flesh from the bodies OF the dead.
When 1t became known that the cpl
demic was raging. some outside assist
ance arrived, and an effort was made
to- give the dead Christian burial. The
dogs, however, after consuming the
human flesh, became wild, and 1t was
impossible to undertake putting the
corpses in the frozen ground. The
next best thing was to bury the corpses
at sea. Before even this could be at
tempted the few remaining at Hebron
were compelled to shoot the dogs, as
even the living were not safe from
them. t.,
While this horror Of death and suf-
fering was going ON at Hebron, a like
epidemic was raging at Okak. The
Eskimos, as in Hebron, huddled to-
gether in their small huts, quickly be-
came affected, untiA the whole popula-
ton was either stricken or dead. The
daily death rate was appalling, whole
families dying within few hours. The
mission all the while was unceasing in
its work for the afflicted, but they also
fell victims to the disease, which
meant that the Eskilnos We're left help
less. When the new year dawned only
a few. emaciated EskimOs were found
to be- alive.
Mode Of Living is Fatal.
Mr.. Perrett said that when the Eski-
mos were stricken, their mode of iiv-
ing and environment was against their
surviving. AS soon as the illness fell
upon them they were obliged to take
shelter in the small, stuffy huts. where
there was neither fresh air nor sun.

they died. They were also without
seal meat and fats, which are neces-
Sary for sustenance in cold climes,
having been overtaken by the epidemic
just as the hunting season opened,
and, their constitutions thus weak
ened, they became easy prey to the
scourge. Many who had recovered
from their illness died later for want
Of nourishment.

q A UGH Of the nrohihitlEe cost Of
nj dresses which one sees display
A'A, ed In smart shops Is due to the
fact that thsy are hsudembroidered
yet In the most fashionable decorative
schemes only the simplest stitches are
used.
A group OF stitches is illustrated
here which torn the foundation OF
nearly all the modern forms OF garni-
Iturs. The outline stitch and its by.
products, the darning and plain couch.
ing stitches are omitted, because any.
lone who can use a needle at all can
do them. Quite as simple. but more
decorative In effect Is fagoting, which
is usually employed for joining edges
and which Is so much in vogue for
collars, Guns, tunics, etc. II consists Of
buttonhole stitches taken on arst one
edge and then the other, letting the
work progress toward one. When two
bands are fagoted together. they are
tirst basted or chain stitched on stiff
paper, and then the stitches added.
Fasten thread in lower edge OF
material. Throw thread to left and
take small glitch downward in upper
edge OF material. Gross dlagonaily

ways to throw the thread to the left.
The illustration shows clearly how the
work is done.
