While at Port Simpson he met an Indian girl, Arts Oala. whom he learned to love and they were married according to Indian laws, the ceremony being perlormed by the chief. while the Hudson’s Bay Company oflicials stood sponsor for the bridegroom. This event was regist- ered in the records 01 the Port. He took his bride to Fort Rupert where he was stationed by the Hudson’s Bay Com- pany. This was a happy home and made happier still by the arrival of a baby boy who was named William Henry. But while the baby was still an infant the angel of death entered the home and the little lad was mother- less. When the news of the bereave- ment reached Fort Simpsti the grand- father gathered together twelve strong men. secured an Indian dugout and paddled to Fort Rupert that he might bring his little grandson to rear among his own family. The oflicials of the company objected. but the grandfather gave assurance that the boy would be given every opportunity in life. He was well cared for in Fort Simpson and in due time. with many tribal rites, he was made a member of the Tsimpshean tribe. When he became of school age he was sent to school and to a Sunday school, both conducted by Mr. W.

Model 92 THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Keeping Up With The Silhouette Fur trimming, it seems, is determin- ed to be as radically different this sea- son as the silhouette. Admitting that this is an ambitious feat, there are many indications that it is being ac- complished. Fur is appearing in any number ot- unexpected places with new decorative habits. The smart yellow-biege broadcloth coat sketched today evidences one of the latest clever tricks of fur trimming. Black galyak forms the round stand- up collar which terminates in a luxur- ious scarf. The low placed ripple flare at the back and sides develop- ing the new coat silhouette is accentu- ated. by the wide bands of the same fur. The eflect repeated on the cuffs. and additionally provided with an ex- tended flare also of galyak, sounds a warning that fur trimming innovations are eminent.
