"Thee" and "thon" longer heard, except Quaker homes-not outside them.) The distinctive dress has gone, But not wholly disappeared. It is still worn by a little independ- ent group of Derbyshire Quakers, who, about 1850, drifted from the main body on account of what they deemad its evangelical tendencies. Though no such reason for protest remains, tho little group keep nominally apart, and most of them wear the traditional garb. That garb, by the way, was but a survival from the 18th century,a symbol of the Friends' dislike of change. It was discarded when the awful truth become apparent that it cost more than conventionall clothes and had therefore lost the pristine simplicity.
