Manchester Woman’s Club Hears Miss Huling 
Lecture on Labrador. 
The Manchester Woman’s club had 
the pleasure of hearing Miss Ellen 
Paine Huling lecture ‘Tuesday, at its 
regular meeting, her subject being 
‘Labrador, as seen through a Wo- 
man’s Eyes.” During the business 
session, the president, Mrs. Beaton, 
announced that Mr. Edward Avis 
will give his celebrated lecture, “An 
Afternoon in Birdland,” illustrated by 
stereopticon and music, at the next 
meeting, March 4, at the Town hall. 
This is open to the public and child- 
ren will be admitted for fifteen cents. 
The Arbella club extended a cordial 
invitation to the Woman’s club to at- 
tend its next meeting, Feb. 25, at the 
Town hall. Mrs. Emma Stanley gave 
a splendid report of the mid-winter 
federation meeting. Miss Taylor ren- 
dered a vocal solo very charmingly and 
was warmly applauded. 
Miss Huling was then introduced. 
She described the journey to Labra- 
dor and the hardships one must in- 
evitably encounter. A wreck on the 
Labrador coast excites no surprise as 
most of the fishermen have been 
wrecked and everyone who has sailed 
the coast has at least had narrow es- 
capes. 
Many little anecdotes were related 
. by the speaker, which admirably illus- 
trated the traits of the people—their 
simplicity, ignorance, superstition, 
bravery and great hospitality. 
Miss Huling spoke in glowing terms 
of that devoted and heroic man whose 
wise guidance has meant so much to 
the Labrador people—Dr. Grenfell. 
He is doctor, parson, master-mariner, 
magistrate, prophet, champion, direct- 
or of commercial enterprise. He has

“Of course not,” answered Sadie.

established medical missions, co- 
operative stores, introduced reindeer, 
built hospitals, an orphanage, a fisher- 
man’s home, and even introduced fun. 
Miss Huling found the Eskimos 
to be a brave, curious, good-natured 
people, who never quite grow up, and 
who have a singular lack of humor. 
Misses Helen Knight and Nina Sin- 
nicks appeared clad in Eskimo cos- 
tumes—the winter one of hair-seal 
and summer one of blanket stuff, both 
having hoods in which the baby is 
carried. 
Many queer customs of the Eski- 
mos were described. ‘They have a 
very strict law which forbids remar- 
riage in less than six weeks after the 
wite’s decease. One readily sees why 
the Eskimo man remarries at once, 
as he loses in his wife, his butcher, 
baker, tailor, carpenter and house- 
keeper. The woman does all the 
work except hunting and fishing. 
One of her duties is to chew her hus- 
bands skin boots soft after they have 
hardened from use. When boys 
come in from fishing, one may see 
them throw the dead fish-heads at the 
girls, who receive them much as an 
American girl receives a box of 
candy. 
To sum up Miss Huling said she 
was impressed by the grim beauty of 
the north, the great kindness, cour- 
age and hospitality of the poeple and 
the self-sacrificing work of the mis- 
sionaries, 
At the close of the meeting the 
members came forward to view the 
furs and curios displayed. 
Miss Annie Lane was the hostess 
of the afternoon. 
DESCRIBING Him 
A friend was once talking with a 
crazy woman, when a stingy man 
passed by. 
“Do you see that man?” she said, 
with a cunning smile. ‘You could 
blow his soul through a sparrow’s bill 
into a fly’s eye, and the fly wouldn’t 
wink,”
