| The Latest Fdshi0ns-Since the invention
and successful introduction of the Celebrated
Duplex Elliptic Tor doubled Spring Hoop
Skirt, by Mr.. J. w. Bradley, of New York
the ladies throughout the country have given
up the idea Of discarding the fashion of
wearing hoop skirts on account OF the pecu.
liar and graceful manner IN which the Du-
pick Skirts adapt themselves to every ext
gency and emergency. So generally accept
able have these Skirts become that the ladies'
regard them as special tayorite, in view
of the superior FlexiDility, Lightness and
Durability Combined in their Manufacture.
They also consider them far more Econom-
ical and Comfortable Hoop Skirt than ever
has or can be made for all Crowded Assem-
blies, for the Promenade or House Dress
Any lady after wearing one of these Skirts
will never afterwards willingly dispense
with their use. Long experience in the
, manufacture of Hoop Skirts, has proven to
! the proprietors OF this invention, that Single
E springs will always retain that stiff, unyleld-
ing and bungling style which has ever char.

Vests, Bradley and Cary, to turn out ovel

: Manufactures in New York, they fec
