New styles for hunting costumes. This is not a group of Mexican bandits but a number of Albanian peasants about to start on a boar hunt. Their baggy trousers, embroidered "wes'kits" and fur-trimmed jackets make a unique hunting costume. They gathered for the hunt after a convoy of American Red Cross workers with relief supplies had arrived in their mountain town and reported having seen boars on the trip
