PI^ASANTS ON A HOI.IDAY 



Few peasants cling so tenaciously to their national costume as do those of Rumania. 

 White, is the prevailing note, for the men wear loose white trousers and long linen blouses, 

 belted at the waist, and the women's skirts are often white, too, but generally gay with em- 

 broidery. On holidays both sexes wear short sleeveless jackets of every color of the rainbow, 

 bedecked with gold lace and a wealth of needlework.
