A PEASANT GIRL OF NORMANDY 



The Norman is a model of industry and thrift, even in France, where the common 

 people are noted for making the utmost of their resources. While the Norman farmer is at 

 work in his fields, his wife and daughters are making butter, tending the poultry, weaving 

 lace, or spinning wool. In out-of-the-way places the beautiful old Norman dress may still 

 be seen.
