 warm sealskin sacks and muffs that 

 American ladies wear in winter. They 

 have two suits of this reindeer clothing, 

 completely covering them : the inner suit 

 with the reindeer's fur turned toward the

 outside like a sealskin sack. The 

 coats have hoods sewed tightly on their 

 collars, so that when they are put on, 

 only the eyes, nose and mouth are 

 exposed to the cold.
