 THE; COSTUMES OE ARITZO, CENTRAL, SARDINIA 



Just as the girls of the various towns and provinces of Holland are to be distinguished 

 by the peculiar form of their quaint head-dresses, so the girls of Sardinian villages are 

 known by the combination of colors in their costumes. The women and children dress alike — 

 full skirts, usually dark red: white waists with full sleeves, and short bright red or bright 

 blue jackets, open in front or laced around the waist. In some districts the pattern of the 

 apron is the distinctive feature.
