Lace and Button The Mlulater’* Tartan. Every clan of Scottish highlanders had Its own tartan, or striped colored cloth, of which the kilt and plaid were made. It is not so well known, how ever, that the clergy of the highland ers down to a recent date used a tartan for their weekday dress. Th? tartan of the clergy, as It was called, was a sober cloth of white, black and gray stripes. Ministers who did not care to don the kilt almost always wore tbe plaid or mantle of tbls material. In tbe eighteenth century when the high landers seldom went unarmed It was tbe custom of some clergymen to wear swords even At church and to be ac companied by a gillie, or servant, car rying a bow and sbeatb of arrows.’ Nothing could better Illustrate tbe ’dls- turbed state of those times than tbls practice on the part of tbe men who were pre-eminently preachers of peace and universal good will.—Scotsman. row oisi at Ehrlich s - OldvOnflUb Pence.
