The original dr<>HH of the hlgbluuder
w l i (he belted plaid. Thla waa
piece of tartan cloth, two yard* broad
Jiod four long, which waa drawn
around the waist In nicely adjusted
folds and tightly buckled with a belt
The lower part came down to the
knees in much the same manner
the modern kUt, while the upper part
waa drawn up and adjusted to the left
tfkoulder, so that the riglit arm might
be perfectly free. Thla upper part was
the plaid, which waa used us u covering
for the shoulders and body lu wet
jeeather. and when the use of both
•1ms was required it waa fastened
across the breast with a brooch, often
curiously enriched. A brooch waa also
used to fasten the plaid on the left
•boulder. To attire himself In the belt
ed plaid required on the part of the
highlander no small amount of dexter!
t f . The usual way wua to lay It on
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lie down upou It awl then
buckle It on. The lower end waa fas
tened at the right hip. The utility of
such a drees In the hlgtilunds is ob
vious. for the pluld rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepured to
pass a night In the open air hi the
most Inclement weather, while the loose
Undergarment enabled him to wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ease. It was thus peculiarly adupted
to the warrior, the hunter and the
shepherd.—Isrndou Mall.

getting ready to drive tbo famishing

INFORMATION FOR
YOUNG WOMEN
A t the time of the Centennial in
kilr delphla, in 1876, the Young
W om en ’s Christian
Association,
then six years old, sent out circulars
to warn girls against coming to see
the Exposition with the ieea of get
ting work. Notwithstanding this
there were hundreds of girls stran
ded who exhausted their small sav
ings in three or four days and found
no work; how to protect them was
a problem which is well remembered
by those who were managers of the
Association at that time*.
Desiring to meet these conditions

destination in
Portland is a safe one.
3. See to it that you accept no
directions from either men or women
on trains, if unknown to you, and
that you report to the conductor any
advances made. You must depend
upon yourself and the railroac ofli-
cials for information
concerning

Any questions will be an
swered by the
