II woman lose her chance OF heaven as she lift
her train and gazes 1aournfully at it, was OF
hand TO know how she could be benefited.
After some effort to resolve the meeting int
order, Mrs. Livermore introduced Mrs. Fiynt
from Boston. That ladys name is too vel
known to the public I'd require any special men

must be elastic. The material Is that which
is generally known as ladies' aud gentle.
men's underwear That specially used On
this occasion was OF a. r. Stewards
importation, with improvements patented BY
Mrs. Flynt, she trusting to tho honor OF all pres
ent not to infringe upon her rights. The chlld's
garment was the ordinary undershirt used either
| for boys or girls. It, however. WAS SO improved
upon as to make Of it an entirely new affair. Il
| had facinga Of muslin on the trout or back, and
| buttons and button-holes to fasten it ali the
| way down. Then other straps OF strong cotton
tape were applied, passing over the shoulder and
down each side to the front. and back to the
! bottom. Another tape band in the centre Of the
| front for boys, and the back for girls, was also
/ added. These we're used as supports for
all the garments, making the shoulders,
as they should be, the points OF support. A
series OF buttonholes in these bands served to
hold the under-drawers. .
Next the stockings, supported by elastic bands
creased in the centre, and fastening on Two but
tons at tho waist and two on the stocking. wore
applied. The outer drawers were next added,
which fastened on another row OF buttons, max
ing these three portions OF childs attire entire
y dependent upon the undershirt. The un-
elastic material applied to tha elastic gave firm
ness and prevented any clipping or displacement
OF the garments. They could be removed With
out separating them, or could ill be taken spart,
or changed without trouble A series Of loops
which could be extended waa provided
SO that the garments could bs made to
fit a growing child as long as they would last.
The buttons on these bands are applied suH-
cient]y below the waist to permit Of the lowor
under-ga.ments being changed without remov-
ing the upper. The outer-dravers were closed
ana fastened at the aide. Mrs. Flynt claimed
that the easy adjustment or removal OF these
garments would add fifteen minutes each dag to

Here followed 3 little dcsultory discussion
regarding. red flannel. The women without
surplus OF brains could not seem to understand

them more readilg, and betrayed their celestial
origin-angels every one Of them-by supposng
they must have an exact copy, even to the patch
es, if they Ind any. The discussion was de-
cidedly out Of order, regarding the pcculiatitios
of red flannel, as to Whether it did or did not
produce rheumatism. Another wished to know
with what tie tiuck material was to be repaccd
in summer, aud Was assured that there was
gostamer article equally elastic, aud answering
the same purpose in warm weather, and the uu-
elastic material could be applied to it In the
same way. The skirts were to be applied to E
waist in similar nanuer, 80 that no pressure or
strain should come upon any part Of tue child's
bodY.

they we're most comfortable and encouraging to
