An Alaskan honeymoon.

gowns and ball room frocks we're
not included in it, but fur caps,

The sleeping bag is an interesting
article ofartic attire. When the pros

ry are travelling pitch their camp for
the night, each one picks out spot
in which to sleep, gets into the
sleeping bag, draws it up about his
head, pulls the string and goes to
sleep praying that his own breathing
will keep him warm.
Mrs. Berry, who is making the
perilous Alaskan journey as the only
woman of the party, is only twenty
one years old. She is reported to
have fairly reyelled 30 far in the
snow and sleet, and not to have dis
played any fear Of her ability to
climb the summit Of Chilcoot Pass

relegate them to the kitchen, where
they will be found useful for a va

in cleaning lamp burners. The mod
