31 Days of Halloween-Day 16-Welcome to the Coven

I know nothing about these nine witches except, as is obvious, that these lovely lasses are from an upper-class private boarding school group of ca. 1890. Think Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975).

In fact, here is my advice for a good night in: drink gin—a lot of it—crank up Picnic at Hanging Rock and with the sounds of Gheorghe Zamfir‘s pan flutes still ringing in your ears, plonk yourself down in front of this picture and have a real good look at it!

BTW: if you can work out what point there is in having a hat-box that is too small for your hat, then please speak up. It is a mystery to me.
