An Eskimo Widows Story.

story which offered a peep into the
comedy and tragedy of Eskimo exist

Dwellings of the Eskimos.
The tent had a raised platform upon
which all slept. The edge of this made
a seat, and on each side were placed
stone lamps, in which blubber was
burned, with moss as a wick. Over
this was q drying rack, and there was
other furniture.
On board the yacht there had been
busy days of barter. Furs and ivory
had been gathered in heaps in ex-

that in no country is the theatre
more generally patronized than In

Black satin gowns are extremely
fashionable this season and they GER
tainly make one Of the smartest
costumes one can have. 1t must be
remembered that the satin OF today
Is not the stiff stun OF some years
ago. 1t Is OF many varieties and
sometimes one would hardly recog-
nize It under the name of satin, but
It always has the quality OF supple
ness and the draping capacity.
The satin gowns OF this season
are usually draped in some manner
with embroidered net or chiffon COW
cred with a Jersey like bodice of
heavy embroidery. Jet, as has been
said In these letters before, Is used
largely in the make up of the black
gown and It Is especially effective
on the satin Of this color.

In all probability big country

park in this city on or before the
fifth of July.
R. E. Chamberlin, physical director
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, who is planning for big time

the coming summer, has announced
that he will shortly take up the work
of promoting such an affair. There is
little doubt but that such a meet would
attract many towns of the county
although the number of registered
athletes are limited The meet will
be open to all men having good stand
ing in the A. l.. n. A. or the A. A. u.
The fifth of July as date has been
strongly talked of and it is more than
likely that this date will be the one
chosen for the holding of the meet.
