The peasants of Brittany wear costumes of the same design from generation to genera- 

 tion. Women and girls wear snow-white linen collars and lace-bordered caps in a wide 

 variety of shapes. Each peculiarity of design has its meaning, and indicates the home district 

 of the wearer. These two young women live at Huelgoat, a village in Finistere, the western- 

 most department of France, whose largest city is Brest.
