This is the way an Eskimo lady sits at

crossing Siberia at the north, he had to

he might.
No matter how early you may awaken
in the morning. you will always find tho
mistress of the house nlrcndy up-that is.
Der position has changed from reclining
to sitting. But as soon rs she observes
that you are really awake she hands you
n small piece of meat to stendy your
nerves until breakfast time.
Then she goes into the next apartment,
which is merely an incosure for keeping
the dogs away from the stores. and after
10 minutes of pounding and chopping
returns with the breakfast
A large, flat wooden tray is placed on
the floor. and the landlady takes her posi-
ton at one end in the attitude elegantly
described as squatting. The family and
their guests gather aroupd the bonrd on
either side, lying fig an their stomachs
with their heads tSvard the breakfast
ana their feet out.
( The first course is some frozen weeds.
mixed With Scnl oil and eaten with small
portions OF fresh blrbber, which the lady
of the house cuts with large chopping
knife.
The next course is walrus meat. This
is also cut by the presiding lady and is
served with no stinting hnnd. AT this
portion of the meal the one who can
swallow the largest piece without chew
ing has the advantage, and the only way
to get even with him is to keep one piece

After this joint has been thoroughly
discussed there comes Il large piece OF

and very tough, 50 that it is impossible
