gold, silver or brass, according to their
means; and. be it known, no present is
so acceptable to an Icelandic girl as a
ring. The most singular. and at the same
time the most beautiful part of the female
costume is the headdress, called ''faldur,"
which is made of white linen, stiffIy
starched, kept in shape with an immense
number of Elns, and from fifteen TO twenty
inches in height. This is the holiday and
Sunday head covering.
When you visit family in Iceland you
must kiss each member, according to their
age or rank, be ginning with the highest and
descending to the lowest, not even except
ing the servants; on taking leave the order
is reversed; you first kiss the servants, then
the children, and lastly the master and mis-
tress. Both at meeting and parting an af-
fectionate kiss on the mouth, without dis
tinction of rank, age or sex, is the only
mode of salutation known in Iceland.-Bos-
ton Journal.
