Wn are glad to see that shawls are so ex tensively popular this winter. For several years we have called public attention to the
graceful character of this description of wrap. No mnntilla, ever made, equals the shawl in

Among our wealthier classes the In
dia shawl is becoming quite common. Square
shawls of this exquisite fabric may be had for all prices, from one hundred dollars up to six or seven hundred; and long shawls for sums ranging from three hundred dollars up to a thousand, or even more. L. J. Levy & 00., of Chesnut street, Philadelphia, have had, ' for several years, the finest assortment of those Cashmeres ever imported into America.

T. S.
Evans & 00., another fashionable dry-good’s firm of Philadelphia, have a beautiful Chenille

Douglas & Sherwood, New York,
is peculiarly adapted to the pre sent season, combining as it
does all the advantages of a hoop and quilted skirt. The bottom is bordered to the depth of half a yard or more with white quilting, edged with a
heavy cord. Three light flexi ble steel hoops are introduced in the upper portion of the
skirt.
The back forms an ad TILE IBABELXA SKXRT.
