Immense treasures of mohey and lives were expended by the nations to explore the mnorthern ice world and t0 attain the apex of the earth. But all efforts to reach the Pole had failed, notwithstanding the unlimited sacri- fice of gold and. energy and blood which had been poured out without stint for nearly four centuries. A brief summer excursion to Green- Jand in 1886 aroused Robert E. Perry, a civil engineer in the United States Navy, to an interest in the polar prob- lem, Peary a few years previously had been graduated from Bowdoin College second in his class, a.position which means unusual mental vigor in an instiution which is noted for the fine scholarship and intellect of its alumni. He realized at once that the goal which had eluded so many hun- dreds of ambitious and dauntless men able crossing of the ice cap three years later, defined the northern ex- tension of Greénland and conclusive- ly proved that it is an island instead of a’ continent extending to the Pole. In boldness of conception and brilli- ancy of resuts these two crossings of Greenland aré unsurpassed in aretic history. The magnitude of Peary's feat is better appreciated when it is recalled that Nansen's historic cress- ing of the islend was below the Are- tic Circle, 1.000 milés south of Peary's latitude, where Greenland ig some 250 miles wide. Peary now turned his attention to the Pole, which law 3% geographical miles farther north than any man had penetrated on the westérn hemisphere. To get there by the American route he must break a virgin trial every mile north from. Greely's 830 24’. No one quiet tones. “Naturally, between a peasant ki- mono dried on a hoard and basted together, and a $1,500 set of kimonos to makeup a single costume, the school girl is in a quandary.

KIMONO MAY BE DISCARDED IN JAPAN According to recent news despatches Japanese women are se¢king a new dress better suited to modern life than the graceful“kimono. American ma- chine-made clothes are being consid- ered to supplant the native dress of the women of Japan. In this connection a bulletin issued by the Washington, D. C., headquar- ters of the National Geoaraphic seci ty says: & “Probably in all the world there is no more charming figure than the Japanese maiden with tinted parasol, pigeon-toeing along in the attractive costume of her race. Throughout the history of Japanese art there haye been changes of woman's dress, but wasp waists, balloon sleeves, hoop- skirts and pantalettes have not been among the fashionable features. The same graceful lines of the kimono have prevailed in spite of minor changes, which are as patent 'to the Japanese woman as is the difference between Hudson seal and plush velour to an American lady of fashion. “Seen at a distance of 20 yards, walkking in the shade of the majestic cryptomerias of Nikko or the bamboo of the byways, the diminutive Japan- ese lady, with her bright parasol and a touch of color showing at the border of her outer kimono, is an eye-delight- ing figure. She embodies grace and coquettish charm. Beside such an one, if observed from a distance, the em- press, gowned in Paris styles and wearing an enormous beauty plumed foreign hat at her semi-annual gar- den parties, seems a sorry figure. Fed indeed are the Japanese men who gain dignity from frock edat and silk hat, but fewer still are the Japanese wom- en who add to their charth by assum- ing foreign dress. ‘“The Japanese feminine costume is made up of layer after layer of lovely silks of the brightest hues, all dis- creetly hidden umder an outer kimono of dark gray or black. Nor are the kimonos at all standard in pattern. Sieeve length, fullness and a score of more subtle variations cry aloud the extreme chic fo the best dressers. “To the peasant woman, these changes make little difference. Her main demands are two—convenience and durability. Fer the field werker in a hot, damp climaté one requisits | of the kimono is that the upper pore | tion can be slipped off and tucked un- | der the belt on hot days, and for the, { factory worker it is hecessary that the | long, dangling sleeves be girded back { out of the’way of tools and gears. For durability the peasant kimono i8 un- excelled. It is so constructed that the CLEVER SEASONABLE WAISTS various pieces can be fitted togéther j in different ways so that what is the i bottom edg: today can, after the next | washing, basted up and down the back, where it can rest from heavy wear until the next washing. For each washing the kimonos are ripped apart and the different pieces are then dried and smoothed by spreading .them, while wet, on a beard in the sun. No electric iron is necdssary - and the parts are quickly basted together to serve until the next washing day. In t?ie way the materials last for a long time. “For the lady of fashion, however, no such easy methods of dressmaking are possible. The finést ctepes and silks are used, and so carefully are the patterns woven that the slightest de- viation from the measutements for face or handralling was involved, the should be encased in ferro-concrete, | Civic association held an enthu and the work was successfully carried |reeting this week which was well at- out on the Mouchel-Hennebique sys-|tended.
