CALICOES are of different kinds, plain, printed, painted, stained, dyed, chintz, muslins, and the like, being all included under the general denomination of calicoes. Some of them are painted with various flowers of different colours; others are not stained, but have a stripe of gold and silver quite through the piece, and at each end is fixed a tissue of gold, silver, and silk, intermixed with flowers.
