PROTESTANT GIRLS IN TER GOES 



The religious faith of the peasants is indicated by their head-dress. The lace cap comes 

 down smooth and straight, ending squarely across the shoulders for a Catholic, but gathered 

 or plaited to flare widely and coquettishly for the woman whose faith is Caivinistic. Beneath 

 this cap jut shining gold plates like window-mirrors, securely held in place by huge gold 

 pins._ The carefully folded kerchiefs, the long black aprons, the short-sleeved bodice with 

 the tight velvet bands around the arms, and the coral necklace complete the costume.
