■ (Continued from Saturday)
| Whenever boys attained compe
Itence, independence and can ob
j tain the necessary wedding pre
! sents, they get married. The
groom endeavors to select the
bride that knows how to sew
bidarcars, parkas, or kamleykas
(water-proof coveralls made from
bear or sealion intestines); al
though she may be considered
older than the groom. Wisdom
and utility was preferred to beau
ty. The son invariably asked his
father’s permission to marry his
choice; if the father opposed the
son’s selection, he selected one
himself. Then a relative was dis
patched to the bride’s father with
the announcement.
If tlie groom received a favora-;
ble reply to his proposal, the fol
lowing night the groom goes to
his future wife at night, lays
down his tired head alongside of
her, with all his clothes on; on
rising, in the morning he goes
for fuel wood, heats rocks for the
banya and both bathe together, j
On coming from the bath, re
latives brought the groom pre
sents, formerly consisting of sea
otters, red squirrel and sea par
rot parkas, slaves, amber and suk- i
li. These presents were presented
to his father-in-law and relatives.
The following day, the son and
wife visit his father, who pre- 1
sents his daughter-in-law with
one parka, one kamleyka, beads,
sukli and regales them with talk
usha—on departing would say to
his son. “Son love your wife. Do
something for your country.”
Newlyweds returned to father-in
law and lived there as long as
they wished, or usually until the
first warbling notes of the stork
were heard several years later.
Newlyweds had to observe chas
tity for five, long days.
In the Autumn, if the newly
weds were rich, they gave igrush
kas. These rites were strictly ob
served prior to the embracing of
Christianity. Some used to select
brides for the groom in infancy;
this happened only among the se
lect or close friends. Free choice
was generaly the rule. In those
old days, husbands treated their
wives with kindness and tender
ness, and seldom dared to scold
each other in the presence of
others. Otherwise it would be con
sidered an unbearable offense,
but in the course of time—

Advanced Refrigeration
Continually working for the ad
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding stars
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white
porcelain-on-steel and provides
more shelf space than before.
