Definition

From draw + string.

All wore high-skin boots, coming far above their knees, and water-tight, but my rubber-boots had never been put to a test like this, only coming a little above my knees, where the soft tops were confined by a drawstring, and this water was very cold, as I had good reason to know. — A Woman who went to Alaska, May Kellogg Sullivan
