The ancient costume slnco the time of the Romans has been a short white tunic, supplemented with thick white wool "bag-trousers," and a heavy Plled coat whose lines of rich em broidery exactly follow the lines of the old Roman body armor. The German-Bnlgar-Turk looters carried away as many of the embroid ered garments as they could find. The clothing brought from France by the American Red Cros3 has taken tho place of the stolen goods. Hospital garments of all kinds, balh robes, pajamas, hospital Jackets, are being worn by the men in the villages in place of their historic national costume.
