K.—BROOCHES. 
1-3. Brass brooches. Worn by the women in the 
mountains beyond Simla, towards Thibet. 
This brooch is curiously like the aneient Irish 
brooch. It is nsed as the only fastening to the 
long woollen plaid which serves all the purposes 
of a dress to most of the village women. This 
plaid is most artistically arranged ; first passed 
over one shoulder and under the other, it is 
fastened across the ehest with the large brooch 
and ehains; it is then wound round the waist 
as a skirt; and, as it is a good length when 
fastened by the woollen Cords or waist bands, it 
falls plaited at the back more gracefully than 
any fashionable lady’s pannier. Add to this 
long false plaits mixed in the hair and falling 
low over the shoulders, ear-rings from which 
depend long silver ehains drooping with the 
hair and passed from ear to ear, a bright red 
bunch of wool, worn as a chignon and filling 
up the space between the plaits, the whole sur- 
mounted by a small red-crowned cap, a veritable 
pork-pie. Europe might learn a lesson in 
artistic simplicity from these village girls; few 
are good-looking, as we count good looks, but 
all possess a free careless grace, though upon 
them falls the entire bürden of work, while the 
men saunter along with distaffs in their hands, 
or idle and smoke in the sun. To complete 
this rough sketch it should be remembered that 
they are seldom to be seen with the long broad- 
mouthed wicker basket on their shoulders, in 
which, or on which, all burthens are deposited, 
a basket merely differing slightly in shape and 
its larger dimensions from that used in the 
mountains of Switzerland.
