F THERE is one thing lovelier than the modern evening gown, it is the modern wrap. And the average woman looks more charm ing in her evening wrap than in the gown-be it ever so handsome; for not every figure Is perfect, not every skin satiny white and firm as marble, not every carriage is graceful. The voluminous wrap covers up all defects in these lines and is In itself so grace full. so distinguished and so beautiful in coloring that 1t endues 1t wearer with a distinction and loveliness which Frequently she does not possess at all. Everybody who has stood outside the awning stretched across a pave- ment at some fashionable evening en- |tertainment, knows how fascinatingly beautiful all the women look as they pass quickly over the carpet and up the steps into the house. First dainty little foot, clad in captivating satin slipper, or perhaps little boot, high heeled and with gleaming but ! tons emerges from the carriage or Limousine. Then comes the bent head of the stepping figure, the exquisitely I VI VSoCo COllA UT G dlSO BicdIlllB WILL d |scintillating ornament. Then a slen- der figure-it looks slender, wrapped in the rich, soft folds of the rich, fur Trimmed wrap--fiashes past the open ling in the awning and vanishes tan .talizingly into the place of lights and |hower-perfumes and soft music.

 Brocaded velvets And Satins High In
 Favor.
 At least half of the winter evening wraps are of brocaded material. Some of the velvets with raised brocade pat Iterns are superb, and such a wrap bordered with sable, skunk or ermine l is almost as expensive as one made entirely of fur. Quantities of ma terial are used also, in these new wraps-the straight, narrow garment ie no more and a modern wrap, off the figure, resembles nothing so much as a huge, inflated bag with slashes cut at the sides for the arms. When the wrap is on, the yards and yards of rich fabric fall in lines of elegance and grace, but the cut of these wraps is hopelessly beyond the ken of the ordinary dressmaker for despite its bagginess and It's fitness the wrap must take on certain prescribed lines and these lines. in combination, with the voluminous folds require a skill ful hand in the cutting. it may well
 be believed. No matter how full 1t is at the front the back of the wrap must fall straight as plumb-iine from neck to heels and the folds must sweep forward and upward, giving long, sloping, flowing effect from the
 bust to the back of the knees. Viewed

 RENEWING WINDOW SHADES VA THEN not used for long period XV window shades often become
 worn and cracked, but they may be made to look like new. Lay the shades fiat on the floor and paint them with any color of oil paint desired.
 This paint can be purchased St hardware stores in small cans. First paint one side and when dry turn the shade over and paint the other side. Then when the shades become soiled they may easily be washed. The paint also causes the shades to last much longer than usual.

SOUTH POLE DISCOVERED
Fearless Norwegian Explorer
Plants Flag At The Goal Of
Scientific Expedition.

Cable announcement was made dur
ing the week that Captain Raold
Amundsen, the celebrated Norwegian
explorer OF polar regions, reached the
south pole on December IA, last. and
remained around the goal spot until
the seventeenth OF the month making
observations and perfecting his proofs
OF discovery Captain AmundseE and
Captain Scott, an English explorer Of
note, were really engaged ia race for
the goal, similar to the race made by
Peary and Cook for the north pole,
nut the former race so far lacks the
nauseatiug aftermath of the latter
contest.
Captain Amundsen has told his
story briefly and concisely One inter-
esting fact stated is that the weather
around the south pole was not so ter
riply cold as expected, in fact the
explorers finding IL necessary to dis
card. their heavy furs while travelling.
Tue thermometer indicated about 2
degrees below zero at the pole,
weather that is warm compared to
some of the temperature readings re-
ported from the northwestern states
during the present winter, where it
was shown to have reached as far as
80 degrees below zero.
Nothing Official has been heard from
Captain Scott. the English explorer,
but Captain Amundsen is quoted as
saying that he believes it highly prob
able that the EDglishman also reached
The south pole successfully.
