A Chair Carried nenea.h the Gown.

A Chair Carried Iseneath the Gown.
One of the most original inventions of
the day is little portable and invisible
chair. which is very light and easily ad-
justed under lady's gown, so that it
does not interfere at all with her walk
ing. Arrived at the point where the per-
son desires to rest, all that is necessary
is to assume a position as if about to sit
down on an ordinary chair, by which
motion the apparatus adjusts itself.-
