F AMSTERDAM, Feb. 14.-If you want to

Take for instance the Island of Mar

upon modern clothing and dress as the
Dutch did fifty years ago. Tho men wear
boomers 80 full at the hips that you
could make q dress skirt out of one pair
OF trousers, They have roundabouts or
shlrtwaIsts of black wool, with big silver
buttons as largo as an after-dinner cof-
fee cup saucer The trousers stop at the
root Of the calf and below are WOODEN
stockings and CLOGS.
The women wear gorgeous red and
white caps, red bodices and white skirts,
which fall to the knees and below nave

caps come down almost to the eyes end
