Grand Forks Herald: Miss Jane
Thompson was a charmingly conspicu-
Gus figure yesterday in the Votes for
tune introduced in that country by
the Princess Marie, who is DESTROYS of
reViving the old customs and hand
crafts. The white bodice was woven on
Handstrika. The trimming was real
handmade lace, so cobwebby and fine
that it is a delight to the eye. The skirt
was of bright red cashmere, hand WOW

had a yoke effect of bright yellow sa-
tin, and-embroidered. A long dark
| green apron was faced with a strip Of
black cashmere embroidered in gold
thread. The belt Is of red leather
| richly and heavily embroidered. A LONG
/, silver chain is worn with this costume
and h bodice is fastened with a pref
tY silver pin, embossed in blue and
| gold, and is in the shape of a flag. The
collar was fastened with a large silver
| brooch, studded with brilliant colored
stones. The head dress completes the
| costume and is worthy to be called a
| creation. 1t is formed of red rolls COW
| cred with white a c n net placed
fiat and smooth, n the only attempt
at trimming was a wing-like wired
| fold of net placed on either side. The
whole effect was brilliant and capti-
waiting. Miss Thompson spent ali of
last year in Sweden studying condi-
tions there, Inc she speaks of the work
SO interestingly hat she creates a
| pleasing impression. She states that
| much is being done to revive the old
forms and customs, and when one sees
| all the labor expended on the national
costume and the time 1t takes before 1t
reaches a finished state, 1t almost
seems: as though the time might be
| better employed, but when one stops to
consider that the costume had to pass
| through so many hands and gave en-
pIoyment to dozens of women-then 1t
| seems time well spent and well worth
while.
