Always to be in Fashion. but They Never
Arc-Egyptian Plating.
At this juncture of the year tho
same prophecy is always made: Dur
ing the forthcoming autumn and win
ter season plaids are to be fashionab bly,
and generally worn
Those who believe in the prediction
always end by being deceived. Tartans
never become generally fashionable by
any chance.
Its history: The tartan is indeed "a
genuine outcome OF the primitive in
stincts OF tribal pride, which dates to
the forgotten past"
The difference of clan tartans are no
doubt traceable to localities. since the
women, who spun the wool from their
home tloclls, dyed it with natural dyes
found in the fruits, vegetables and
banks of their own noighborhood,
where the yellow poppy by the sea-
shore grew plcntifully, and the red
berries by the waysidr. there the col
ors Of yellow and red predominated il.
plaids.
Speaking of plaids, it is imagined
that dillingham; is, the plating OF
any fabric, silk or woolen-was first
adopted by the High]anders, nut l
learn that this is fa4' from being the
case.
Plating, a survival OF one of the
prettiest of fashions, dates back to the
Gimmest of pasts; and thousands of
years ago the Egyptians showed, as we
can see in their sculptures, as passion
ate love for accordion" plating as
we do to this day ,-Gentlewoman.
