WATCH-DOGS. 203 nearly similar to that worn by male Ghubbres, * but of gaudy colours, usually crimson ; a scarf, tied around this, falls behind, fluttering in the breeze. The dress is a pair of very ample-coloured drawers, and a chogah, or cloak, of striped chintz or silk. The dress of young maidens is a low, cylindric cap of coloured silk, and a chogah, or cloak, of the most gaudy and varied col...ours. They seem clad in the wings of but- terflies.
