FOUR ESKIMO CHILDREN. 181 



the small snow house is about as warm as 

 is advisable, the babies crawl out and 

 play about on the bed. lyawkawak 

 and Koodleuk had such unpronounceable 

 names that they were hard to remember ; 

 and so the men of our party called the 

 boy "Jack," and the girl ".Rosy," on 

 account of her rosy red cheeks. Most 

 of the Eskimo children have red cheeks, 

 despite the dark hue of their faces, and 

 though they are rarely free from dirt. 

 Yet, the children's faces are generally 

 neater than those of the " grown-up" 

 people, many of whom look really hor- 

 rible, as they never wash their faces. 



The wives of Toolooah and Ikquiesek 

 both were very particular with their chil- 

 dren, and little "Jack" and "Rosy" 

 were as neat Eskimo children as you 

 could possibly find.
