ALASKAN INDIAN WOMEN.
They Have Artfstic Ability Desplta

From the Womans Home Companion
The huge, expressionless face of an Alas.
ka Indian woman shows but little evidence
of any ambition or ability TO perform even
the simplest features OF domestic art, and
yet the skillful and artistic results OF the
handiwork of these untutored aborigfnes is
much sought after by the tourists who
visit their, villages during the summer.
Moreover. though the women are all fat
and lazy looking. their lives are not unin-
terrupted ease, notwithstanding that their
needs are few. Abundance of fuel is all
about them. and food. which with them IS
syninymous With fish. swims almost to
their doors. But the procuring as well as
the preparing OF this food is all accom-
plished by the women. During the sum-
mer they leave the villages and towns for
the islands in less frequented waters,
where they camp for weeks at a time:
catching and curing the fish for winter
use. while the men lazlly watch them, or
Paddle the canoe or otherwise amuse them
If an Indians wife is in i'll health or
too old to work. he marries another
younger wife. usually a relative Of the
first one who is expected 10 provide the
food, while the first wife cares for the
house and children. Fish and berries fur

in matters of personal adornmcnt they

winter they weave beautiful blankets and
baskets for their own and to SELL The
blankets are made from the strong rough
WOOL of the wild mountain sheep. Yet
some OF these are soft as silk and In
