Novel Handbag Made Of Hair Sealskin
One of the smartest overnigti
bags we've ever seen and whic!
we like particulary because o
its appropriateness to the Alas
kan locale is owned by Dr. Rutl
Gruber, who is here gatherini
data for tke Department of tin
Interior.
It is an exact fur enlargemen
of one of those zippered, canvas
covered duffle bags and Dr. Gru
ber tells an interesting story o;
how she had it made.
On one of her visits to an Es
kimo village after seeing so many
things fashioned of fur she asked
an Eskimo girl if she thought she
could make a fur bag similar to
the one she was carrying.
The girl looked at it fora min
ofe. ‘Can do” she said, and
started to leave.
"Don’t you want to take the
bag with you for a sample?” Dr.
Gruber asked.
"No,” said the girl, “can do.”
Then came the surprise — the
very next day she was back with
the bag finished. She had made
it of tan-colored hair seal with
the fur side out, and it was com
plete, even to the zipper! Where
the canvas model had cardboard
for shaping reinforcement the
girf had used whalebone and the
bag was smoothly shaped, sym
metrical and neatly finished in
every detail.
“My only mistake was in hav
ing only one made,” Dr. Gruber1
said, “but next time I go back
I’ll remedy that.”
A CHEECHAKO
CHATTERS_
We'd like to tell all about the
skating which is so popular right
now but since the weather is al
ways censored and we are often
censured we will only say that
you have your pick between ice
and roller. The sub debs and the
sub-bachelors really go for the
sport. Seen on Mill Bay and
Mission road ponds lately have
been Beatrice Malutin, Shirley
Reid, Cherie Mo.rison, Donna
and Mary Frost, Evelyn King,
Mary Sargent, Mary PanamarolT
Heleu Carlson, Victor Malutin,
Nick Frost Billie Shuravloff,
Sam Morrison Bill Robertson
and Charlie Haitman.
A very cosmopolitan outfit
was worn by Mrs, David Fiood
Wednesday. A cape and narka
combined, it is of thick white
pile fabric.
There's nothing to the idea
outsiders have of long boring
winter evenings in Kodiak. We
all keep plenty busy, but we
wonder if there isn’t room in
town for some “state” clubs?
Oregon, Washington, Montana
and Idaho predominate. Might
try one meeting a month. There’s
always the risk of finding one's
second cousin Betsinda, chrice
removed, but it might be fun.
Any ideas?
1 Recreation Room Gets New Decor
Comfort Plus
Lounging robes, those indis
pensable articles in every wo
man’s wardrobe, find special
favor here where their warmth
and utility make them a neces
sity. Chenilles, flannels and
quilteds are sought for warmth,
and satins, rayons and taffetas
for glamor. Zippered robes and
wrap-arounds, as illustrated a
bove, are equally popular.
The Griffin Hospital Guild will
meet next Tuesday, February
3rd, at 2 p. m. at the hospital.
All woman who are interested in
the local defense program are
invited to attend.

cause of decorating work These
