necessary to have them of one tone.
Grays which do not harmonic should
not be worn together.
Twelve-button gloves are generally
used with three-quarter length sleeves.
and sixteen-button gloves are In
tended for any sleeve cut above the
elbow, permitting a little fullness on
the arm. while the twenty and twenty
four button gloves are correct for full
dress. At the moment, the sixteen
button length leads for afternoon
wear; for day wear, two-clasp gloves
are the mode.
Clasps. by the way, are being great

them without being annoyed by any
troublesome chaperon. When young
man proposes marriage to his sweet
heart she signifies her consent by tell
ing him to bring some firewood to
her fathers house. She in turn brings
some rice and sweet potatoes to the
parents of her future husband. II the
parents agree to the match the young
man is instructed to canao or sacrifice
chicken at the house of his future ia
ther-in-law. Three days later he per-
forms the canao with sucking pig.
This completes the initial marriage
ceremony. The young people then live
together for a year and il they are
satisfied with each other the two fam
lilies celebrate big canao or sacri-
fetal feast with several hogs and a
sucking pig This is the final mar
riage ceremony. The trial marriages
Of the IgorrOtes are remarkably sue
cessful and 1t Is unusual for the con-
tracing parties to separate after the
first trial year.
Among the Benguets the marriage
ceremony is celebrated by smearing
the blood OF the sacrificial animals on
the faces of the members of the two
families. This ceremony is performed
by some old woman who has been
asked to act as high priestess for the
happy occasion.
An Igorrots can divorce his wife
whenever he pleases, but he must give
her canao and return her dowry

Funeral Customs.
When an Igorrote dies the family
of the decedent set the corpse up in
chair and drape over 1t the funeral
blanket Then they build fire under
the corpse and smoke 1t until 1t is
mummified II the deceased is the
father OF the house they place his ia.
vorite pipe in his mouth and set food
before him daily. Half of his cattle
and hogs are set aside for sacriflcial
purposes and the family has one grand
canao or feast until the sacrificial an,
imals are all eaten. This usually
takes a month.
When the time for burial arrives the
children speak to the corpse and say:
Dear father, we will place you in
the position In which you were born
and carry you to your resting place.
Then they cross hands over his chest
and double his knees up under his chin
and so place him in . square wooden
coffin which they carry to sepulcher
cut In the mountain side. When they
become lonesome for the deceased
they bring the corpse back to the
house and set 1t up in the chair agin.
They speak to 1t lovingly and set food
before 1t as II it were alive. The chill.
dren say q sort OF q prayer to their

pearing game animal.
Driven to desperation from hunger, the elk
would break down the strongest barbed wire
fence surrounding a haystack, and during por-
tion OF the winter the settlers were forced to
guard their hay night and day. The elk have been
known to mount upon the fallen bodies OF their
companions, and thus climb TO the top OF

devour the rotten hay straw used as roof COW
ering
The scenes in the elk region of Wyoming during
the last two years are described heartrendng.
The starving elk, driven to the lowlands by the
high in the mountains, found most OF the
range fenced In by ranchers. In many cases they
broke down fences and demolished the hay
stacks of the ranchers. They ate the willows
along the streams, and gradually grew weaker and
weaker, and finally sunk down to die in the snow.
Immediately they were pounced upon by magpies

years but the state of Wyoming seemed unable.
single handed, to cope with the situation The
tender-hearted ranchmen of the Jackson Hole
country have helped to the full extent of their
ability, feeding to the starving elk as much as
they could spare from their private stores of hay
and fodder without putting their own stock on ex-
tremey short allowance. But with all this, 1t is
estimated that fully 5000 elk died of starvation
each year.
According to Mr.. S. n. Leck prominent
ranchman OF the Jackson Hole district and for

of the conditions surrounding the elk in that part
OF the country since 1903 about 70 per cent OF the
adult elk have perlshed of starvation each winter
