place at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
L. S. Brown on Tuesday, July 4. when
Marguerite L. Brown and James W.

Rev. R. W. Farquhar. The ceremony
took place at 9 o'clock, the happy
couple leaving about noon for Dorris,
Cal., their future home.
The house was very beautifully
decorated, and the knot was tied as
the bride and groom stood under a
bower of white sweet peas. She
wore a dre.ss of white silk net and
carried a shower bouquet of white
sweet peas. The customary veil was
also worn, and in the presence of
two dozen friends the two were made
one. Miss Ruth Brown acted as
bridesmaid and Mr. Tarsier Brown
served as the best man. The dining
rqoni was in yellow and white and
the assembled guests immediately
sat down to a dainty wedding break

which a street should be maintained
until they have seen the remarkably
smooth and clean streets of Euro
pean cities. Their excellence, which
might easily he rivaled by American
streets,. Is due to the thorough meth
ods of construction and the high de
gree of engineering skill retained.
In a city the arrangement of high
ways must be such that the citizens
who traverse them in great numbers
may be enabled to reach their desti
nations with the greatest possible
dispatch, for a large part of the time
of the public is consumed in merely
going from place to place. The dail7
movements of the population should
thus be studied with the utmost thor
oughness and the streets laid out so
that access to the different parts of
the city may be had from all the oth
er parts in the most direct manner
possible.
In order to afford ample facilities
for traffic and at the same time to
avoid unnecessary outlays streets in
varying widths should be provided.
It will usually be found that streets
of three different widths will suffice
for practically all purposes; that is to
say, main thoroughfares, secondary
thoroughfares and local streets.
As a rule it is better to err on the
side of having streets too wide than
too narrow. A city should have as a
minimum 20 per cent of its area de
voted to streets, while 40 per cent is
a far better allowance. The streets
of the city of Washington, which are
unusually wide and Imposing, occupy
54 per cent of the city's total area.
A Prussian law of 1875, enacted to
cover the streets of Eerlin, prescribed
that the main streets should be ninety-five
feet or more in width, second
ary thoroughfares from sixty-five to
ninety-five feet and the local streets
from forty to slxty-fle feet. Another
standard for secondary German cities,
such as Duswddorf, Cologne, Frank
fort and Danzig, Is: Main thorough
fares 85 to 120 feet, secondary thor- !
oughfares 50 to 80 feet and local
streets 35 to 48 feet l US
iF.OPLE are hednnlng to realize more and more that there is but one way
to cttci.d Cliuutautjiia. and that Is to attend every day and see every pro
gram presented. The programs are all of such uniform qualltv that to
miss one is to miss a part of a good program that is only available onre a year.
And to attend Chautauqua economically one should be a season ticket
bolder. No department store ever offered such a bargain as the Reason ticket
to Chautauqua gives to the Chautauqua patron. You can attend the pro
grams at the rate of about lf cents each if you hold a season ticket, while If
yon bought single admission tickets to the Chautauqua at the gate you would
have to pay more than ?i for your week's entertainment. It is probably worth
the $0, all right, but when a season ticket can be bought for less than half it
seems to le folly to spend more. Economy Is the watchword of .today.
It is expected that more than two-thirds of those who attend Chautauqua
this year will be holders of season tickets. Season tickets are becoming popu
lar, and as anti-pocket book flatteners they cannot be beat
