_New Costume for Ladies._--The following paragraph, extracted from a
London paper (November, 1794) would lead to the conclusion that the
agitation regarding costume now going on in America, is not entirely
novel; the Turkish fashion having been introduced unsuccessfully into
this metropolis in the last century:--
"The young ladies of _haut ton_, who have invented _Turkish_
fashions, will not be surprised if their _husbands_ should follow
their example, and adopt the _Turkish taste for variety_.--No man
of sense can be _long_ attached to such _absurdity_!"
