 EXTRAORDINARY COSTUME; WORN BY THE MAGYAR PEASANTS OE MEZOKOVESD 



It is, of course, worn only on Sundays. The immensely long sleeves — like a parson's 

 surplice — are a remarkable feature. Long black aprons are always worn, and the decora- 

 tions on these and the sleeves and front of the shirt are in colored wools or silks. Often 

 the costumes are richly embroidered as well. The ornamented hats are curious. The wide 

 Hungarian trousers and high Wellington boots complete the costume. The great length of 

 the sleeve is well illustrated bv the man on the right.
