Looking up the word plaid in the
dittionary, you would find that it is
a rectangular woolen garment cross-
barred with different colors, and, so
this means that there are plaids and
plaids, but the most interesting one
is the original Scottish worn by the
Highlanders.
The colors for the Scottish plaids
were made from genuine vegetable
dyes that were fast of color, and the
yarn of which the colors were made
was honestly spun and well woven.
The weaving was very complicated
and the patterns were learned by
heart, even to the last thread, and
handed down from mother to daugh
ter. In the olden days of the Scot
tish Highlanders, each clan was
known by the pattern of its plaid,
or “Tartan.”
The plaided portion of a High
lander’s suit and the shoulder blan
ket, now known as the plaid, were
all in one piece. The wearer wrapped
this long strip around his body at
the waist, after carefully plaiting
it into folds that suited his fancy,
and then buckled his belt around
him to hold it in position. The long
free end was then carried up the
A TOUR IN BOOKLAND
(Jack Rochelle)
One rainy day a book that had
been lying around for years caught
my eye. As I turned the pages I
found stories that made me feel as
though I were right there sharing
the thrills of boys such as Jim-
Hawkins, Tom Sawyer, and many
others. I could be in South America
one minute and France the next. I
could be a king till I tired, then a
tramp, or a bandit. To think that
this book might have been thrown
iway!
Today we can have nearly every
kind of book we want. All we have
to do is just go to the library and
choose one we like, get our card,
and take the book home. Now we
can have a round trip ticket to
wherever we want to via the
Bookland Express. Books are prob
ably the most important things in
our lives. If we trace our history
we will find a time when there
were few books. Let us make the
best use of our books.

now Mrs. W. Bowke Cockran of

still celebrates her birthday on No

Perhaps those who have birthdays
on December 25 can find some one
who will give their birthday, but if
I were they I should not desire this.
To have the same birthday as our
