The recent advertising campaign in aid of our army's recruiting was doubtless suited to England, but so far as Scotland is concerned there is no more compelling kind of adver- tisement than the highland garb, for the Scottish heart still warms to the tartan. A garb no longer, strictly speaking, national even above the Grampians, the kilt is yet evocative of national fervor, martial spirit. There are, .Lowland Scottish regi - Made in Canada. A LIVELY PET.

The theme has some intoxicating One day, when out walking, I met elements to a Scot, and tempts to ; some ladies whom I .knew. I stood lyricism; a sober Sassenach may na- talking to them with the panther at turally interpolate with the question, , heel. Presently, the breeze caught 'Is the kilt an appropriate garb for 1 the lace edging bf, a lady's petticoat. modern war?" How does it suit with Spots pricked his •ears, and his head vintet trenches, or the ardent sum- gradtally went more and more side- ' mer •of.Gallipoli? Who best under- sta ?ds the Scot will readiest under- stand how this should be a question meanwhile difficult to settle. The more perfervid Highlanders who have gone through the present campaign in either field of action protest that the garb is an ideal one at any season under any circumstances, and the kilt, ,with its thick,' many-plyed body belt, is unquestionably a greater protection to the abdominal organs than any breeches. In Gallipoli the men who put off their kilts and wore but the khaki apron were speedily in the hos- pital. But mere disinterested wear- ers of the tartan (possible from Car- lisle) are by no means so enthusiastic about the kilt for Flanders mud or Oriental sunshine. That ticklish question apart, how- ever, we may safely take it that the ,.tartan is now being worn for the last time in war. Childers, when Secre- tary of State for War in 1881, made Scotland furious by a proposal to , abolish individual -regimental tartans and clothe all the (Highland corps in kilts of a uniform pattern. There was a gathering of the clans at Staf- ford House, : where a Scottish lord, tete rriontee, kissed his dirk and swore thereon that such a degrada- tion should not come to pass. But mach water • has gone under' bridges since then; the uncovered tartan kilt has beconxe dangerous to its wearer in an age of protective coloration,' and tire all-round khaki apron now worn by our (nen on active service is a charaet;eristieally stupid British eom- promise between sentiment, economy, and common sense. If we are ever to take the field again, the kilt itself Will probably be of a uniform incon- spicuous hue and the apron abolished, though tartan may be preserved for `tunes of peace. round the garden again. I could never feel angry with him; he made me laugh so. Is Built To, Wily ---- but in buildingbrain and body, often the daily diet lacks certain essential mineral elements.
