In later years the ice conditions

were known to be before. The Danish

OF the cool breezes that sweep the
town in the late afternoon. New fall

and mulberry shades are. worn with
lawn frocks of last July, and white
canvas shoes peep out from a new
plaid wool skirt in a shamefaced man
ner. Some women wear white linen
frocks under long ulsters of fall
weight and others sport their sum-
mer coats of white duck or linen over
dark cloth skirts. Sartorially the sea-
son is betwixt hay and grass, and the
American woman's reputation as the
best dressed in the world is having
pretty close shave.

LavenderlDall.

Lavender DalI. ...
Stalks and flowers! of the old-time
sweet herb, lavender, have been made
into something very charming, by the
artistic woman of to-day. To do it,
she gathers the flowers on stalks
about ten inches lonk, drying them
carefully, Then, taking a bunch of
stalks an inch in diameter and press
ing them closely together, she turns
the flowers inward at the top, forming
a ball and weaving narrow green sat-
in ribbon in and out between the stem
let's, dainty basketlike top is formed
The ends Of ribbon are then wound
closely at intervals around the stems
until their ends are reached. A
length of ribbon at this point and one
at the flower end is Used to suspend
the ''stick," and long loops of ribbon,
forming two tassels, ara hung on these
suspending ribbons, still further beaut-
flying this fragrant lavender ball.

Dark blue, always such satisfactory
color, has brilliant rather than a
dead hue in this seasons model coats.
Bright olive green is also a favorite,
particularly with collar and cuffs of
fur, and for the child who takes care
of her clothes, there is no color better
suited to youth and beauty than a
light shade of tan.

Trimming for Evening Waists.

An excellent trimming seen on a
recently imported evening waist con-
sisted of wee bows of soft silk so made
that the general effect was that of
fluffy butterflies. The bows are made
with the double loops and long ends
which suggest the moth and both
loops and ends were edged with the
narrowest of Valenciennes-not, of
course, The fnser on One. .off the bows
was poised at the collar Of the blouse,
another at the line of the corsage and
another came just above the high gir-
die where it held in place a barbe of
exquisite lace. The butterflies were
not tightly sewed, but stitched airily
onto the goods so as to convey an
idea of potential flight.

/, 7,Th ere are now only, eheutA A29l miles,
Of shoreline to be surveyed to give
us a fairly accurate idea of dhe shape
of the island.
The Belgica party made a rough
survey of the unknown coast from
Cape Bismarck to the parallel of IS
degrees 16 minutes north latitude and
gave the name of Terre de France to
the new shores of Greenland they had
discovered. They report that Cape
Bismarck is not cape, as Koldewey
believed it to be, but is an island.
1t is not strange that the German
sailor should have made this mis-
take, for he wrote that his party climb
ed to the top of this landmark during
violent snowstorm, (which effectu-
ally prevented any great geographi-
cal acquisition"
The Belgica then turned back to
more southerly waters. To reveal 40
miles of unknown shore line is given
to very few explorers nowadays, and
the fact that the work was done in a
few weeks shows that luck is very
important element in polar explora-
ton.
The east coast Of Greenland has
now been explored from Cape Fare
we'll at the southern end of the island
to the Belgica's farthest, distance
of over 400 miles in straight line
and far greater following the shore
line.
What is needed now is a careful
exploration of the shore itself be-
tween Shannon island and Independ-
ence bay, with special view to the
discovery of Eskimo relics, if there are
any on the northeast coast OF Green

relics have since been found along
the coast, but the east Greenland ma
tives were never seen by explorers till
Holm discovered them in the fall of
1884 and lived with them for about a
year.
He found them in little settlements
at Angmagsalik and near it. and they
numbered about 500 souls. They had
never heard of their relatives on the
west coast or of the great world be-
.yond How did they reach the east
coast? 1t must have been ages ago,
for they have no tradition Of their mi

blood whom they left behind.
The prevailing opinion is that they
reached their present habitat by trav-

land If this is true the ruins of
their houses and other evidences of
their travels will doubtless be reveal
ed when the northeast coast is care
fully explored.
A we'll known Danish. explorer NAM
ed Erichsen, who lived among the
Smith sound natives of the west coast
for ten months, is now trying to organ

coast. His plan is to cross the inland
ice cap with party of Smith sound
natives and thoroughly study the
northeast coast e.om the land side.

Onions Boiled White,

Few housekeepers really know how
to boil onions so that they will come
out perfectly white; Pour boiling water
over them and remove the skins. Put
them in boiling salted water. When
they have boiled five minutes change
the water and change again after five
minutes. Boil half an hour, or until
tender, but not until broken. Drain off
the water, add milk to cover them,
and cook five or ten minutes longer.
Season with butter, pepper and salt.

When you are invited to dine with a
