I 74 THE CHILDREN OF THE COLD. 



The Eskimo girl wears a long apron. 

 And just over her shoulders her coat- 

 sleeves swell out into large pockets ; and 

 in her stockings, just above the outer 

 part of the ankles, she also has pockets, 

 in which she keeps her sewing, moss for 

 lamp-wicking, a roll of sinew for thread, 

 and any other similar article that she 

 may need to carry with her.
