LAKE SILJAN.
By NIKSAH


~ HE forested district round about
Lake Siljan is one of the most
- interesting bits Of country in
the world. in the matter Of local color
and folk-customs that have been pre-
served almost unchanged from earlier
time. Lake Snjan lies in the heart Of
Sweden, in a region still relatively
isolated. The lake is large enough
TO afford traffic for small steamers,
and the country boats Of the peasants
are numerous.
IN dress and customs. the people Of
the villages that dot the shores have
kept the variety and color that dis
tngulShed country districts before
modern means Of transportation made
the world a unit, forcing US all to
dress and act and think alike Thus
the village Of Orsa has even dialect
markedly different from its neigh
bors. which is said to resemble the
old Scotch more than Swedish Peo-
pie Of villages 10 or u miles apart
can be distinguished by their distinc-
tive dress.
The Sunday attire OF these country
folk has kept the vividness and
elaborate design OF other days. A
woman OF one village comes to
church in blue skirt, half covered
with a striped apron. her white
blouse showing Immediately clean
behind red and green bodice OF
satin On her head she wears
pointed black cap. Women from a
neighborIng village Will wear aprons
OF different stripe, white caps in
stead of black; from still a third
town the caps will be red, and the
aprons OF plain red cloth. fluted.
These matters are not decided by in
dividual taste but by the accident Of
birthplace.
In some OF the villages the men
have adopted a nondescript dress. but
in others. especially on ceremonial
occasions, they appear in all the mag
nificence OF blue waistcOat and frOck-
coat trimmed with red silk. leather
knee breeches with bright red tas-
sells, and soft blue knitted socks.
Something Of the color and pictur-
sequences of a vanished age shines
again in these Sunday gatherings Of
