How do you manage without tights in winter?

Before setting out on a winter journey, the Pembina Indians put out their fires and sit in the. cold in order to accustom themselves to it. One day, when the thermometer was below zero, an Indian came to see me, wearing only leggings', and, under his blanket, a thin cotton shirt. Looking at his bare chest, I said, "I should think you would freeze." He smiled and pointing to my face, exclaimed, "Face not freeze,--Indian all face"
