MRS. NANSEN'S
LONELY HOLIDAY.
She Sings New Year Ballads
While He Hunts for the
North Pole.

The loneliest, coolest New Years
days on record are spent by Frau Nan
sen, who sings carols in her Norwegian
home while her explorer husband
searches far away for the North pole.
Yet Mrs. Nansen sings gladly for she
knows that she is carolling in obedience
to him, as well as for the joy of the
earth.
When DR.. hansen married Eva
Sars, ten years ago, it was agreed be-
tween them that there should be no
material change in the methods of their
hVes. The husband was to continue his
work of exploration, and the wife was
TO teach music, as she had done for
years. This plan they have pursued
with few exceptions. Sometimes Mrs.
Nansen has accompanied her husband
in his winter skee runs in the noun
tains and valleys of Norway, and she
has frequently threatened to go with
him to the Arctic regions, but he has
persuaded her to stay at home.
So she has let him go without her,
and when he is away she teaches music
and cares for her little daughter, Life.
or as the Norwegians call it. Liv. Liv's
father left her once when she was
only baby and for months her mother
did not know whether he was alive
or not.
The Nansen home is at Christiania.
Norway. It is a beautiful house at the
foot of wooded hill, with fair mead
ows and fragrant pine woods, and is
an ideal retreat for one whose life
work takes him away into the bleak
cheerlessness Of Northern winters so
often. The home is called Godthaab
Villa.
Frau Nansen has the reputation OF
being the finest ballad singer in Nor
way. She is petite woman of brunette
beauty a woman who would be hand
some anywhere, among any people. She
dresses in the latest Partisan styles.
Her house is filed with works or
art and curiosities from all parts of the
world, including trophies of DR.. Nam
sens Greenland and other explorations
and his many medals. The house is
constructed of pine wood trunks of
trees, giving it most picturesque APP
pearance, inside as well as out. The
furniture harmonizes with it.
There are the carved dragons
heads of the Morse people in the furni-
ture as we'll as in the projections Of
the house itself, for the Nansens love
the Morse; and one is taken back to

an OLD waist can be made into new
one by the use Of chiffon @
The easiest way is to cover the
waist entirely bur a dressier way is
10 rUfffe it.
IL IS the season of all day enter
taininents stretching from a morning
reading to a grand opera matinee,
ana, soing from one to another, leaves
very little time for changing gown,
so milady dons a chiffon collarette and
muff. With her seyerest tailormade
gown it gives the air Of frou-frou
creation.
THE chiffon muffs are the latest
fad. OF course they are made of satin
and padded, but so covered with chif-
fon that at first glance one thinks how
femininely inconsistent they are Chit
fon TO keep ones hands warml With
them are used jewelled chains or
strings of tiny pearls.
The very quaintest one was made
of owlet feathers, white chiffon and
the most exquisite artificial orchids
the delicate mauve ones. The boa was
a band of the downy feathers, be-
tween deep ruchings of white chiffon.
About six inches from each end was
tied one large orchid. The vest ae-
companying was full blouse effect OF
white chiffon and mauye ribbon

The dear little muff which hung
by pearl and silver chain was made
of mauve satin, but almost covered
with the soft brown owlet feathers, and
an owls head with great round eyes
peered solemnly from the chiffon ruff1es
and mauve orchids. A very smart
ruche was of white tulle, very full and
edged with large black chenille dots.
White and black promise to be
worn most, and, even in the ostrich
bOas, one sees a short white boa with
black tips and white uncurled feather
ends.
Next in favor is black and violet.
For instance, a small cape of black
ostrich feathers and jetted black tulle
had a single violet ostrich tip placed
on the left side.
Very odd indeed are the yoke ruff1es
shown in all the delicate evening
shaCes. They are simply two chiffon
ruft1es, hung by satin ribbons which
are tied on the shoulders, and the
ruf1les fall yoke length back and front
and over the sleeves.

since then fashions and manners have
been made for dogs until ones pet
must arise early and study all day
long in order to be as up-to-date as
the rest of the dog world.
The very latest for pet dogs is the
monogram which is tattooed upon the
animal in some conspicuous spot to be-
come a permanent mark OF ownership
and personality.
The favorite tattoo IS a monogram
which is placed upon the dogs breast
Just below his collar bone. Either his
own monogram, CT that of his mis-
tress is used and a fancy scroll work
may or may not be placed around it.
To get the monogram upon the
dogs breast a professional tattooer is
employed, who works with a sharp nee
die pricking the pigments into the
tender skin. until it iss perfectly tat
tooed. There are several professionals
who make a specially of this work, and
can tattoo a very pretty monogram in
very few minutes The process is
necessarily painful. but SO keen is the
dog to any Improvement upon himself
that he patiently endures the pain.
Many professional tattooers are now
working upon pet dogs. being quick to
see that there is money in the work
lust at present They make regular
appointments, and call to see the vic
tim at the set time. He. poor fellow
having been exercised and fed, is found
nicely warmed. in a comfortable blan-
ket. ready to be worked upon. At first
the dog shows by NUT signs that he
does not like the feel, of the needle
but on being admoni ed by his mis-
tress he subsidies and atiently endures
the tattoo without & srowl. Next day
the tattooer calls tt see the patient
and, if the work is complete allows
him his liberty again. Otherwise he
is worked upon further and kept in
warm quarters. with the finest and
softest food furnished him at inter-
walls as though he were a baby
Ugly dogs are slow to tattoo, be-
cause they will not allow the tattooer to
prick them more than once or twice; so
he must make a great many trips and
even then the monogram is ragged and
out Of shape. Fox terriers are the most
patient Of all.
No owner Of a fine dog allows other
than professional hands to touch her
pet. and 3 monogram for Fido Is as
expensive as one for his mistress.

sleeves are buried in the trunk under
the light yard skirts, and the crinoline
is heaped on top of both. Dame fash
ion is busy unpacl1ing the new modes
which are exceptionally pretty.
For dressy occasions, and for even
ing use, she has quantities of chiffon,
soft, silky stuff, which is most decora-
tive. 1t is used upon waists for drap-
cry, ruffies and trimmings. On capes
chiffons are much seen and neck or
naments are as numerous as the sands
of the sea.
RECEPTION WAISTS.
For New Year Day reception, chif-
fon is Indispensable. As a hostess of
40 expressed it, standing under the
searching electric lights of a big chan
delier; ''a few yards of chiffon will do
a great deal for one in d trying situa-
ton" Upon young trim figures with
fresh faces it is lovely to a degree
For house waists the favorite trim
ming is the ruffie which is used very
freely. Wais!s are ruffled from stock
to yoke, and the vest is covered with
soft frills of chiffon. For house use

NO WRINKLES

Wrinkles come from a drying out

make wrinkles while a proper massag e
Will do away with them.
A prominent authority on facial
treatment says: six drops of olive oil
carefully massaged about the face and
throat, left on over night, and washed
off with tepid water and no soap in
the morning, will do wonders in the
way of holding at bay those tell-tale
wrinkles that all women dread.
The treatment should be repeated
every third night, unless it is found
that this makes the skin too oily, wher
little longer interval may be observed
Use the tips Of the fingers and stroke
the oil in gently and firmly.

this ancient shelter of modern science.
The most modern thing in it is the
grand piano that stands in the centre
of the parlor. This piano has all the
latest improvements, and Mrs. Mans IN
plays it eXquisitely.
Although her husband is away from
her so much this brave little woman
makes the best of it. She knew before
marriage that her husband had life
work before him and that she must
be prepared to make sacrifices in the
cause of science.
She makes them and complains not,
although she would be less than a
woman did she not wish that some
day her husband would feel that he
has done enough for the world and
would rest in peace for the balance
of his days by his own hearthstone

DEpLoRED BY GOV. GAMBLER.
He Advises Negroes to Aid in Stamp.
ing Ont Crime.

Gov. Gambler of Georgia last night gave
the Associated Press the following state
ment on the burning Of Sam Hose near
Newman:
THE whole thing is deplorable, and
Hoses crime, the horrid details of which
have not been published, and are too hor-
rible for publication, is the most diabol-
ical in the annals of crime The negroes
of that community lost the best oppor-
tunity they will ever have to elevate them
selves in the estimation of their white
neighbors The diaboiical nature of the
double crime was we'll known, and they
owed it to their race to exhaust every
means of bringing Hose to justice.
This course would have done more to
elevate them in the estimation OF good
people and protect their race against the
mob than all the rewards and proclama-
years But they lost the opportunity, and
it is a deplorable fact That while scores
of intelligent negroes leaSers of their race,
have talked to me about the Pal metto
remotest way, alludfd either to the burn
ing of Palmetto, which provoked the lynch
ing, nor to the diaboETeal crime of Hose.
Il do not believe these men sympathized
with Hose or the Ralmftto incendiaries,
but they are blinded by race prejudice, and
can see but one side of the question. This
is unfortunate. They must learn to look
at both sides I want TO protect them
in every legal right iend against mob vio-
lence and l stand ready, TO employ every
resource of the state;in doing So but they
must realize that in. order to merit and
receive the protection Of the community
they must show a Willingness to protect
the community against tbs laWless element
Of their own race. ND -sEe nj I'M u. ..--
The good and abiding negroes must
separate themselves from the lawless and
criminal element They must denounce
crime and aid in bringing criminals to jus
tice, whether they be- black or white. in
this way they can do more to protect them-
selves than all the courts and juries in the
state can do for them. To secure protec-
ton against lawless whites they must show
a disposition to protect the white people
against lawlesS blacks"
