Canada: NORTHWEST TERRITORIES: Arctic Fashion Show

A little-known Canadian magazine, the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Beaver (circ. 15,000), went far afield last week for a scoop: the first Eskimo fashion show.

It was staged by Hudson’s Bay Inspector L. A. Learmonth with the aid of the wife of the Anglican missionary at Coppermine. The missionary’s adopted daughter Ann posed prettily in white fox, with a rabbit cap (see cut). Eskimos Paulette and Doris draped themselves in choicest red and silver foxes from the spring catch, chose identical wolverine caps.
