COMMANDER PEARY
Discovers Another North Pole and
Nails Flag.

The announcement Of Commander
Peary that he has discovered the North
Pole rivets the attention Of the entire
civilized world.
Whatever question of priority might
exist between the claims of Commander
Peary and DR.. Cook, there can be no
doubt that to the United States belongs
the unquestionable credit and lasting
renown of discovering the North Pole.
The remarkable coincidence of two
American announcements of such CO.
lossal achievement, coming within five
days, after centuries of fruitless endeay-
or, constitutes one of the most remark
able condolences in history.
The question of priority in reaching
the Pole now absorbs attention in this
country and Europe. That Peary will
claim to be the first discoyerer appears
to be definitely assured from the follow
ing:
First formal announcement has been
telegraphed from Indian Harbor, Lab
rador to all principal American and ge-
ographlcal societies of all nations, in
Guiding Japan and Brazil, specifically
announcing that the North Pole was dis
covered April by the Peary Arctic

we all like to know just what novel
ideas in the millinery line Fash

charming small hats and tur-

idea is the large Cavalier
shape. Fine silk velvet is often
used as a covering for the entire

DRESSY EFFECTS.


In evening frocks and in fact
in dressy gowns of all sorts there
is at present a perfect rage for
changeable effects and the lowell
est of changeable silks and shaded
chiffons have been brought out.
Black nets and laces are combined
most effectively with color for
evening wear and old Chantilly

of family treasure chests and
draped over party frocks and re-
ception gowns.

VARIETY IN THE NEW MODES.


This fall no woman need despair.
The new styles contain such a great va
riety of models that it is possible to
clothe any figure becomingly. For
slender woman the new cuirass frocks
are extremely chic if well made, but it
must be remembered that the variation
of an inch or two in length of yoke or
cuirass will make all the difference be-
tween frock that is becoming and one
that is the reverse.
The costume consisting of waist and
skirt is again in fashion. This never
exactly went out of style among SEN
sible people, but in the host of princess
effects and one-piece frocks it has SEEM
ed almost passe for the past year.
