to have him up near the North Pole
while l am sitting here"
Madame Nansen's faith in the sue
cess of the expedition and in the safe
return of her husband is sanguine, and
as grounds for her belief she gave me
an interesting account of DR.. Nansen's
plans and told how they had gradually
developed through many years of
study and how they had finally led to
the expedition.
Since his tweuty-second year DR..
hansen has been contemplating cross
ing the North Pole, and with tnat end
in view has been diligently studying
the Arctic Ocean currents. He no.
ticed the. two large currents flowing
down the coasts of Greenland out of
the Polar regions. Approximate cal
culatiOnS showed that an enormous
quantity of water was thus trans
ported southwardly. OF course it
would be impossible for the Polar
Ocean to continue to yield such great
volumes of water unless similar
streams We're somewhere flowing into
it. Dir. Nansen sought their source
on the opposite side of the pole off the
coast of Siberia, where he discovered
a great current which moved steadily
toward the pole. Not only did the
water flow toward the pole, but the
thick ice crust was carried by the
stream in the same direction. The
idea struck DR.. hansen that it would
be possible to drift across the pole
starting off the coat of Siberia and
coming ont by way of Greenland. This
idea was strengthened by the result OF
James Gordon Benefits jeanette ex-
petition of 1923. The Jeanette was
shipwrecked between 10 degrees and
rs degrees n. l.. and 155 degrees L. L.
G. Three years after some Of the
ships stores were found near Cape
Farewell. the southern extremity of
Greenland, directly opposite the pole,
from where they had been cast in the
sea. 1t was evident that they must
have been driven across the polar
regions.
DR.. Nansen considered this theory,
demonstrated and reasoned that if he
could have placed himself upon the
stores lost by the Jeanette he would
have crossed with them the Polar sea.
But this is far from the only proof of
a tranS-pOlar current. Every week
large quantities of drift wood arrive
on Spitzbergen Island and Greenland
coasts by the polar route from Siberia.
In this way the Eskimo is provided
with all the wood he needs for houses,
tools and fire. Without it he could
not exist. Furthermore DR.. hansen
caused experts to examine the earth
and rocks found on the ice which drifts
along the Greenland coast, and it was
decided that these were identical with
those of Siberia and must have drifted
Oh the ice across the pole.
In short DIR. Nansen concluded that
there is short current flowing directly

and is only rescued by the fact that it
is new to each in her turn. This espe-
cial one was declared complete sue
cess, however. The guests We're few
in number. The table was laid with a
cloth of pure white satin damask.
Round its edge was arranged real gold
colored satin ribbon in a series of low
ers' knots that encircled the space for
each cover. The flowers chosen were
pansies, the favorites of the young
bride to be. Before each guest was
big bunch of the purple beauties and
beside it "A souvenir bonbonniere paint
ed by the hostess herself OF these
the foundation for each was q box
made of water color paper with a band
of the blossoms painted, then cut on
the edge. Into the top was fitted bag
of silk and on the box proper, below
the flowers, in simple outlined letters
of gold, was that delightful bit from
Midsummer Nights Dream
"A little western flower,
Before milk-white, now purple with
Loves wound.
And maidens call it love in idIeness."
On this occasion there was no uni
formity of costume but by a happy
manipulation of light the whole eff
feet was rendered delightfuland har-
monious. Tiny lamps set in silver can
delabra and surrounded by masses Of
pansies lighted the table, or at least
spread their glow over the whole,
through the medium of shades of vel
low silk edged with fall of fine gold
fringe. The real illumination, howev-
er. came from big lamps set in corners
and made apparent by their soft warm
rays rather than because of any re-
markable decorative effect Each was
or ample size and supplied with a
burner that made light. and each was
shaded with delicious yellow silk of
that tone which means a warm radi-
ance rather than pronounced colored
light. Under their influence the diners
and the decorations alike looked their
best and the hostess had the satisfac-
ton of seeing her guests make up a
picture perfect in its way

the opinion that neither of these Is
equal in good taste or beauty to the
better combinations of velvet, cloth

These are novelties in the use of fur:

groups of blurred chine flowers in deli

terial so dignfied and rich as fur used

of a dealer who says that less than 200
silver foxes are taken in all the world

ly, go to Russia to be worn by princess

$500. and fox is absurdly small. But
dealers are enterprising. What will

There were no couvenirS. The girls

This was DR.. Fridjof Nansen's fare
well to his countrymen when he set
out on his adventurous voyage in his
stout little ship the Fran; and it has
been realized There is to-day no
more popular name in all Scandinavia
than his.
The thoughts of the people are kind,
but they are gloomy. Few of the Nor
wegians expect that Nansen will ever
again see home. 1t is a pleasure to me
to call attention to some exceptions,
to his friend and comrade and above
all to his devoted wife, and to tell
some of the reasons why they are
confident that the problem of the Pole
is even now being solved, that some

Of Nansen. According to the most
accurate calculation he said, 'three
years, at least, will be required foi
the journey to be completed, and if
we receive any information before the
expiration of that time, it is likely to
be tidings of misfortune"
This was reassuring, but my scepti-
cism was not completely eradicated
until it became my good fortune,
through a friends invitation. to meet
the charming young wife of the ex-
plorer. and from her lips hear an ex-
PLANTATION of the principles upon which
her husbands plan is founded.
DR.. Nansen's home is picturesquely
situated at Lysaker, suburb of
Christiana. Here live his wife and
daughter. The former an intellectual,
vivacious and cheerful young woman,
the latter a beautiful little girl about
two and a half years of age Here
they wait his return in characteristic
Norwegian home, in every part of
which mementoes of the absent voy-
ager meet their eyes. A bust of DR..
Nansen is the prominent object in the
parlor. In every corner on every little
stand and table are photographs and
paintings of the distant husband and
father. The walls are decorated with
paintings representing Arctic scenes
