WEATHER WORSE IN THE EAST THAN NORTH
 sAYs A NOME WOMAN

Of course VIC aren't living in Alas ka. but according to Mrs. R. W. J. Reed of Nome. Alaska, we are having inst the sort of weather the people there are accustomed to- "If this is Missouri winter. will take my Alas la every time" said Mrs. Reed yes terday afternoon, with slight shiv- CT.
 Mrs. Reed is the wife of the United States collector Of customs at the Nome port Mir. Reed, five weeks ago was in the Juneau office. She and her husband went to Nome from Seattle in 1900. Mrs. Reed has for the last year been president of the Kegoayah Kazgo club there. According to Mrs. Reed one of the things which tho wo- men of Missouri may well envy those of Nomo is the fact that women there have the ballot.
 Name From Northern Lights
 ~our club name." said Mrs. Reed, was taken from the northern lights, In that 1t means club dawn. the dawn of women's club work in Alaska. You think our land barren? We have 125 varieties of wild flowers. Our daisy fields are the most beautiful in the world. Our bluebells. forget-me.nots, and flags are the prettiest to be found. We also raise turnips. radishes, wild cranberries and biueberries in Nome.
 "You see the winter season is our play time. The minute the last boat leaves, which is usually the last of october, the gaiety begins Our balls are just as large end just as formal and just as delightful as in my of your large cities. We issue formal hand painted invitations. There Is scarce ly any cast line drawn Nearly all of the people are on an equality. You sec the people who SO to Alaska do 80 In spirit of adventure. and we none of us know what minute our neighbor may become wealthier than we
 q we been asked 80 often how the people of Alaska know when to retire during the season of light. It really ia very easy We simply look at the clock. draw tho blinds and sleep just as soundly as if 1t were the darkest night. During the winter sea- son the sun rises and sets in the south. The shortest day of the whole year. it rises at 10 and sets at 2 o'clock. Tn the summer season 1t ris- es and sets in the north Perhaps 1t seems almost impossible to those who have never visited our country that during the summer season, when 1t is as light at midnight as at noon. some of tho jollIest frohclzs take place. For the summer days arc devoted almost entirely to work just as the winter ones are to play. A party of friends and myself have for a number of years taken delightful camping trips in August
 lllness To eeldom.
 Tn spite of the coldness Of the weather. for we really do have many cold days. remarkably few Of our peo- pie are ill. We have almost no cpl denies. Perhaps .he one reason for this Is that we dress for the weather. Indoors we wear practically the same sort of dresses you women do but we are well bundled when we venture forth. And speaking of dresses, I wish to tell you that our styles come from Paris just the same as yours. We have in Nome several excellent dressmak- CTS. and at an social functions there arc always beautiful gowns We have Q seamstess from Chicago who sends to New York City for her materials and stvlas.
