the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
This invention is designed as a convenient arrangement for enabling ladies when

a mirror so as to reflect from the looking glass before which the lady is sitting.
It consists of a mirror mounted on a pivot hinge which admits of vertical
adjustment, and attached by means of a screwed pin or plug, to a set of telescopic
tubes, which as they slide and turn easily in each other, allow of horizontal and
vertical adjustment.
The lower tube is fitted with two or more clips and straps for connecting
removably to the frame of the chair.
This clip is a piece of thin metal bent around and attached to the tube and
projecting beyond same on each side so as to embrace or partly embrace some
suitable part of the obair.
The strap passes through slots made in the two projecting sides of the clip, and
is furnished with a buckle or other fastening.
If preferred a second clip may be used above the first, and this second may be
loose, so as to slide up or down and be thus readily applied in the most suitable
position.
