COOK PRoPHEslEO.

the polar controversy may be cleaned
from a letter dated October 3. 1905

reprinted by the London Times. The

detail Cook made his headquarters
at AnnoatOk. twenty miles north Of
Pcarys station at Etah. and remained
there until March 3 last. when he

quote:
Nothing has been heard OF DR..

This is just what happened. accord

Beauty Patches.


Beauty patches, which were rare
during the recent Pompadour period,
are reappearing in Paris as the result
of the anticipated revival of Louis
XIV. fashions. They are received
with great favor because French
m never entirely abandoned the
cunning little devices the ladies at
Louis court found SO useful. Recent
ly the patches have been seen mostly
on the stage and at costume balls.
Now the more daring leaders of So
ciety are laying in supplies. Beauty
patches are made of tiny pieces of
black velvet in the shapes of stars,
moons, and ~crescents. The patch is
placed on the side of the eye to make
the eye appear larger. It gives vivac-
ity Of expression. On the corner OF
the under lip it attentuates the face;
if, on the contrary, the woman wishes
to obtain a shortening effect she
places one mouche on the right cheek
and another on the side of the left
eye. In the time Of Marie Anto1n-

her extravaganza, appeared at court

Matinee Hat in Russia.

The matinee hat was bound to
reach Russia, and it has managed to
penetrate into the provinces. The
other evening a lady. an officers wife,
sat in the front row Of the parterre
Of the Novgorod Theatre. The lady
was wearing a hat which measured
ffty-six inches across. Fifteen peo-
pie craned their necks in a vain at
tempt to catch even a glimpse Of the
stage; in vain they besought the lady
to remove the offending hat. At last
q policeman was called In. He told
the lady that she had made herself
"a public nuisance" and he sum

the local police court. She was fined
a small sum and warned against
wearing such a monstrous hat, al
least in the theatre.-Lohdon Globe.
