The Garibaldi

Many ladies must remember wear
ing, in the los of last century, an
article of dress known as a "gari-
baldi," writes George Eyre-Tood in
the Glasgow Herald. AS mere
man can remember it, this was a
sort of shirt blouse, buttoned down
the front, and ending with belt
at the waist. 1t was not garment
merely named after the famous
Italian guerilla chief, but was a
reproduction of the garment actu-
ally worn by him, as shown in his
portraits. The vogue of the wear
ing of the garibaldi was result Of
the furore of enthusiasm for the
Italian patriot which swept over
Scotland when he paid it visit in
1863. Following wildly romantic
career as sailor, filibuster, drov-
err, shipbroker, teacher Of mathe-
mates and naval commander, he
had freed Sicily from the tyranny
of the Bourbons.
