long trousers and broad brlmmed hats.
Their clothes were fastened with
hooks and eyes because buttons are
worldly. And so are lamps, for that
matter, SO they do not have them on

to a sect they called Amish, who are
still stricter than the Menonites. and
broke away from them on account of
their worldliness. The children were
perfect little gnomes, or lepracaun. as
they call them in Ireland.

knowledge, which results in their

Miss Collinge was much struck by
the cleanliness of the Menonites'
homes. Their life was one round Of
work, with no pleasures but weddings
and funerals. The weddings are
usually celebrated in the winter when
