Village - Internal.

Clothing.

Visited i(1541 Mustafa Hoca)'s household. His wife is a tailor, they say - she owns and uses a sewing machine. Household comfortable - among the wealthiest in
the village. Yet Must.'s wife in patches, threadbare blouse, pullover full of holes. Children all looked unkempt - dresses neither in good condition nor clean.
Clothing standard merely that of a poor village household. (Some of the women from better households seem to dress with care here - cf. kbal and children. Wld.
have expected the same in i(1541)'s house.). {gl: i(1541 Mustafa Hoca) was Mobile Headmaster - paid a salary, and the4n a pension}
