Ancient Drass REFORM.

There is nothing new under the sun.
Apropos OF Miss Phelps recent articles in
The Independent on dress feform, we cut
the following from the Baltimore Ameri-
cans reprint of the first number of the
Maryland journal and Baltimore Adver-
tiser, dated Friday, August 20, l773: s
''That plain dress is the best ornament

inexpressible. Her complexion was

her lips such as a Reynolds only
can imagine, and her smile an
emanation of divinity. contemplated her

THE BEST PHYSICIAN. The celebra-

the gentleman very much, and he took the

he vented all his rage on the latter, ano

India shawIs.

OF late years the retail trade in camels'
hair or India shawls has assumed such
proportions that it is beginning to be re-
garded as one of the most important
branches of the dry goods business. There
are not more than four importers of these
shawls in New York, and the entire trade
of the country in these articles is in their
hands, the cost of the goods putting it be-
yond the power of country dealers to carry
an assorted stock. The prices of shawls
range from $400 to $1,000, and therefore
to keep large assortments and to hold
Stocks of varied patterns and different
make requires the investment of large
sums, which only the mammoth houses of
the city can afford to make. The force Of
of this statement will be admitted when 1t
is known that the present stock OF one
Broadway establishment is estimated at
100000. India shawls are named Dacca,
Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta Umritzer, &C.,
after the districts in which they are made.
The labor, however, is what chiefly de-
termines the value of shawl, even when
the texture is not the finest. The retail
trade begins with the coming OF autumn
and lasts until late into the winter. 1t
would be interesting to know how much
money is expended in one season in the
purchase of these goods; but as the deal
crs are always unwilling to make a state
ment of their business it is impossible to
arrive at the fact with any degree of
accuracy. Some idea of the magnitude OF
the trade may be formed. however, from
the statement Of manager of the shawl
department of firm doing large bush
ness in that class of merchandise in this
city, who informed a reporter of The
Tribune that twenty was the average daily
sale of India ,shawls in his department
