GLORIOUS HAIR TO ADVANTAGE DRESSED |
ESKIMO HOUSEWIFE IN HER PRIMITIVE KITCHEN |
|
| Very long, fair hair is a chief beauty of the women of Iceland. They wear it hanging in thick plaits, surmounted by a cap of dark cloth with a long tail twisted into semblance of another plait | The shaggy coat and "shammoyed" skin trousers of this Eskimo woman who is bending over the pots containing the unsavoury mixture which she calls dinner, are suitable garments for the severe climate of her native land which is hemmed in by the eternal Polar ice. Her cast of countenance and long, lank hair proclaim her an unmistakable member of the Mongoloid stock |
