Betty McBride

The Reason Why

Scots girl BETTY McBRIDE could only give one reason why she sported the now-fashionable old-fashioned longs—they keep her warm, she says, when the weather is either windy or cold or both. All we can say to that is well, well.

In America it’s the fashion to wear this type of garment for Twisting, but in the snowy wastes of Greenland the Eskimos wear them for the same reason as Betty!

Betty is no Eskimo. She’s a bonny Ayrshire lassie who can’t help looking cute whatever the weather or the apparel.
