Excerpt from Atae
Now, it is usual for the girl who picks the finer kinds of tea to be dressed in muchbetterclothes than her basket-holder, and as A-tae was a beauty and tolerably well-off, she was smartly attired; true, her garments were not very costly, but they were new and iauntily worn. Her dress consisted of two pieces, the usual loose blue trousers and wide sleeved iacket, her hair being braided in queues which descended to her waist, while her head was protected from the sun by an immensely wide bamboo-hat.
