the Girl Scouts will enjoy the camp
and all of its equipment after the de-
parture of the Pioneers, who prepared
TO leave upon the arrival of the girls.
A hot dinner and an ice cream treat
were all ready at noon for the young
sters in camp, and all tents, cots and
other paraphernalia were in perfect
order. With this smooth beginning,
and the plans ahead, good time is as
sured. The girls are very proud of
the fact that they have earned almost
all of their Camping Fund. Since
they have worked hard for it, they
mean to enjoy the coming ten days to
the utmost

and swimming. Miss Bristow, of the
Alexandria Red Cross, is to give the
girls a talk on Hygiene for Girls,
while NJ. David Jones, U. S. n. will
instruct them. in semaphore signatl-
ing. and in various types of knots.
The Scouts are also indebted to Mrs.
H. B. Cation for her constant help and
work, not only in raising funds for
camp, but in planning and purchasing
the food supply.

CHAPTER %
PICTURES, WOMEN AND SKIRTS

The favorite subjects Of artists IN
the Stone Age were animals. Hun
dreds of pictures of mamoths, bison,
horses and reindeer have been found
upon the walls of caves, with now and
then a sketch of bear, wolf, duck,
swan, fish or pig.
Never do we find these old painters
making images of the stars or the
moon. Their minds were still ann.
They probably thought little ABOUT the
wondrous lights of night.
Neither are trees or lakes seen on
the walls of caves.
Even pictures of human beings were
much neglected. There are lew
places. however, where Stone Age ar
lists made pictures of men and wo-
men. Two of these places are rock
shelters near Alpera, Spain. They con-
tain 20 pictures of human beings,
painted in red and brown. Only three
are of women, but they are highly IN
teresting. The accompanying pictures
are from this group.
The face of the woman TO the LETT
can be seen plainly. Notice the high
forehead. The hair seems short. The
nose and chin are sharp.
How thin both women look from the
waist up! The narrow waists remind
one of wasps. Very likely the thin
ness is due to poor work by the artist.
1t would be hard to imagine that wo-
men of those days could have been
so foolish as to bind themselves with
anything like corsets!
Most interesting Of all are the
skirts. Stone Age pictures contain the
first proof we have that such gar
ments were worn. wonder how Il
happened that women ever began 10
clothe themselves in such a fashion.
The skirts are long, which IS also
surprising.
Other pictures, however, show wo-
men wearing short skirts. Near the
village Of Cogul, Spain, is a Stone
Age picture of nine women grouped

lecture will thrill and inspire all who
hear it. Be sure you are IN his aud
fence.
Fifth-On the fifth night Turn
to the Right" Aren't you delight
ed? We are. To present this com
edv that will live forever" has been
a long unfulfille1 ambition. It was
difficult to secure the rights 10 the
play. But we finally won out and
YOU are to be congratulated. The
cast, directed by John A. Regain,
whom many of you will recall as
the quite so" deacon in "Polly OF
the Circus" will be competent, and
the costumes and scenery viii in
sure an artistic production. Thlii
play ran 443 nights in New York.
1t will be in your town only once.
Don't let your friends miss it.
Sixth-On the last night comes
Ralph Bingham. This man-o'-fun'
has been before the public since he
was six years Of age. His verSatal-

He puts himself into his humor. He
is always 100 per cent success.
Hear him on the last night, Joy
Night"
We should like to mention each
event in detail. Space will not per-
nit this. but be convinced. We are
presenting Quality Programs for
Everybody"
This quality has been improved
each year despite rising costs. Since
1914 our average cost has increased
SO IA per cent. We have asked the
people who believe in Chautauqua
to meet about 30 per cent of the
increase. BY rigid economy, ard by
expanding our movement so as to
reduce the overhead cost per town.
we have maintained and improved
the quality of the program. The
program for 1922 is our star wit
ness.
We invite you to be present when
this program is presented in your
town. An investment in Chautauqua
is an investment in yourself, your
family. your town. Investments in
thest things paw lasting dividends.

Ch0utauquG

You probably have inquired;
What is Chautauqua?
Chautauqua is an Incorporated,
educational institution of which
Alexandria is an integral part and,
under its charter-no pecuniary
profit can accrue to anyone assOcia-
ted with it.
Its only purpose Is to serve the
people of the supporting communi-
ties by imparting the constructive
influence of inspiration and Optl-
miSm. II is thought that Chautau-
qua is one of the most potent in
Strumentalities for combating the
destructive and false propaganda
and misguided efforts which now
encourage widespread unrest and
tend to attack the vitalS of proven
American Institutions. 1t also pro-
VideS high-claSS entertainment
whica cannot be equalled anywhere
at the price asked.
IL Is believed that every citizen
of Alexandria should be intensely
interested IN the welfare of Chau-
tau9ua' therefore You are most ear
neStlE requested and urged to
Boost Chautauqua in order that its
helpful influence and eniovable
program may be shared nv every
one of the entire community.
