6. Rich Woman: dress, 6 yards.

Her head dress is easily made of stiff white paper rolled up in

cornucopia shape and sewed securely, over this a long white veil or

scarf is draped.

7. The Rich Man: tunic, 2 yards; shirt, 2-1/2 yards; or 1-1/2 yards if

the sleeves and neckpiece can be sewed right into the tunic, doing away

with the under garment. If the costumes are to have repeated wear, it

will be better to have the shirts made separate and of a washable

material, they can then be cleansed more frequently than will be

necessary for the tunics. The Rich Man's chain can be made of the heavy

brass chain that comes for draping back curtains.

8. The Priest: under robe, 4-1/2 yards; outer robe 6-1/2 yards. This

costume will of course be greatly modified by the custom of the church

of which he is supposed to be a representative.

9. The King: tunic, 2 yards; shirt, 2-1/2 yards; robe of office, 4-1/2

yards. The King's tunic in general cut is exactly like that of the other

two courtiers (nos. 7 and 12) but handsomer in material and trimming.

The robe is just a straight piece that hangs from the shoulder and

trails on the ground.
