NOW THE RAGE
Young Bradley Martin Re-
sponsible for the Boom
in the "KiItie" Trade
SCOTCH TAILORS GLAD
Devoutly Hope All American
Visitors Will Soon Follow
the New Workers. Lead
Special Dispatch to The Call.

EDINBURGH. Nov. 24-Scotch tall
sudden boom in particularly we'll
paying branch of their trade. Since
young Bradley Martin distinguished
himself by appearing in Highland kits
on his wedding day, quite number Of
orders have been received by makers OF
the national costume, who believe
real revival is coming and are corre-
spondingly elated.
Fashionable kits are expensive gar
ments. The materials employed are
costly and only skilled hands who have
served a long apprenticeship at the
work are competent to make them. In
consequence of the sudden boom
many workers in "tartans," who for
some time have had to content them
selves with poorly paid labor. in army
clothing factories in London, where
uniforms for the Highland regiments
are made, have crossed the Tweed
again and are finding steady employ
ment at excellent wages in the fash
ionable Quitting establishments OF
Edinburgh. Aberdeen and Inverness.
While the canny Scots openly ridicule
the taste displayed by American So
journers who insist on arrSying them
selves in Highland garb, they have a
shrewd appreciation of the money to
be made by ministering to their folly
and devoutly hope that next season
every American who shoots over a
Scotch moor will feel it incumbent upon
him to wear glorified kits.
The lavish and ostentatious display
of diamonds and other costly Jewelry
at the Bradley Martin wedding was
seized upon by some journals. both
Scotch and English, as a text for unc-
tuous discourse on the vulgarity Of
wealthy Americans. 1t is a case of
those who live in glass houses throw
ing stones. Fashionable English we'd
dings are by no means characterized by
modest simplicity. Opinions may differ
as to the taste displayed in making
elaborate emi-public exhibitions of the
wedding gifts, but there can be no
question that the custom generally fol-
lowed Of sending to newspapers for
publication detailed descriptive cata-
logues of them. often with the price Of
the articles attached, is atrociously
vulgar. Rich English folk are just as
fond as rich Americans of showing off
their wealth, and IL the Americans
usually make the finer display it is be-
cause they generally have the most
money.
