PEASANT TYPES IN HUNGARY, NORTHEAST OP BUDA-PEST 



The woman on the right carries her gander in the same fashion that the Indian squaw- 

 carries her papoose. The maid of Holland wears the distinctive badge of her town or district 

 on her head; the Slovak peasant girl sometimes wears hers on her foot, as in the case of the 

 girl to the left, whose boot-heel, elaborately embroidered, betokens the village from which 

 she tramps. 



jects as are Little Russians. There are more 

 than 3,500,000 Ruthenians in the Austrian prov- 

 inces of Galicia and Bukovina, territories seized 

 from Poland. In Bukovina they are called 

 Huzulians. They differ in few respects from 

 the Little Russians of Russia. In Galicia they 

 form nearly half the inhabitants, the aristocracy 

 being Polish and the middle classes German or 

 Jewish. 



Though Roman Catholics, they use the Slavic 



liturgy and the Eastern Orthodox ceremonial. 

 They were tranquil under the Austrian rule 

 and in general manifest little sympathy for the 

 Czecho-Slovaks or for the Poles. They natu- 

 rally affiliate with their nearer kin, the Ukrai- 

 nians, or Little Russians (see page 463). They 

 are well known in the United States for indus- 

 try and intelligence. The Ruthenian, Zolki- 

 evski, patriot and warrior, was the Chevalier 

 Bayard of the Slavs.
