Aside from this one tendency toward dark colors, gaiety In color and design ruled in the materials which at the Maison Rodier, were bountifully spread out for my Inspection. Judging from their brilliant beauty, it will be difficult for a serious-minded person to go soberly clad in the first half of 1918. • ' z The high price of aganc has not prevented its return among materials for spring and summer.

A Tiny clusters caught here and there among the soft folds of lace trimming the bodice or skirt give & delightfully fresh touch. Flowerets come in every color and all shapes. Trailing vines of morningglories in the soft, delicate pastel shades are decidedly effective. Fairylike bouquets nestling among the lacy folds of fichu or flounce- add a springlike newness to the dance frock. These flowers are not confined to the evening dress; they appear demurely in small clusters of blue, red and gold upon the visiting costume, hat or furs.

Old-fashioned pinks and larkspur are a pretty combination, while the glowing scarlet and coral miniature poppies are lively against a dark fur background.

They are used to trim jabots and collarettes of lace and net to Very good advantage. Buckles fashioned of these diminutive blossoms adorn the evening slipper. Tiny pink roses and forget-me-nots are a fascinating combination for .this purpose. - 7 \ ' 7-'\

There are to be no Mercury-footed, feather-shod damsels in New York. A wireless dispatch from Paris recently said that the latest thing in footwear for women was a low shoe covered entirely with feathers, and that to be ultra-fashionable one would have the shoe buckle replaced by a bow of feather aigrettes. This fashion has not struck New York yet, and the shoe men say it will not There may be, by chance, a slight flurry of feather shoes, but certainly not a real storm trf them. —~ ---

TO SEEK NEW LAND

Noted Explorers Are to Sall for Crocker Land. Leaders of Expedition With Peary Alm to Study Polar Territory That Still Remains Mystery to Geographers, Boston, Mass. The last considerable mass of unknown land on our planet north of the equator is Crocker Land, a vast and vague region bordering the polar sea northwest of Grant Land and westward of the route which Peary followed over the ice to the pole. Recently brief and preliminary announcement was made of the expedition which will set forth during the coming summer for the exploration of this land and for other scientific work which remains to be done in the far north, especially in the_unknown interior of Greenland. i The coming expedition will be under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History and the American Geographical society with the cooperation and Indorsement of other scientific bodies, and will be assisted financially by numerous individuals. Each of the two societies named has contributed $6,000 to the fund of $50,000 which is being raised. Yale has contributed SI,OOO, and Bowdoin alumni will contribute as much or more, through their interest and pride in MacMillan, who was one of Peary’s lieutenants on his successful dash to the pole. < As to Crocker Land itself, it was given its name by Peary in the expeditions next before his last one, the name being in honor of George Crocker of New York, a leading member of the Peary Arctic club. In June, 1906, on several clear flays In succession Peary was able to make out from the summit of Cape Thomas Hubbard in latitude 81, the snow-clad summits of a distant land in the northwest above the ice horizon. It is figured that this land, which no polar explorer has ever visited, is in 100 west latitude and 83 north latitude, or about 130 miles from Cape Thomas Hubbard, which is the northern tip of Axel Heiberg Land. Men of science feel that the verification of these observations and deductions by making a long trip northwestward from Cape Thomas Hubbard

Part of Gold Loot Found.

Washington,—Secret service operatives at Portland, Ore., have recovered 17,000 of the >250,000 consignment of gold bullion which was stolen a year and a half ago while being transported from Skagway to Seattle.

is the last great geographical problem for solution. The expedition will leave Sydney by special steamer on July 20, and will establish winter quarters at Flagler bay in north latitude 79. On the way whale and walrus meat and dogs will be collected and the ship will Joe sent home. In September and through the long arctic i night, when the moon is favorable, the supplies will be sledged to Cape Thomas Hubbard, 330 miles farther on toward the goal. When the arctic day begins to dawn in February, 1913, the expedition will push over the 130 miles of ice to the unknown Crocker Land, and if no game is found the return to Cape Thomas Hubbard will be made in the following May. On the return to the headquarters al Flagler bay scientific work, will be carried on in Grant Land, and then the headquarters and the collections will be transferred southward to Etah, the village of the most northerly Eskimos. * In the spring and summer of 1914 the expedition to the Interior of Greenland will be made and an attempt made to reach the summit of the great ice cap at the middle of the widest part of the island. No man has ever been there. On the return to Etah a ship will be awaited to bring the expedition back to civilization in the autumn of 1914. - The expedition will be jointly in charge of Donald B. MacMillan and George Borup, both of whom were with Peary. The only white men with them will be a physician and a cook.

patby with the member of the league, a woman, who had recently attempted suicide, but as yet without fatal result. He added the fervent hope that she would meet the death she desired. By way of Indorsing his words all present rose in silence. Another member said that happily the wound received by the woman was dangerous, and there was no hope of her recovery. - The greater part of the subsequent discussion turned on the question of devising original methods of suicide. It came out that nine of the members on whom the lot had fallen had previously sworn not to take their lives in commonplace conditions. Various suggestions were made, but the one most favorably received was that a* considerable number of the members should commit suicide en masse. It being calculated that the sensation thereby produced would attract any number of recruits to the league. It was proposed that a dinner be arranged at a fashionable restaurant and that the diners swallow cyanide of potassium out of champagne glasses. Their funerals would be organized with great pomp in order to affect the impressionable people.
