The Red Shirt of ItaIv-

The red shirt, destined to become so
famous a symbol throughout Europe,
was not at first adopted by Garibaldi
for any fantastic or spectacular rea-
son. The English Admiral Ingram
says that the red shirt had its origin in
stern necessity and that its adoption
was caused by the need Of clothing as
economically as possible the legion that
GaribalH had raised for the liberation
or Italy. An offer was made by a
tradesman to supply at reduced price
large stock Of red wooden shirts. This
offer was eagerly closed on. Before
many years had passed the red shirt
became the symbol not merely Of the
legion. but Of the new spirit working
TOR the liberation Of Italy. - Atlanta
