He was en route from India, heading 'shack to 'his home in the Scottish _Highlands way up in Ross-ahire. We had not been talking very long until I noticed that there sseemed to be an unusual amount of activity among the fair ladies of +our office staff.

Now this was a bonnie -looking lad, but we ,have lots of personable young men coming in And out of our office from time to time. Now, what had occasioned the special flutter among the lassies was that this young fellow was wearing the kilt and a right splendid figure he cut too. Speaking about it, he said that his garb seemed to attract a good deal of attention in Toronto, but there was no self-consciousness about this chap. No exhibitionism either. He simply wore , the kilt because he had always done se, no matter where his travels had tak- en aken him. It was 'his natural dress and that was that. "It's, very comfortable, too," 'he added in his soft Highland voice, "I wonder more people don't try it over here." And just the ot'hed'day I happgn- Used Machinery 1.

He is a young Toronto teacher 'called Jack Mc- Aliid'ter. ?Faking his Hirst trip to •Scotland a few years• agile he de- cided to invest in a kilt. It is his Contention that it was, the best in- vestment he ewer made. ISincethat time he has hitch -hiked his way all over IIblorth America, 'Rarely does fid fail to get a lift. The unusual set of a thumlber ,wearing the kilt 'attends to that. Naturally this appends to his sense of thrift, but there is more to it than- •that. " Na matter what the occasion, yoµ are always pro- perly dressed when youear the kilt. 'Phis reduces luggage to a minimum. What's more, despite all Sassenach propaganda to the con- trary, the kilt is one of the most comfortable and sensible garments man ever devised. Its voluminous, folds insure warmth in raw wea- ther and yet, by the nature of its air-conditioning, a kilt is not too warm on hot summer days. I think young McAllister has the right idea. The more I think about this kilt business the more I be- lieve we would do well to give the skirt a try. You might object that it is not native dress for this coun- try. However, I have the word of no less authority than the Lord Lyon King of Arms for Scotland, Sir Thomas Innes, of Learney, that no matter ,.what the land of his birth may bre any man bearing the name of any of the established clans has a perfect legal right to wear the tartan of that clan. What I think lies behind the Canuck's unwillingness to try this 'colorful and practical garment is his self»consciousness-a feeling of embarrassm'erbt. After all, Jack 'McAllister reports that the question he is most often asked' is --'well you know what about underneath. To this he has the perfect answer: "The usual," he says.
