The approach of the Yuletide seas

orations of mistletoe, holly and
Southern moss.
The rooms used for entertaining
greeted the guests with lavish
display OF mistletoe and holly from
chandeliers and windows; chrysan-
themums were used to good adyan-
tage in cut glass vases and the din
ing room was quite charming with
green and white as a color scheme
carried out in graceful arrangement
of moss and ferns.
The honoree wore an imported

a black picture hat.
Score cards with water color draw

of the games.
After a few games of merry pro.
gression, vocal selections were en-
joyed from Mrs. cecil Williams
and Miss Abby Hanna.
A total surprise to Miss Suth-
\ land was the kitchen shower that
Nconcluded the afternoon. A wheel
harrow, bravely decked in ever
Greens, was rolled in by the brides
maids and left at the feet OF the
hNoree. BuniCes, more or less mys-
4 terDus, peeped forth from its bed
and after the honoree had recovered
in some measure from her astonish-
ment she unwrapped them and read
the iingles that accompanied them.

more than one hundred of Great Brit
 aims most distinguished men. The late King Edward would nave at-
 tended had he not been stricken with
 his fatal illness. In welcoming him, Major Leonard Darwin, president of the Society, said:
 ''I stand here tonight, as repre-
 sentative of the Royal Geographical
 Society and armed with the full au- thority of it's council, to welcome
 you, Commander Peary, as the first
 and only human being who has ever
 led a party of his fellow creatures
 to a pole of the earth
 A vote of thanks to Commander
 Peary was proposed by Sir George
 Mares and seconded by Sir Lewis
 Beaumont.
 Among the distinguished audience
 which greeted Peary in Rome were
 Duke of the Abruzzi, the Marquis di
 San Giuliano, Minister of Foreign
 Affairs, and the Marquis Capelli.
 Tn contrast to the action of Euro
 pean nations" says Hampton's Maga-
 zine, which is publishing serially
 Pearys story of the discovery of the
 North Pole, editorially, the country
 of his birth and lifelong allegiance,
 for whose glory he has walked for
 years hand in hand with death, whose flag he unfurIed at the top of the
 earth, seems niggardIy in paying hon.
 or to Peary. Scientific bodies, rulers
 municipalities of foreign lands have united in crowning Peary with the Iaurels that are his due. As the final conqueror of the fastneSses of the North; as the explorer who in his own person, by dint of toll, tenacity fearlessnesS, and inVincible purpose has won against odds which for three hundred years have VanquiShed brave and distinguished explorers; as the man who has again proved mans power to conquer the hostile forces of Nature, these great European bodies have felt that in honoring
 The highest authorities in the world have bestowed on him the greatest
 gifts in their power"
 In the July number of Hampton's which has appeared, Peary for the first time begins to present his proofs These will be continued in the Au- gust number, which will shortly be published. These proofs consist of minutely detailed descriptions of scientific observations made by Peary and other members of his party, and | a detailed day-by-day account of his progress, system of marches, organ | ization and supplies. Without men, ] tioning the name of Dr. Cook, Peary | makes it plain in his narrative that | without his extensive supplies, SUD- porting parties and system of march | ing, it would be impossible for a single white man to make his way | over the perilous Polar ice and over 1 come almost inSuperable obsta cles, to | the Pole.
 The installment of Commander lPeary's story in the July Hampton' s
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-07-09

No American, perhaps, ever re- turned to his native shores, after a tour abroad, loaded withso many honors bestowed by great scientific societies as Commander Robert E. Peary. When he landed in New York a few days ago (June ID he brought with him six gold medals and one silver medal-the highest honors of the most distinguished for eign scientific bOdieS-and the silver model of a ship presented to him by the Royal Scottish Geographical Soc iety. Hailing him as the discoverer of the North Pole, thus Europe, in ironic contrast to his native country, officially put it's seal of approval up- on Pearys feat.
 Commander Peary's whirlwind vis- it to the leading foreign cities was the occasion of series of wildly demonstrative ovations. In his per son the distinguished authorities in law, science and literature of foreign nations recognized American pluck, persistence and successful achieve ment, and accepted the verdict of the National Geographic Society of his own country, which passed upon his proofs and awarded him a medal on November 3, 1909.
 During his trip abroad Peary told the story of his quest twice in Lon don and Berlin and once in Rome, Vienna, Budapest, Brussels, Antwerp, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol and Manchester. While in Edin- burgh, Peary was presented by the Royal Scottish Geographical Society with an eXquisitely chased silver ship. The model, which is of the type of the vessels used in the latter part of the sixteenth century, stands two feet high and weighs 100 ounces. It is three maSted and under full sail. Gold medals, hailing him as the dis coYerer of the North Pole, were pre- scented to him by the Hungarian Geo. graphical Society, the Royal Italian Geographical Society, the Royal Geo. graphical Society of Antwerp, the Imperial German Geographical Socie- ty of Berlin, the Royal British Geo. graphical Society, the Royal Belgian Geographical Society, and the Aus trian Geographical Society, which gave him the von Hauer medal, it's highest award. In contrast to his own country, which refused him ma tional honors because he had not publicly submitted proofs, being pre- vented from doing so by a contract with Hampton's Magazine, which is printing his story, these foreign coun- tries offered honors without question and with an implicit confidence in Peary's claim.
 With 10000 persons frantically cheering him Commander Peary re- ceived his most enthusiastic ovation in Prince Albert Hall, London when he delivered lecture under the aus pices of the Royal Geogra phicaI Society. On the platform, with rows lof decorations on their breasts. were

takes him and his party up to 87 de- grees, 12 minutes, which was beyond his previous farthest North. Up to March 22d, because of the slight alti- tude of the sun, no observations had been taken. On that day Peary or dered the Eskimos to build a wind shelter, behind which Marvin took a meridian altitude. The result of these first observations, Peary says, gave their position as approximately 85 degrees, AS minutes north alti
 tude. Peary's plan was to have Mar win take all observations up to the point where he turned back and Bartlett take them from that point to his farthest north. This was done in order to save the explorers eyes and to have independent observations with which to check the route. In the forthcoming installment in the August number of Hamptons Com mander Peary will tell of his dash to the Pole, describe the boreal cen ter and tell his sensations at the point where everything is south.

day, May IA. This is one Of those
quiet melOdramaS that burns little
powder. Still abOunding in heart
interest and thrilling climaxes, it
tells a beautiful love story of the
plains, with just enough comedy to
relieve the intensity of the dramat-
ic situations. The story is told IN
five acts and the Company carry
all of their own scenery and stage
equipment for the entire produc-
ton. The plot and scenes are laid
/ along the Rio Grande River in the
early nineties, a very interesting
period in the history of Texas. Mr..
Ernest Stout, the author, has
added but very little fictitious en-
bellishment to the already interest
| ine facts. The costumes which are
historically correct is a feature OF
the performance. "A Texas Rang
er" comes to Monroe highly recon-
mended.
