O. WEST, No. «7 CHAMBERS STBBET, NEW YOBX, Are the owners of the patent and exclusive mannf&e tnrere of this, PATENTED DUPLEX ELLIPTIC STEEL SPRING * SKIRTS. ' This Invention connate of Duplex (or two) Elliptic Steel Springs, ingeniously braided tightly and firmly together, edge to edge, making the toughest, most el&#- tie, flexible, and durable spring ever u«ed, enabling the, wearer, in consequence of its great elasticity and flexi bility, to place and fold the'shirt when in use as easily and with the a&me convenience .as a silk or muslin dress. It entirely obviates and silences tbe only objec tion to hoop skirt*, viz: the annoyance to'the wearer as well as the public, especial! y in crowded assemblies, carriages, railroad cars, chnrch pews, or in any crowded place, from thedifflculty of contracting them to occupy* lug a small space. This entirely removes the difficulty, while giving the skirt the usual full and symmetrical form• and is the lightest and most stylish and graceful appearance for the street, opera, promenade, or house drops. A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort, and great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic Spring Skirt for a single day, will never afterward willingly dispense with the use of them. They are the best quality in ever; part, and by far the lightest, most durable, comfortable; and economical skirt made. Mer chants will be supplied as above, and ladies in most first-class retail stores in this city and throughout the different States. 4@“ Inquire for the DOUBLE ELLIPTIC SPRING SHIRT.
