Shawls.
1t there be one rite Of shopping more sacred
than all others in the estimation of women it is the
purchase Of an India Shawl. A bonnet is the toy
ola season cloak may outlast two winters cos
tune il not likely to survive long, and even furs
fade and grow thin, and are at last thrown away,
but one Of these Eastern wonders Of the loom out
wears everything in its owners wardrobe, and
may even descend to her daughter with its beauty
unchanged and its usefulness unimpared. OF
course, anything so precious is costly. and what
with the consciousness that she is about to spend
great deal of money, and that she will obtain in
return something that will be of life long use, a
woman who means to buy an India shawl is pre-
ternaturally grave. She studies and compares
and reflects; she puts questions without end; she
tries on shawl after shawl, and she asks to have
dozen Of others put upon the shoulders OF lay fig
urcs she inspecs every inch of the delicate fabric
to be sure it is the faultless thing that it seems,
and then, at last, she buys and goes away looking
as If at last she knew exactly what perfect happ-
ness was.
This pretty scene has been acted scores OF times
within day or two, at the store of Messrs Chand-
Ter & Co, Nos. Is, q and 30 Winter street, and
will probably be acted of times more before
the vast stock Of India shawls which they have
just received is exhausted. These are not only
unusually beautiful, but wonderfully cheap, hav
ing been imported from India through Messrs.
Kilburn, Kershaw & Co., London, on such terms
that Chandler & Co. are enabled, and do perfect
justice to themselves to offer them at very great
discount from the usual rates. Filled India shawls
that ordinarily could not be bought for less than
1920, can now be obtained for $780, and 500
will now procure of the reversible shawls that
once, last year, could not be bought for less than
$500. The owner Of the latter style has practical
ly two shawls, since she can, by merely refolding
it, present either the medallion or the river pat
tern to the eyes of beholders. Ifany one prefers
a still more modest price, the $50 shaws are real
ly beautiful, and perfectly finished and matched;
and there are hundreds Of shawls offered at S75
that would have been considered extremely cheap
at Sl25 last year. The striped shawls, which,
Notwithstanding the popular be lief that the old
der in India never changes, giving place to new,
seem to grow more elegant every year, are shown
in great variety. The price Of these has been so
much reduced that some Of them are really far
cheaper than ordinary wooden shawls, and the finer
kinds cost about half as much as formerly. If
ever there was time when it was duty to buy an
India Shawl that time is now, and the place is at
No. p Winter strect.-BOston Globe.
