A TYPICAL TYROLliAN WOMAN OF THE CITY AND HER CHILDREN 



Her hat has long streamers of watered ribbon reaching to her skirt-hem and is faced 

 imder the brim with a thick gold embroidery. Few of the women wear the velvet bodice 

 and kerchief of earlier days, except in very remote villages or for some special festival, but 

 the little children of both rich and poor are frequently seen in the picturesque costume of 

 the country in its entirety.
