In Greenland the man seeking a bride asks permission from the parents to seize the daughter ho admires. Permission obtained, he endeavours to find her alone, the marriage being complete on his tearing from her some of the coats, fish nets and straps with which from, the day of asking she has been constantly enveloped (says an English writer). But this is not easy in Greenland, for the idea of pursuit must still be maintained until the knot is tied .—giving no chance to back out. And there is the story of the passionate young Eskimo who, after carrying his wife off in her sleeping bag, heedless of her squeals of protest, broke down Lis ice bridges behind him. Safe at last ih his own igloo, he hauled her forth from the bag, only to discover that he had eloped with her grandmother. Woods' Great Peppermint Cure For Coughs and Colds, never fails.
