she has fallen heir to through her marriage. She refuses to enter the home of her husbands relatives, who have re- mounced her. hence her friend appears and represents her in order to gain for her friend the husbands fortune.
 The appearance upon the scene of the Husband complicates affairs as does the presence of the young soldier, the former having been reported lost and whose appearance creates many more amusing situations.
