The LATEST FAsHIoNs.-Since the in
vention and successful introduction Of the
Celebrated Duplex Elliptic for double)
Spring Hoop Skirt. by Mr.. J. w. Brad
ley, Of New York. the ladies throughout
the country have given up the idss ol
discarding the fashion Of wearing hoop
skirts. on account Of the peculiar and
graceful manner in which the Duplex
Skirts adapt themselves to every exigsn-
cy and emergency. So generally sccep-
table have these Skirts become, that the
ladies regard them as . special fsvorite'
in view Of the superior Flexibility. Light
ness and Durability combined in thsi'
Manufacture. They also consider them
far more Economical and Comfortable
Hoop Skirt than ever has or can be made
for all Crowded Assemblies. for the Fro
mensde or House Dress. Any lady. at.
ter wearing one of these Skirts. will new
er afterwards willingly dispense with
their use. Long experience in the man
ufacture of Hoop Skirts. has proven te
the proprietorio,of this invention. tba
single-springs .dl always retain ths
stiff. unyielding and bungIing style which
has ever characterized them, whereas the
Double Spring Hoop, or the Duplex Ell
liptic, will be found free from these OBJ
jections. Notwithstanding the ability o
the manufacturers. Messrs. Vests, Brad
ley d Cary, to turn out over six thou
sand Skirts per day from their Larg
Manufactures in New York, they fee
obliged to request all merchants orderin,
the Duplex Elliptic Skirts. to send thei
orders a few days before they are wanted
if possible, as they are most constant,
oversold some Days ahead.
