1n them is found one of the jnost pret'ie

Tho fragments, in the eyes of the sat -

and an eager, enthusiastic multitude
hastened out along the highway to meet

A White Woman Writes Thal l h0)
11:►te %1an) simple Pleasures
There.
Certain white men in the Dnnish Gov-
ernment service live along tide south•
%:deet coast of Greenland. llgw do the
Eutopenn women and children thrive
in That Aretio land? It is interesting
to hear from ono of these women, who
hao written to the German pallor Au -s-
teed That on the whole they like Omen -
teed. have molly simple pleasures thele,
II!t•.r children are happy and robust,
aua the natives are simple, jelly and
industrious.
The writer says that life is not irk -
sense, though the coast is bleak and
11rc winter snows are deep. She lives
in Godthaab, the capital of the colony
o! South Greenland. The white women
spend many of the summer hours on
the hills or in the gardens.
"My gardle's' she writes, "from the
Greenland p" nt of view, is a great etre-
cess. A broad walk divides it into two
parte. On one side beets, radishes,
cabbages. and some other vegetables
grow lush's and ntotuo even in
'I11t: e1IOBT SU\1MER.
"On (lee '-It t ;s n beautiful grass
pled, spriul.l. d eel' dandelions and
dr.isiee. and in a corner is a little lwot-
M-else in .which we bring a few Euro-
pean flowers and strawberries to per-
fection. Near the entrance are garden
chairs and a little table, and often, in
the afternoon, alt the white women in
the colony sit here with their needles,
enjoying their tea and the bouquets of
roses and gillyflowers which the hot-
house provides."
The Danish mothers and their chil-
dren are often seen on fine summer
days climbing the hills behind the set-
tlement, some with their sewing, others
with books, while a len kettle and a
basket of trek baked cake are curried
by yt,ung leequimaux. In sundry places,
prnle•_Gtil from the wind, the picnic,
party enjoys the glorious view of the
blue sen, and the entertainment is
varied by visits from the village goats,
imported from Europe generations ago
and thriving in their new home.
The single etreet of 6e-dl1►aab is lined•
with houses end bears the nano of
Lange Lillie, in memory of the famous
pnornennde of That name in Copenhag-
en. It is a noisy street in summer, for
it is the centre of the happy out 1,1 door
life of the people and the playground
of the children, both Gree111anders and
European.
The little folks recognize no racial
distinction. They are ell playmates to-
gether, and in fact there is a large
European admixture in all the Esqui-
mnux, old and young.
"Sometimes,' the nrerrative continue,
we (rear a joyous shout,
"TILE POST, TIIE POSTI"
and in an instant the whole colony Is
cut of doors.
"We see a boat coming up the hay
propelled by the padeile of one of the
l:squimaux whose business is to travel
from otic settlement to another with the
mail. The Esquimaux are just as inter-
ested as we are. for all can read and
a few old women standing in their doors
et' sitting on Iia flat roofs have no part
in the general excitement.
"But the Mir and bustle are greatest
if an Har is fixed upright like a mast
in the boat. This means that the boat

And one day something happened

but she could stand up by a chair.
One horning. as she stool holding on
