WAY up under the arctic circle
is Santa Claus Land. 1t IL
the land Of ice and snow, OF
sleds and reindeer. of queer
little huts In which live queer little
people, the Eskmos There can be nc
doubt that this Is Santa Claus Land
because the old saint who comes down
TO the warmer and more lovely land
OF all the World every Christmas eve
and leaves many gifts for the children
is himself dressed in heavy skins and
furs, just az The EskimoS dress. AMI
he rides In en arctic sled drawn by
swift little reindeer.
Santa Claus Land is very unlike ours
It has no pretty gardens in summer nor
any green fields or forests. On the
contrary, il is always bleak and bar
rem. The winters are very long and
very cold In the northernmost parts
the sun is seldom seen i'm wi3ter. the
night being nearly six months loI;
The people dwell in huts built Of ice
and snow during the winter and in
tents made Of the dried skins of seals
reindeer supplies them with their only
means of rapid transit" during the
long arctic night when the Sledge dogs
grow sullen and drowsy. 1t travels in
the darkness as well as in daylight
and gives rich milk. which may be
made into butter or cheese. When
slaughtered the rendeer's meat is eat
en-. and his hide is made into clothing
for the Eskimos or stretched over poles
and dried for use in making tents.
All the people of Santa Claus Land
men, women and chlldren-are clothed
in reindeer skins or sealsklns. In
summer they wear one suit and i'm win
ter two suits All wear big hoods. call
ed parkas, of fur. and in these hoods
the mothers sometimes carry their ba-
bles. In certain parts Of the frozen
regions the babies are carried on their
mothers backs, next to the skin, for
warmth, while elsewhere it is the Gus
