The men of the village hunt together, cat together, and if need be starve to- gether. In the phra.'je of the old hymn, they share each other's woei, each other's burdens bears; and of- ten for each other flows the syni- pathizing tear. Socialism has no op- position among the I^.skiinos; there is no need of the class war. If any man In the community Is hungry, all others go hungry in an equal degree. If anybody has a piece of luck ho calls in his neighbors. Nor would it have been possible lo make the war plain to them by au apologue such as a certain school of economic historians would have ub believe is contained in the Honioric poems. There was never an Kskinio Helen or an F.skinio Troy. Marria^R is a pliant and elastic institution iii the regions about Etah. The girl.=? are married, usually, at the age of 12 â€" as soon as they are able to chew the solo of a boot. There is no more requirement of recondite litual, but a very practical provision lo insure efJlcienoy in the practical arts of the housewife. Domestic science among the Ks- kimos has two essential require- ments; the bride must be able to take care of a lamp and niond her husband's elothps. The tiiinming, filling, and cleaning of the lamp is fairly simple, a sort of freshman course. More difficult is the task of mending the heavy garments with bone needles and leather thongs; and most difflcult of all the mending of the boot. The heavy leather of th'3 sole has to be moistened and chewed Into a lessor degree of toughness be- fore tho needle can be driven through it; and the chewing takes strong teeth, determination, and endless pa- tience. It is not only a physical but a moral landmark when, for the first time, the Eskimo piil chews her boot. She has graduated; she is ready for marriage. * But in marriage itself the same communism prevails. The bride- groom, having duly arranged, some- times years beforehand, with the par- ents of a graduate boot-chewer, leads her away to his igloo. But he is ani- mated by no selfish and monopolistic sense of possession. An Kskimo Paris would have had to do no more than ask an Eskimo Menelaus lo lend him his Helen for a month. Tho end of the month Helen will be taken back to Menelau.s, or transferred to another applicant. The Kskimo does not say, "She is mine!" He observea to his fellow-citizen, with a wave of the hand inclusive of all the women of the village, "They are ours." The title to the women of the tribe may be said to reside collectively in the men of the tribe. So frequent are these interchanges that a popular Eskimo girl, possessed of personal charm and accomplishcil at the mastieation of footwear, may be said to spend the first few years of her married life in a condition of recurrent honeymoon â€" ;i sort of honeymoon cycle, limited only by tho comparative sinallne.ss of the com- munity, so that all tho possible per- mutations and combinations of nup- tial existence are eventually exliaii.it- cd. It i.'i a long way from this po.si- tion of iin eagerly desired Indie at tho tliresliold of life to that of the aged Eskimo grandmother, her teeth worn to the eiiins by the chewing of tho .boots of three gfneration.s. To be sure, Helen may not always want to be lent to Paris for a week or two; she may prefer to stay with Menelaus. But Helen is not consult- ed. The simple, sturdy communion of tho Eskimo does not regard wo- men as people. Nor could the Eskimos understand tliat war might be made as a matter of religion, sanctified by Iho cult o," a superior people going out to con- quer their natural slaves under the aegis of "old I-'ritz up there" and the ruler of "Cherubinen, Seraphiu- en, und Zeppelinen." Their religion teaches a fear of invisible spirits cou- trollinK the riches of the sea, but tho most malevolent angekok never tried lo use this belief to inspire (leleli>- rious activities. Indeed, MacMillan has expre.ssed doubt.s as to wlielher (he religions of soiilliorn t limes could profitably be spread among them. "They don't need religion," he ob- serves. "They have about all of tho virtues already." And a Christianizeil Eskimo from .-louthern Greenland who recently came north, Inspired by an ambition to become the Billy Sunday of lOtali, apparently agreed with lliis, for so far he has confined himself to teach- ing the children to read and write. I'aler he may go on to mutters of ethics and theology, but apptirenlly he is going to make no attempt to interfere with the folkways of tho elders. 8USINESSCARDS yoCIETIKS pKlKCE AUTHUtt LODOE, No. Ml.A.F.Jt- A ,*.l, iiivuts in tilt Masoulohali.
