This invention combines with the ordinary
cotton Skirt the advantages of our SILVER
SKIRT; the bottom hoops are the same as those
used in the Silver Skirt, the covering of which
cannot wear cf, while the upper ones are
covered with cotton. No lady, having once
worn one of our Skirts will be willing to wear
any other, as the lower hoops of all other
kinds are soon injured and soiled.
The best materials are used in their con-
struction, and from their durability and neat
ness they are destined to become
