season ticket is $2.50, and for this in
vestment you 'healr fourteen attrac-J
Hons, including tho play "Little
Women," and tho comic opora "Plna-I
fore" Woro you to sco tho play and
"and tho opora nt tho local theatro you
would pay $1.50 for a reserved scat to

Tho program at tho coming Chautau
qua Is by far tho strongest wo have
over had; It Is an entortninmcnt coulrno
positively worth moro than double the
prico asked for a seiison ticket.
