SHERMAN'S NEW PATENT AS YOU LIKE IT SKIRT This is not only a new fashion, but a new article of Skirt, made on an entirely new principle, so novel and yet so perfect that the ladies contend it should be called Perfection. We would here call particular attention to the ks o t Like` It., or flexible joint, extending down the trunt of the skirt; it is so constructed that the springs fold inwardly, but not. outwardly, and readily yield to the slightest pressure, thus alloiving them to collapse, so that the skirt occupies the smallest possible space while sitting, riding, or in passing through a crowd, and yet the moment the pressure is removed, the skirt resumes its original and beautiful shape. The novelty and. utility of this contrivance needs but be seen to be appreciated. But for want of space we might here publish thou sands of extracts from letters we are daily receiving, speaking in the highest praise of these Skirts. OUR CORSETS are now so well known for their superior shape, mate erial, and workmanship, that it. is perhaps unnecessary for us to speak of them further than to say that we have greatly enlarged our assortment of styles, both of our own make and importation, and can now safely defy competition. we ask but a trial and are sure of your future patronage.
