 June, 1891, he led his first big polar expedition, being head of the Arctic expedition of the Academy of Natural Science, Philadelphia
 Admiral Peary made seven other expeditions in the Arctic before he finally reached the pole, returning in 1909 to find that Dr. Frederick A. Cook was being praised as the dis coverer.
 Tn 1913 he was promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral in the navy and given the thanks of Congress by a spe- cial act. Turing his attention to avi- ation, Admiral Peary became a strong advocate of aircraft development by the government.
 New York, Feb. 20.---Rear Admiral Robert F. Pearys success in reaching the North pole was due to his intro duction of common sense methods intf Arctic exploration, in the opinion of Vilhjamur Stefansson, the Arctic ex- plorer, expressed here today. Admiral Peary's greatest contriibu- ton to exploration was the introdUS- tion of common sense,'' he said. fPre- vioUsly more emphasis had been laid on the herois1n and tests of endurance developed by trips into the north. Peary adopted the methods of the Els 1 qu4nauX, which were less dramatic i because they reduced hardship and 1 suffering to a minimum.

III KNITTED COST or

really intended as protection against
cold.
One good feature OF these knitted
clothes for children is that they will
launder very sfactorily-and will
require no ironing. There is only the
necessity of washing the wool wear
ables carefully--as one would wash a
knitted sweater or a baby's all-wool
dergarments--in water not too hot
and without rubbing or strenuous
wringing. And the knitted garments
must not be hung up to dry lest they
stretch and pull out of shape. Care
fully washed and dried they will keep
their softness and shapeliness all
through the winter-and longer.
The knitted costumes for small
brother and sister come in various
pretty colors; rose pink, French blue,
tan. navy blue and white. The all.
white costumes are especially dainty
and charming. but, of course. they are
not as practical for play wear about
the nursery as tan. French blue or
navy blue. The boy in the picture
wears a tan worsted suit with collar
and trimming bands of cream white.

can tumble about all day without
rumpling this knitted play costume
and though the worsted toys are warm
as toast. they are in no wise bulky or
heavy.
The little girls costume is the pref
TEST because of Its grace and It's
dainty style. The elbow sleeves have
snucy rosettes as well as the collar,
and a cord sash with worsted pompons
adds to the prettiness. This tunic also
slips on over the head and has no back
or front fastening. Short pantalets. or

IN Bunting bags the cunning cape
coats are called. At the top of the
quilted. wadded silk cape. is snug

The cape ties all the way down the
front with narrow ribbons and can be
fastened together at its lower edge
can you imagine anything snugger and
coZier on a cold winter day?
The cape and hood are of softest
silk. satin or crepe dc chine, with two
layers, quilted together over an inner
layer of cotton. The silk. in some
dainty, babyish shade, is embroidered
in the simple, graceful Japanese FASH
ion. And to match the Bunting bag
capecoat there is a square coverlet Of
the same soft silk. quilted and en-
broidered in the same fashion. Baby
will need blankets, of course. beside

fiXings, but with his little face peepirg
out of the soft quilted hood and tho
