"As chautauqua time draws near
again and as the country is settling
back to saner living, the people every
where are recognizing anew the value
of chautauqua as rallying ground
for common sense in business, conf
ldence in the future, unselfishness in
community life, and high Christian
conduct in personal affairs. The
chautauqua has established itself as
the great popular teacher of education
and progress in all realms of American
life. 1t is a distinctly Christian in
stitution and seeks to apply Christian
standards to the everyday conduct of
affairs.

his wife's dowry into Hungarian cur
rency and received in exchange a.
000, 900 crowns, the crown being quot
ed. seven to the lei.
After the honeymoon the young
husband found that his good opinion

crown was noW only iive TO the lei
Mr.. Klein thereupon bought back
his wifes dowry for 10. 900 200 crowns
and sent her aIl1 her dowry back TO
