far Northern homes, Victor Stefans-

public In connection with Eskimos
IL the system of trial marriages in
vogue. Conventional canons are en-
tirely disregarded the only prelim-
inaries to marriage being the securing
of an option on the heart and hand
of an Eskimo belle by the suitor. If,
after few weeks or months the cou-
pie find they are not congenial, the
girl returns to her father. II Is not
unusual for girl to be married five
or six times before finally finding her
affinity. After two years compan-
ionship, trial divorces are unknown.
In middle life married couples be-
come more strongly attached to each
other than at any previous stage.
Although the children are not weaned
until nearly years old, they learn
to chew tobacco before reaching their
first birthday. Men and women
when inside sit naked to the waist
while children under 12 years wear
