179 GENERAL REMARKS
linen or cotton, white or printed; the white always furnifhed with
a fringe or border.
The women of Ruffian Lapland wear filver ear-rings, and fome-
times filver collars, which go round their necks, and are connected
with the rings in their ears. There is fo {mall a difference betwixt
the male and female drefs in Lapland, that the good miffionary
tells us, he has frequently known man and wife change habits
through miftake, the man putting on the woman’s, and the wo-
man the man’s clothes.
The dreffes fo fully defcribed, of cloth, furs, and fkins, the
gloves, fhoes, and other articles, it muft be obferved, are the fole
labour of the women, the men in Lapland undertaking the ceco-
nomy of the houfe, in cooking, and other matters, which in
other countries are performed by women; differing in this from
the reft of the world. Several utenfils of wood are alfo made by
the women ; and the beft fculptures of Lapland are the workman-
fhip of the female fex.
