Origin of shepherd,g PInid.s.

The shepherds plaids, which is the correct name for two colored checks or plaids, are being shown in all mate rials By the way, does every one know why they are called shepherds plaids.' ' In the highlands every fighting man formerly wore the plaid of his clan. as he would paint the arms of his house on his belongings, and for the same reason that few could read his name even if he were able to write it. The simple folk who belonged to the clan only as servitors or dependents did not wear the clan plaid. Perhaps they could not afford to own it. At all events, they wore the simple two color plaid, which to present day taste is prettier than the startling combinations of the chiefs of old.

fCopyrIght, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles-)
 When Jean and Tom were married they had a remarkably fine setting out for housskeepsng. Jeanie's father built the house and presented it to her, and her mother superintended the furnishing. Everything was on scale of the utmost comfort and everything bespoke refinenent and cultured ar tistfc taste. There were hard wood floors. high ceilings, walls covered with paper that would make charming Background for pictures. there were and bits of wood carving that were worthy of such young people as the two who were to live in the house, and that was saying much.
 The rugs, tapestries, fine china, cut glass and bric-a-brac left nothing to desire, and the curtains at the windows were a dream Of beauty. Jeanie's Aunt Caroline who came on for the wedding from a bare little home in Montana, a check being sent her by Jeanie's father for the purpose. stood transfixed with Admiration.

 "Ah, we'll Tom may turn out a dis cipfine One never can be sure before hand about husbands"
 1eanie protested indignantly.
 My dear Aunt Carolina, Tom Hazel teen is a perfect angel, and much too good for me. Come and let me show you the wedding presents"
 As is the custom with fortunate brides, Jeanie had chests of silver pearls, rubies and diamonds, pictures i. statuary and books. The home " ould ia so thoroughly appointed from the beginning that 1t was difficult to imagine a lack anywhere. and it was
