LAD lES, in order that you may procure the
"VENTILATING BONNET and CAP PRESERVER,"
registered pursuant to the Act of Parliament for the protection
of Original Inventions, 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, be sure and ask
for it. Be sure and ask for it, as the system of the Drapery
and Millinery Business preclude their (specially) introducing
the "VENTILATING BONNET and CAP PRESERVER" to
your notice ; Retail Drapers and Milliners may now,procure it
at the usual Wholesale Warehouses, and of the Sole Manufac-
turer, 2, Beresford-terrace, Walworth, London, who will con-
tinue to forward them by post for One Shilling, and one Post-
age Stamp, until Ladies experience no difficulty in procuring
them. _ _ .

-.7A very useful invention has recently been introduced be-
fore the public, more particularly concerning the ladies,who
wish to be economical in matters of dress. Every lady knows
that hair oil and perspiration soils and'destroys bonnets of silk,
straw, and other delicate materials. Mr. R. W. Metham has
invented a neat little article to wear under the bonnet, to avoid
its being soiled. It is very applicable to bonnets worth dying
or cleaning. It may be worn in winter and summer; is exces-
sively light, and not heating, on account of its ventilating pro-
perties.
It will be the means of preserving a bonnet from de- '
struction, and seems in every respect a useful and novel inven-
tion—we recommend ladies to try it. Oil silk, India-rubber
cloth, and other patents, in use for this purpose, inflict not only
headache and loss of hair, but also subjects the eyes to dis-
tressing pain."—Times.
May also be had the VENTILATING SILK DRESS and
COAT PROTECTOR (price 3d. the set of four pieces, or 4d.
by post.)
The invention prevents the unsightly staining of the dress
by perspiration under the arms, and supersedes the use of oil-
silk, pronounced by the faculty an unhealthy expedient, at a
much less cost.
