GIRLS OF FRANCE.
THE SEAFORTH TARTAN. The popularity, of the .Seaforth tartan among the girls of France was the subject of amusing references at the first annual reunion at Elgin of officers and men who served with the 6th Seaforth Highlanders, a unit of the famous 51st Division.
Colonel S. Macdonald, who commanded the battalion in France, said: "Our first rest out of the trenches was welcome. We revelled in an old-fashioned thorough Scottish Sunday morning wash, in spite of the admiring gaze of the petite Miss Belle France."
• " We look a prominent place among the girls of France," said Captain W. R. Petric, amid renewed laughter. " Other regiments had not the same way with the girls as we had."
