Reused by the noise of the firing,
Emory was soon at the pike, followed
by Crook from Belle Grove and Wright
from his headquarters, the latter hav-
ing heard Kershaw's volley firing on
the Union left and Rossers light rattle
on the Union right. They all exerted
themselves at once to form line for
the defense of the road. Sheltered by
the fog till close at hand, and also
greatly aided by the clar,5r that had
gone on since the beginning of Ker-
shaw's attack, Gordon came through
the woods in direction nearly perpen-
dicular to the pike, and suddenly burst
upon the left flank of the divisions of
Kitching and Hayes, which had no in
trenchments. Already shaken by the
disaster of their comrades, who were
streaming through their camp to the
rear, the remainder of Crooks corps
broke under the formidable onsIaught

scientists owe the first discovery of
vegetable forms as part of the product
of the southern lands. Up to the year

lying Possession Island, it had been as

of vegetation of any kind belonged to
this inhOspitable tract of the south-a

terrestrial fauna as it was assumed to
be of a covering or partially covering
vegetation. Strangely contrasting is

BY ANGELO HEILPRIN.

After an interval of so years the
scientific world has again taken up the
matter of Antarctic exploration, and it
seems likely that during the coming
year much important information viii
be obtained regarding a region of the
earth's surface of which we as yet
know hardly anything, and whose area
covers not less than 45.OOOOO0 square
miles-about once and half that of
the United States. and equal to the
area of the great Chinese empire. II is
with good reason that at the last in
ternational geographical congress. held
in London in the summer OF 1925, the
first general resolution of recommend
atiOns embodied the statement that the
greatest piece OF geographical work
that should be Immediately taken up
in the present, was the exploration of

the years 1S40-1S42, has any systematic
research been conducted in this great
eXpanse of southern ice and water, the
ice barriers of which have for one rea-
son or another been assumed to render
access to its deeper parts impossible.
Yet, strange though it may appear, all
this superstition of inaccessibility was
based upon the experiences of gallant
seamen whose highest resource was
the sailing vessel, and to whom the
modern methods of Polar research, as
they have been developed within the
past quarter of a century, and particu-
larly in the last decade-the period
which compasSes the remarkable work
of Peary and NanSen-were practically
unknown. Whether in the Arctic or
in the Antarctic tracts the work that
was accomplished was done with the
assistance of a heavy equipment, in
efficient clothing, and a source of food
supply which knew little or nothing of
canned materials and that proper as

sCuTvy from the sailors Arctic dreams.
It is, indeed. a wonder that Peary, as
early as 1927, should, under such ad-
verse conditions, have attained so high
a northing as 50 degrees 40 minutes,
and that Ross. IA years later, should
have succeeded in forcing a passage
southwark to the surprisingly high
latitude of IS degrees 10 minutes south.
At the present time three expeditions
are being planned or actually being
placed in commission for the important
work OF discovery in the south polar
regions. At the head of one of these
will be the Norwegian, Borchgrevizk,

Salt Lake, Jan. 16.

Dear Hal:
Lend Me Your Wife all the week
is the startling request one sees or
the dead walls and in the show win
dows of the town. Interpreted, il
means that this week has been devoted
to Roland Reeds comedy at the
Grand. Speaking frankly, it can't be
said that the farce, for it's base fattery
to call il a comedy, has done much TO
swell the companys exchequer or to
enhance its artistic credit. It's laugh
able, certainly, but it's all built on so
fiimsy a foundation, that one gets ex-
asperated with herself for grinning
over it. After all's said and done, its
the motif of a piece that forms its real
test, whether the piece be tragedy,
comedy, farce, opera, burlesque or what
not; the French put it mere happily
than we can when they refer to the
raison d'etre of a piece; and 1 wonder
what reply Lend Me Your Wife" could
make if called on for the reason for its
existence? 1t would surely have to
scratch its head. It's dreadfully thin,
that notion that Mr.. Edwards has a
stern uncle who orders him by mail
to marry the first pretty girl he comes
across; that he writes his uncle that he
has already done so, and that he gets
a friends wife to masquerade as his
own to deceive the - lie when he
ZONES to pay them a visit. After you
get past that, and forget it, the thing
went with such breezy swish in the
hands of the players that it was in
fectiOuSly hilarious. Blakey had a great
load TO carry and did it wen around
three-quarterS of the course, tagging
somewhat on the home stretch; MIR.
Ross and Mr.. Edeson made two small
bits two big bits by their artistic
merit.
One of our new women has made her
self heard this week. Mrs. La Barthe,
whom We sent into the legislature on
the Bryan wave has taken a cue from
the Chicago city councilman and intro
duced d measure prohibiting the wear
ing of ladies head gear in theatres.
If her measure isn't smothered in its
cradle, and gets along as far as the
governors easy chair, it Will be anus
ing to see what he will do with ii. He
is sure to Sympathize with its object;
he is TOO regular theatre goer to do
otherwise. But as it will necessitate
the building of an addition to the Salt
Lake theatre, of which he is an Off
cial, inclination and duty may indulge
in a tug Of war in the gubernatorial
mind. As one woman who uncovers
her head in theatres as religiously as
she does in churches and who would
like to see the hat and bonnet nuisance
abated by law or any other way on
earth that would prove effectual, l re-
cord myself as hoping that the first
little barque Mrs. La Barthe has
launched on the sea of legislation may
steer safely through the narrows of
committee criticism and governors in
spection, and ride into the harbOr of
a permanent place in the Compiled
Laws. MARGE.

Ned Royles play seems to have
struck the New York fancy, for its
run, originally intended to be for one
week, has been extended to three OF
four. The Journal says that the house
last Monday night was packed, and
Hilary Bell, the worthy critic of the
Press, gives Mr.. and Mrs. Royle this
handsome ''send-off:"
Edwin Milton Royle, one of the most
indefatigable of our young authors,
has written a very good piece in Cap
tain Inpudence." This is a work OF
varied interest, combining the points
of comedy, drama and melodrama,
and possessing the neat dialogue and
good humor of the first, the interest
of the second and the thrilling situa-
tons of the third system of play-writ-
ing. In it's performance the author is
assisted by excellent players, chief
among whom is his wife, Selena Fet-
ter. who has uncommon gifts and suf-
ficent expression to place them we'll
before an audience. When the author
of this piece married its leading lady
our local stage lost an actress who
lent considerable charm to it. But now
Miss Fetter has exchanged metropoli-
tan applause for domestic happiness.
and it is stated that no performer
could play with more natural skill the
chief role in Mr.. Hoyt's story of a
"Contented Woman" 1t is Furthermore
argued that in writing and rehearsing
his plays Mr.. Royle receives much aid
from his wife. which is readily to be
believed, for Selena Fetter is an intel
ligent actress and ambitious. Augustin
Daily does not approve of married
couples on the stage, but we do, and
the compliments of the season are
herewith rendered to Mr.. and Mrs.

FRILLS OF FASHION.

Black net with chenille dots is
used for evening dresses.
The fashionable fan is veritable
toy, it is so small. The empire is
the approved style in the tiniest size,
and it is more beautifully ornamented
than ever.
Elton jackets of fur and cloth jackets
with wide fur revers complete the
most fashionable skating costumes,
which are often made of velveteen or
cordurov.
Velvet is the most fashionable ma
terial for short street coats. They are
edged with fur or plain, but the front
shows a full vest of some soft lace or
light-colored silk.
One of the latest Partisan novelties
in seal is a cape full and short enough
to meet the waist line, and trimmed
around a little way from the edge
with lines of gold braid put in three
groups Of four, three and two.
The sleeve which was worn in the
early part of the century is the latest
model shown just at present 1t is
close-fitting from the wrist, where it
flares over the hand to the elbow, and
above this is a puff which gathers full
into the armhole.
Coat bodices of light fancy brocade
silks are worn for afternoon dress with
dark skirts of cloth or silk. They have
the full soft vests of lace or chiffon.
a short. rippled basque lined with a
plain color. and a narrow belt of vel
vet or jeweled gallon across the back
and sides.
Gold braid and gold and silver
threads are a telling feature of dress
decoration this season, and boleros and
entire waists are made of cloth Of
sold. Military braid is employed for
belts, with gold clasp in rocco de-
signs. Gold effects in any form are
much sought after.
