However, so weak was sh that the exertion of going on board King Edward's yacht, when he visited King Victor at Balae, to lunch, was too much, and ahe fatnted and was taken hurriedly to Caatellamare, where she remained for some time. .. ' ' She got through last summer pretty well, but the doctors are said to have declared that they would not answer for the consequences If she remained in Italy during the winter. There la no doubt that they did say so, 'but peoplo In court circles are quite convinced also that the time has come whan she must have the relief of another absence from her husband, and the Cohgo was advised aa the beat climate; now they are ask ing themselves sadly if this will be the eternal separation. . This time it Is said that the duke has departed from hia custom of admiring those who approach his own rank,, and, haa taken up with a little dancer at one of the local theatres. He Is so Infatu- ntail that tha Br mAm even Allowed fco make her appearance In the dead of night, to be sure at the ducal residence, and the duchess, ill and awake, hearing an unaccustomed sound, went out and found the dancer with her husband.

In this storjr f adventure, which ap pears in tne December number of The Circle, Dr. Cook recites the events that marked the two Christmas days which lie spent amidst the frigid darkness of the polar midnight. In part he writes as follows: ' Christmas, 1907! Christmas, 1908! I can say this much at least, without fear of contradiction, that It Is not likely I will ever forget either of them nor", what went between. I have been asked to write of these experiences In the pole country, though at neither ChristmaB season the one before, tho other after the attainment of the pole was I within hail of our ' goal.
