q number Of years he cruised in the
north as a whaler and sealer on Nor
wegian vessels.
Amundsen had his first taste Of ex-
ploration when In 1897 he went as
first officer with the Belgica on Ger
lach's Belgian polar expedition. From
what he learned of the work and ad.
venture of exploring on this trip and
from the second Norwegian polar ex.
petition of 1898 he became filed with
arctic ambitions of his own. He formed
the project not of attaining the geo
graphic pole sought by so many, but
Of trying the long-neglected North
west passage and approaching and
studying while on his way the little
known magnetic pole. Ross In his
expedition Of 1881 had made observa-
lions locating the magnetic pole and
studying its phenomena, but for some
sixty years his work had lain uncom-
pleted.
: Il took Amundsen several years to
prepare himself for his trip. His first
care was to study the subject Of mag
netism with that extreme and patient
thoroughness that characterized him.
He begrudged no time. For two years
he studied, first in Hamburg under
Neumayer, authority on magnetism;
A Berlin under Schmidt. and finally
n Wilhelmshafen under Bergen in the
meteorological station. His mental
preparatlon over, he spent two years
more in raising funds and QUILTING
hiB expedition.
The Amundsen expedition, says the
Nav York Sun, was perhaps the most
modestly appointed that ever went TO-
IMPOSES OF discovery into the ardu-
oug field of the Arctic. Its cost was
$4,000, large part Of this Amund-
een's own money. Frithjof Nansen,
~ Norwegian polar explorer. q close
friend and faithful helper Of Amund-
sens. helped raise another large part.
ansnndsen was finally able to put on
rom Christiania in the little Alton

trimmed with wreaths Of feathery
heather about the brim and top crown.
This hat, in shades of lavender, bears
an airy aigrette in blue and lavender
at the left and novel touch In the
bow Of blue velvet ribbon at the right
side. Such a piece Of millinery Is In
good taste for evening or day wear
and at any season.
In Fig. 2 one of the ready-made
shapes is shown, but 1t can be copied
fairly faithfully by sewing the braid to
wire frame like that pictured with
It. It Is the old, familiar, always
beautiful fiat hat with broad brim. In
the example shown the hat and plumes
are all in rose color finished with a
charming rose and sprig Of foliage.
A street hat is pictured in Fig. 3.
In this case a perfectly satisfactory
hat results from sewing the braid to
the frame without fullness. Its Very
simple and smart trimming is entirely
of ribbon. i is an ideal hat for the
tourist.
Perhaps the most effective Of all
these hats is shown in Fig. 4. This
hat is beautiful in almost any color.
The example shown, made for young
woman, is in a pink coral shade. the
velvet of the same color but darker.
The braid is rufled on the frame, and
the under brim Is faced with MESA
line silk matching the braid. Four
full loops Of velvet are thrust through
slashes in the crown. This hat is
very fine in black and in the new blue
and wisteria shades. 1t is striking In
white with black velvet bows, and can
be worn with all costumes in this chic
combination.
All the wire frames must be covered
with fine null matching the braid In
color, as a foundation to which the
braid is sewed. There are millinery
fabrics, very sheer, made for this pur-
pose. The braid is to be sewed with
silk thread also matching It in color.
These hats are within the scope Of the
home milliner, in fact about the most
satisfactory Of those she can make sue
cessfuliy. The braids are more or
less expensive, depending on the ma
terial Of which they are made. Some
of them are very cheap. The best are
very durable.

CHIFFON YELLED WITH LACE
Idea Of Past Seasons Returns to Us
with Renewed Expressions
Of Favor.

The idea brought out last year of
yelling lace with chiffon has come
back again with renewed vigor. It was
brought about by the necessity Of soft
ening the metal tissues which were
used against the neck and arms last
season; It spread TO lace. It Is rather
an absurd method on the face Of It.
yet It has quite a good many follow
ers, especially among the high-priced
designers.
II Is usually done with black chiffon,
and the claim is that this smoky ven
gives charm to the design Of the lace
beneath It. Whatever the points in
its favor or disfavor, It Is a prevalent
fashion. On afternoon frocks and
smart, boned blouses for one-piece
suits the small yokes and lower
sleeves are yelled with the finest q
black chiffon.
II Is always better when doing this
TO add q lining under the lace Of ST.
YER or gold net This gives brilliancy
to the black chiffon and keeps It from
deadening the gown.
II Is an expensive fad to use four
draperies for one effect. but the de-.
sgner Of today has no thought Of ex-

FAMOUS EXPLORER
Sketch Of ROaId Amundsen Who
Found Northwest Passage.
Norwegian Friend Of Or. Frederick A.
Cook, Only Man to Take Ship
from Atlantic to
Pacific.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Roald Amundsen,
now about thirty-seven years old and
with record behind him OF but a
single independent expedition, has
more or less proved himself one OF the
most competent arctic explorers who
have ever gone north. He Is the first
and the only man SO far to accomplish
the long-attempted feat Of taking a
ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific
by the Northwest passage. He has
made at point within a short dis
lance Of the magnetic pole the only
set Of complete polar magnetic obser-
yations ever taken. These achieve
ments, on which rests his fame, were
accomplished in the years 19OS-O5,
under conditions making them the
more remarkable. Amundsen's sue
cessful expedition was made at a cost
of only $4,000. in a tiny whaling
sloop, the Gjoa, of but 20 feet length
over all and Al tons burden.
Amundsen was born at Sarpsburg.
Norway, and in his childhood moved
with his parents to Christiania. His
parents destined him for medicine.
For one year he was medical stu
dent, but at his mothers death, when
he was 10 years old, he gave up the
intended career and went to sea. For

Consolidation Brought Forward
~ Again

The consolidation of the boroughs of
the island into one municipality is
again being agitated, and this time the
much discussed movement was started
by the directors of the Marine National
Bank at the instance of Thomas Mar
tindale. After the bank meeting last
Friday Mr.. Martindale was telling his
fellow members of the board how At
lantic City did things, how they pooled
their advertising fund and accomplish
ed great results. One thing led on TO
another until quite unconsciously the
subject of consolidation was preached
and received a boost that was quite
surprising. AS this board represented
the various interests of the whole is
land it was thought that it would be a
proper source from which to start the
movement and be known as the Ma
rine National Bank plan. 1t was also
thought that a government by COM
mission, the plan adopted some years
ago by Galveston and other western
cities, aud lately adopted by Bridgeton,
would be the ideal form of government
under consolidation. Then and there
a committee was appointed to work
up sentiment for the movement and
Its influence has permeated the whole
island from Grassy Sound to Wildwood
Crest, inclusive. On Tuesday at the call
of President Ryan a dozen citizens and
property owners met at the seacrest
and the subject was further debated.
There were present at this meeting Mr..
Ryan, J. Thompson Baker, Council
man John Taylor, w. H. Gerstel,
Robert j.. Kay, w. ]. HARRISON, Post
master Harris, Stanley Kalbach, V. G.
Reynolds, E. G. Slaughter, I. c. Ham,

Banks and Jed Dubois. MI. Ryan
was chosen chairman of the meeting
and Mr.. Reynolds secretary. The sem
timent of the meeting seemed to be
for consolidation, all realizing the
many advantages it would bring.
After discussing the subject a commit
tee was appointed to wait upon Baker
Brothers and see If they were willing
to have the Crest included. The meet
ing adjourned.
