THE BELTED PLAID.
rhis Was the Original Dress of tho
Scottish Highlanler.


srottish Highlander.
The original dress Of The highlander
was the bcltcd plaid. This was n
piece of tartan cloth. two yards broad
nnd -four long. which was drawn
around the waist in nicely adjusted
folds md tightly blickicd with belt.
The lower part came down to tho
knees In much the same manner ms
the modern kilt, while the upper part
was drawn up and adjusted to the left
shoulder, so that the right arm might
Re perfectly free. This upper part was
the plaid, which was used rs a covering
for the shoulders and body in wet
wca ther, and when the use OF both
arms Wns required 1t was fastened
across the breast with n brooch, often
curiously enriched. \ brooch was also
used 10 fasten the plaid on the left
shoulder. To attire himself IN the belt
ell plaid required OH The part OF the
highlander no small amount Of dexteri-
~. The usual way was to lay 1t on
the floor and after carefully arranging
the folds to lle down upon Il and then
buckle It on. The lower end was fas-
tened ut the right hip. The utility of
such dress in the highlands Is OH
vioIs. for the plaid rendered the man
Indifferent to storms and prepared to
pass Il night In the open air in the
most Indictment weather, while the loose
undcrgnrment enabled him to wade
rivers or ascend mountains with equal
ease. 1t was thus peculiarly adapted
to the warrior, the hunter and the
