What is there to laugh about. After five years of war, in which they have had to take the men's places in the fields, these three Montenegren maids find no reason to look other than serious. They are the type of hard working peasant people that the American Red Cross is helping to rehabilitate. They have brought several children of their mountain village to a Red Cross dispensary for treatment and are returning home with basketfuls of supplies given to them by the American Relief workers. Note the "pork pie" bonnets, the national headdress of Montenegro
