woMrN.s DRESS IN ICELAND.

The common working dress Of tho
Icelandic women, without distinction
rs to social equality or wealth, says
the Boston Journal, consists of an I'M
dergarment of wadmel, in one piece,
extending from the shoulders to the
heels, fastened Mt the neck with but
ton or clasp, with petticoats of white
or blue wadmel, and blue cap, the
top of which hangs down on one side
and terminates in tassel. On Satur-
days and festival occasions their dress
is singular. They then wear, in addi-
ton, n bodice and two or three blue
petticoats, called "fat," and In front
an apron, bordorcd with n material re.
sembling black velvet, which is do.
nestle manufacture. The petticoats
are fastened immediately beneath the
bodice by girdle of this black velvet,
embroidered and studded with such
silver or gilt ornaments as they may
possess.
Tho bodice is also ornamented and
fastened in front with largo clasps,
generally gilt, and rendered moro con-
spicuous by being fixed upon n broad
border of black velvet, bound with
red. Over the bodice is n jacket called
''treIa," fitting close to the shape and
made Of black wadmel or velvet. The
stockings are of dark blue worsted,
and the shoes, which are of seal, shark
or sheepskin, are made tight to the
foot and fastened about the ankles
and insteps with leather laces. On
their fingers the women generally have
many rings of gold, silver or brass,
according to their means; and, be it
known, no present is so acceptable to
an Icelandic girl as ring The most
singular, and at the same time tho
most beautiful, part of the female cos
