with congratulations and the invitation ex-

''if that is the cause we will dispense with the
salute" so-although unwillingly-he con-

THE CALICO DRESs REFORM.
THE CALICO DRESS REFORM.
The Ladies Urged to Help the Cotton
Mill Girls by Wearing CalicO-The
Views Of q Merchant on This Subject.


A girl in one OF the eastern mills was reported
to have said that if every woman in the land
would buy but one cotton dress it would give
her two more looms to tend and would make
business good in every cotton mill in the coun-
try. This statement has been given wide pub
licity through the newspapers, and has at
tracted considerable attention. In some of the
towns in Massachusetts, it is said that the idea
was taken up by the women who formed calico
that material. The information is made
bat fSe ~ the
pretty and that the men were all charmed.
When utility and ornament thus go hand in
be ensured, and if these newspaper reports can
be relied upon it will not be long before calico
regains its place as the leading fabric for ladies'
Avenue merchants If he had yet caught sight
of even the crest OF this wave OF reform which
had started in New England. He said that he
had not, and did not appear to be very much
interested. He was then told that the ladies
found that calico made very pretty dresses, and
"W hal is 18th the matter With ginshams. indigo
prints, satfnes, percales, and cretOnnes," asked
the merchant, as he turned up his nose disdain-
fence is that the bottom is about falling out of
the calico market, and there is reason enough
for 1t. when better material at equally low
was q dollar a yard. and then we had the
French and the English prints. Then we be-
gan making them IN this country, and our
prints were so much better and cheaper than
the English that the latter were driven out of
the market Then the quality began to dete-
riorate and the prices went down. Other
fabrics came into the market, and the conse-
quence is that to-day have but little calico in
my house. The reason is there is no demand
for it."
"During the holidays" continued the mer-
chant, "There is some calico bought by those
who want to make presents to their servants:
but 1t Is no longer used to any extent. Other
fabrics can be obtained for the same price which
wear better and look better. This idea of going
back to calico is not reform in my opinion in
the interest of the public Nor do see how it
can increase the demand for cotton, be-
cause the ginghams and the indigo prints
are cotton, and the goods made are mainly Of
American manufacture. Besides there are the
silk mills and the wooden mills, which are as
much American Industries as the cotton mills
They ought to have some consideration, II
there was enough difference between the price
OF calico and other goods 1t might be q good
thing to advise q return to the mere econOmi-
cal dress, but the fact is that calico is not the
cheapest dress material. If some enterprising
paper would now interview lady who has
been buying poor calico and she would com.
pare 1t with what was offered for sale some
years ago, 1t might be a valuable hint to the
cotton mill owners to resume again the manu-.
facture of q decent calico. The market is sup
piled with inferior grades and the mill men are
making heavy profits"
