which was denied their mothers. whose

Victoria and interested the sovereign
Of Great Britain in her humble, but
noble effort for the ome of an al
most unknown land. The cloth was
taken up at once by sportsmen. as it
was found to be the best known for
shooting wear. Briers do not tear it;
it Is soft and cool in summer and
warm in winter.
The gathering of the wool is peculiar,
as 1t would be fatal to the sheep to
shear them in that Icy land. The Ice
land cloth Is made from the wool
which is found in the sheds wherein
the poor beasts are sheltered from the
Arctic weather. This Is OF the finest
possible fiber. 1t is cleaned. carded
and spun by the Iceland women and
then woven by hand on their primitive
