THE woman between 25 and 40,

the freshness of youth, tempered by
the ripeness of maturity. II she is

In her views. She has learned to
know human nature and adapt herself

woman needs more than personal
beauty. At 80 and upward the best
side of woman's nature shows to the
best advantage. and IT. is then that her
attractiveness is at the zenith of her
power. And she has repose and rest

ASSUMED TO BE TRUE.
How the News Was Received at Co.,
 penhageu.

Copenhagen, Sept That Fred erick A. Cook, the American explorer, reached the north pole in his expedi- tion which has just ended is given full credence here, although details are lacking of his intrepid dash across the ice. message was received at the colonial office here early today via Lerwick, Shetland Islands, announcing that Dr. Cook had reached the pole on April 21, 1908. This dispatch was sent by Greenland official on board the Danish government steamer, Hans Egede, which passed Lerwick at noon today en route for Denmark
 It read: We have on board the American traveller, Dr. Cook. who reached the north pole April 21, 1908. Dr. Cook arrived at Upernavik in May, 1909. from Cape York The Esqui- maux of Cape York confirm Dr. Cooks success, but that he was bound to se- crecy. Director Ryberg, head of the Greenland administration bureau. said tonight that he did not expect to re- ceive any further details of Dr. Cooks achievement before the arrival of the Hans Egede, which probably would be on Saturday
 Ryberg informed the American minister, Dr. M- F. Egan, that Dr. Cook had reached the north pole The announcement caused the greatest en- thusiasm and many Americans called at the legation to congratulate the minister. The legation was crowded with visitors tonight. The noted ex- plorer. Commander Hovegaard, leader of various expeditions, who said he was convinced the message was true.

RECEPTION IN LONDON.
All Classes Widely Interested in the
 Achievement.

London, Sept. 2.-Dr. Cooks feat has created the greatest interest among all classes here, especially the geographers- The brief telegram con- cerning his achievement was printed in the papers. together with sketches of Cooks record and all the known preliminaries of his expedition, were read with the utmost eagerness and there is the greatest curiosity to hear the story of the explorers triumph.
 The news was immediately sent to King Edward at Marienbad and he displayed the greatest interest. The London morning papers give this the premier place and print every avail able item concerning Dr. Cooks ex- plorations. Editorially. however, the papers in general, while giving un- grudging honor to Cook as a man of reputation, well fitted to achieve the triumph. are inclined to skepticism and think it advisable to wait details from Dr. Cook himself.
 Some disappointment is expressed that Great Britain has been robbed of the enyied honor. but there is satis- faction that it goes to a man of Anglo-Saxon blood, bearing a name already famous in sea story. The Chronicle says: All honor to the daring man who. having been given up for dead, has appeared with the news of victory"
 Captain Robert F. Scott, commander of the British Antarctic expedition of l9OO-O4, believes the absence of Franke, Cooks only civilized compan- ion, placed Cook in an awkward po- sition if he wished to return with cor roborative evidence. but it could scarcely be expected that when he saw the possibility of reaching the pole simply with the aid of the Esquimaux that he would forego the journey only because he was not accompanied by another civilized man.
 Scott said that if an American had succeeded in reaching the pole, it must be remembered that that country is on top in pioneer efforts. Great Britain still holds the premier position in Ant arctic exploration and he added that he hoped Englishmen would not let slip the honor of the conquest of the south pole, by neglect such as had been shown lately in north pole explora- tiOn.

WORD TO HIS WIFE.
The First Word From the Explorer to
 New York.

New York, Sept. 1-"Successful. We'll. Address, Copenhagen"
 (Signed) FRED"
 Full of meaning if successful" were interpreted to indicate that he bas reached the north pole the foregoing message, exasperating in its briefness, was received today in New York from Dr Cook. whom the latest cable ad- vices tonight credit with having reached the pole.
 Mrs. Cook was not at her Brooklyn home, so the dispatch was received by Dr. R. T. Davidson. a personal friend of the explorer. who made its con- tents known. Then he flashed the good news on to Mrs Cook.
 Brief as it was. it was the first news she had received from her hus- band since March F, 1908, when he wrote from Cape Hubbard, on the edge of the Polar ice sea, on the northwest side of Ellesmereland. At that time he advised his corhpanion, Rudolph Franke. then stationed at Etah, Greenland, with supplies, ts wait there until June for his return, but in the event of Dr. Cooks failure to appear, to proceed to America
 Franke waited. as instructed, but as Dr. Cook failed to return he caught the Peary auxiliary ship and reached New York last fall. Since that time lDr Cooks fate has been a mystery. There was, of course, the ever pesent probability that he had perished. and it will be recalled that a relief ship is now en route to Etah, where she is due the middle of this month. This vessel, the schooner Jeannette, left St. Johns about two weeks ago with the double purpose of searching for Dr. Cook, and taking supplies to Peary.
 Dr. Cooks message was dated at Lerwick, Shetland Islands, the first available point of transmission in the
