and little known regions around the
North Pole.
There is probably nobody in the
world who has Il larger bump Of
ignorance concerning the real North.

know their Far Nth by what a
novelist. who has never been further
north than Chicago on a hot July
day, says in a novel about the cold
North.
Years ago / realized my vast ig-
n6rance concerning the real North. I
fell for what Doc Cook wrote for
the public and what he told me dur
ing several interviews.
But there is one man who knows
the real North. His name is With
ialmur Stefansson. His latest book,
published by the Macmillan Com
pany Of New York. is called THE
Adventure Of Wrangel Island"
There is not day that Stefansson
is not called upon to 'set right"

Pole parties now trying to reach the
pole or explore the regions surround
ing it.

She is lady just returned from
Paris and has relatives in Douglas.
She will not arrive in Douglas until
just before the game, for she feels
certain that her relatives would OBJ
ject'
The appearance of Madame X Will
be of added interest in view of the
fact that she has promised to appear

latest, Parision creations which she
purchased while abroad, according &c
the statement of Huxtable.
