- P. 336-337 "The scene is as grateful as it is novel, in benighted Persia, to behold Nestorian mothers leading their little girls to school, and often lingering, a half hour, with delightful interest, to hear them read. Notwithstanding their hard lots, - their not being allowed to eat with the men-their laboring in the fields- their ignorance and general degradation, Nestorian females still possess some very interesting traits of character. I have never seen mothers more affectionately attached to their children than among this people." This mother is wearing a plaid cloak around her upper body and a plain kerchief on her head. The cloak is worn over a full, wide tunic and trousers. Her little girl is wearing a full length tunic and a long jacket.
