bought during the 18th century. Today Estonian traditional costume is the most spectacularly exposed at "laulupidu", the national song festival, both on the stage and among the audience. Local differences were noticed by the first ethnographers describing Estonians. The main regions fall into South, North, and West Estonia, and the islands as a separate group, reflecting ancient tribal peculiarities. South Estonia This region is the most conservative in dress. Maidens in Southern Estonia bound their hair with a ribbon plaited from colourful pieces of cloth or woollen yarns. Instead of a skirt, the Setu women wore a garment resembling the Russian sarafan. Setu women were extremely fond of silver ornaments: on their chest they wore a conical brooch, in addition to various silver chains. Traditionally, the large setu brooch was only worn by women of child-bearing age; nowadays older women, too, use it as a decoration.

THE POOR FARMER'S DAUGHTERS Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer who only had seven children as his treasure. They were all girls, named after every famous queen the country had had. However, none of them was his child they were all orphans, found in the nearby forest many years ago, during the Great War. The eldest one was Margaret; she had long dark shiny hair and big blue eyes. She was a true beauty compared to the other maidens at the village. However, she had a bad side as well the only one she ever cared about was she herself. And when living at the county-side, being an egoist is not good. Lucia was the next. This year she would turn 16 if she hadn't played with a magical potion in the childhood. But, unfortunately, she fell in the kettle filled with liquor of youth and now remains as a 10-year-old for the rest of her life. It's sad, but at least she looks cute with her short blonde hair and cherry-red lips.
was not to the liking of the Estonian audience. The Estonian poetess Anna Haava (1864-1957) reshaped it into poetic form under the title The Daughter of Lembitu 1 Editor’s note: both were popular light romantic pieces rather than challenging pieces demanding the attention of the audience. 2 Exact date unknown. (Lembitu was a 13th-century Estonian leader and freedom fighter against the Livonian Brothers of the Sword). The two-act opera begins with a spring morning scene, maidens are singing, and Aino the daughter of Lembitu appears. A young Estonian Meelis expresses his love for Aino but she declines him, in her aria she appeals to the spirit of her ancestors for strength. In the second act the historical Battle of St. Matthew's Day (September 21st, 1217) has just taken place and Lembitu is dead. Aino, the people, and the knights arrive; the knights demand surrender. Aino is disdainful of both the knights and Meelis, who appeared with them
