The gourgeousness of the Roumanian peasants holiday dress would make any American or European women envy the woman of this Near East Country her wonderfully embroidered skirts, and headdresses. Hand embroidery seems to be an art in which the Roumanian women excels. Colors even if handled a bit lavishly are usually combined in perfect harmonies. The needlework is perfect. Handsome embroideries such as work by the Roumanian woman in this photo which was made by an American Red Cross photographer near Bucharest are for holiday use only. The Roumanian women today whom are fortunate enough to possess such fineries, are thanking their stars that the Bulgars, Turks or Germans, during the occupation days, did not find their wardrobes of fine clothing. Items of this character were taken awat from thousands of Roumanian homes in the general looting that accompanied the occupation period

Hand woven clothing has been the vogue here for thousands of years and only the war and its effect upon the sheep growing industry had brought about any cessation in the use of entire woollen outfits of clothing, inclusive of hats. The traveller there would occasionally find some of the population exhibiting a self conscious awkwardness in American styles, for the American Red Cross distributed a supply of used clothing to the destitute war sufferers
