| The female Gnome wears subdued colors, like females in the bird species, to camouflage themselves when outside the home. They keep their hair outside the kerchief until they marry. Mom is a very good cook and her figure testifies to that fact. She is the first Gnome to receive a coin (Dutch) from me. I felt she had earned it before anyone else in the clan. Her apron was also an addition given her after many editions that were apronless. |
