Post War Styles in Balkans. Graphic evidence of the enormous need of clothing which prevailed throughout the Balkans during the post war period, is given in this photograph, which shows a group of Roumanian peasants gathered in the grounds of the local convent for an American Red Cross clothing distribution. A thousand ragged youngsters, accompanied by their ragged parents attended this distribution of second hand children's garments from America. The distribution was presided over by no less a personage than Queen Marie, who is seen with the Mother Superior of the convent. The American angle of the picture is supplied by the Red Cross girl in the background, and a corner of the American flag which shows just to the right of the Queen's turban
