Ganong for the Champlain Society. Continued from . last Tuesday: They observe certain degrees of relationship among them which prevents them marrying together. This is never done by brother to sister, by nephew to niece, or cou- sin to cousin. that is to say. so far as the second degree. for bcyond that they can do it. If a young married woman has no children by her husband at the end of two or three years. he can divorce her, and turn her out to take another. He is not held to service as in the case of the first: he simply makes presents of robes. skins, or wampum. He is obliged to make a feast for the father of the girl, but not so impressive in one as on the first occasion. she becomes pregnant he gives a great feast to his relatives; otherwise he drives her out like the first, and marrim another. This wife being pregnant, he sees her no more. As to these matters, they take as many women as they please provided that they are good hunters. and not lazy. Otherwise the girls will not accept them. One sees Indians who have two or three wives pregnant at the same time; it is their greatest joy to have a large nu. ber of children. 0 I I For all these festivities of wedd- lngs and feasts they adorn them- selves with their most beautiful clothes. In summer the men have robes of Moose skin. well dressed. white, ornamented with embroid- ery two fingers breadth wide from top to bottom. both close and open work. Others have three rows at the bottom. some length- wise. and others. acres. in broken chevrons. or studded with figures of animals, according to the fancy of the worlcmam They wonk all these fashions in colors of red. violet and blue. applied on the skin with some fainglas. They had. bones fashion- ed in different ways which they passed quite hot. over the colors. in a manner somewhat like that in which one gilds the covers of lbooks. When these colours are once applied, they do not come off with water. To dress their skins. these are soaked and stretched in the sun. and are well heated on the skin side for pulling out the hair. Then they stretch them and pull out the hair with bone instruments made on purpose. somewhat as do those who prepare a skin for conver- sion into parchment. Then they irub it with bird's liver and a little oil. Next. having rubbed it well between the hands, they dress it over a piece of polished wood made shelving on both sides just as is done to dress the skins for making gloves upon an iron. They rub it until it becomes supple and manageable. Then they wash it and twist it with sticks many times, until it leaves the water clean. Then ti:ey.spIead it to dry. For the skins dressed with the Ihair. they are only treated with the livers. with which they are well rubbed by hand: they are passed repeatedly over the sticks to dress them well. If they are not then soft enough, more of the liver: is added and they are once more rubbed until they are pli- able; then they are dried. All Of those robes, whether for men of for women. are made like a blan- ket. The men wear them upon their shoulders. tying thl-t '-W0 ends with strings of leather under i Modern Etiquette 5 Q.

Cut across in half, cut tie sections free and remove the div- iding skin and seeds. tlien pll-' sugar into it. and allow to stii--l for an hour or so. Q. Is 'It proper for two women when they are introduced. to sliike hands? I A. Usually they it not. but there is nothing improper about vt. the chin. while all the iciiiainder is not closed up.

During the winter their robes are of Beever. of Otter, of Marten, of Lynx, or of Squirrel. always "mar-tachees." that is to say. P3-ml- ed. Even their faces. when they go to ceremonies with their fine clothes, are painted in red. or violet; or else they make long and short rays of colour. according to fancy. on the nose.
