Save your kashmir shawl. 1t may
soon become as valuable as a fine old
Turkish rug. The use of imported Eu-
ropean wool in India threatens the eX-
tinction of what remains of the shawl
industry in that country, and it is i'm
possible for it to regain its lost posi-
ton. In fact, it is only matter of
time when a fine Kashmir shawl will
be curiosity; also the Indians, with
the advance of European civilization,
seem to be losing the art of shawl
making, just as American Indians are
forgetting how to weave baskets.
Dealing with the present day Kash-
Mrs. one notices how. with the arts
and the trade which Kashmir had in
oIden days, the businesslike and com
mercfaT qualities of the people have
also deteriorated. Kashmir state once
had shawl trade of 81 100000 a year.
