PERSONAL ADORNMENT. 



The manner in wliicli the Iglulirmiut dress their liair is tliiis de-

They separate their locks into two equal parts, one of which hangs on each side 

 of tlieu- heads and in front of their shoulders. To stiffen and bmd these they use a 

 narrow strap of deerskin, attaclied at one end to a round piece of bone, fourteen 

 inches long, tapered to a point, and covered over with leather. This looks like a 

 little wlaip, the handle of which is placed up and down the hair and the strap wound 

 round it in a number of spiral turns, making the tail, thus equipped, very much re- 

 semble one of those formerly worn by our seamen. The strap of this article of 

 dress, which is altogether called a tugliga, is so made from the deerskin as to show 

 when bound round the hair, alternate turns of white and dark fur, wliich give it a 

 very neat and ornamental appearance. * * * Those who are less nice dispose 

 * * * their hah' into a loose plait on each side or liave one tugliga and one plait.
