BRADLEY’S PATENTED DUPLEX ELLIPTIC STEEL SPRING SKIRTS. r Phis invention consists of Duplex (or two) Elliptic Steel Springs* ingeniously braided tightly and firmly together, edge to edge, making the toughest* mosteias* tic* flexible, and durable spring ever ujed; 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 same convenience as a silk or muslin dress. It entirely obviates and silences the only objec tion to hoop skirts, viz: the annoyance to the wearer as well as the public especially in crowded assemblies, carriages, railroad oars, church pews, or in any crowded place, from the difficulty of contracting them to occupy ing a small space. This entirely removes the difficulty, while giving the skirt the usual fall and symmetrical form* and is the lightest and most stylish and graceful appearance for the street, opera, promenade* or house dress; 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 every part, and by far the lightest, most durable* comfortable, and economical skirt made.
