This roaches Just over the hips and very rarely to midthlgh, where it Is cut off square and usually confined by a girdle at tho waist. Under this garment Is worn, a similar one of lighter skin nnd Momctimcs without a hood. The thighs are chid In one or two pairs of tight fitting kuco breeches, rather loose, but fitted to tho shape of the leg. They are very low in front, but are much higher behind, sometimes as high as the small of tho back. They are held la place by a girdle or thong around the waist and are 'usually fastened below the knee over the boots with a drawstring.
