Description

Excerpt from The Junior Classics, Vol. 6: Old-Fashioned Tales There were beautiful Friesland girls in wooden shoes and coarse petticoats, with solid gold cres cents encircling their heads, finished at each temple with a golden rosette, and hung with lace a century Old. Some wore necklaces, pendants, and ear-rings of the purest gold. Many were content with gilt, or even with brass; but it is not an uncommon thing for a Friesland woman to have all the family treasure in her head-gear. More than one rustic lass displayed the value of two thousand guilders upon her head that day. Scattered throughout the crowd were peasants from the Island of Marken, with sabots, black stockings, and the widest Of breeches; also women from Marken, with short blue petticoats, and black jackets gayly figured in front. They wore red sleeves, white aprons, and a cap like a bishop's mitre over their golden hair. The children, often, were as quaint and Odd looking as their elders. In short, one-third of the crowd seemed to have stepped bodily from a col lection Of Dutch paintings. Everywhere could be seen tall women, and stumpy men, lively-faced girls, and youths whose expression never changed from sunrise to sunset.
