1865 NEW SKIRT
THE GREATEST INVENTION OF THE AGE IN
HOOP-SKIRTS.
J. W. Bradley's New Patent DUPLEX ELLIP
TIC (or double) SPRING SKIRT.
Wests, Bradley & Cahy, (late J. I. &J. O West,)
sole Proprietors and Manufacturers, 97 Chambers and
79 and 81 Reade streets, New York.
This invention consists of duplex (or two) elliptic
steel springs, ingeniously braided, tightly and firmly
together, edge to edge, making the toughfest, most
flexible, elastic and durable spring ever used. They
seldom bend or break and consequently preserve their
perfect and beautiful shape twice as Jonw as any other
Skirt,
The wonderful flexibility and great comfort and
pleasure to any lady wearing the Duplex Elliptic Skirt
will be experienced particularly in all crowded assem
blies, opera, carriage, railroad cars, church pews, arm
chairs, for promenade and House dress, as the Skirt
will fold itself, when in use, to occupy a small place as
easily and conveniently as a silk or muslin dress.
A lady having enjoyed -the pleasure, comfort, and
great, convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic
Spring Skirt for a single day will never afterward wil
lingly dispense with the use of them. For Children,
Misses and Yonug Ladies they are superior to all
others.
They are the best quality in every part, and un
questionably the lightest, most desirable, comfortable
and economical Skirt ever made. For sale in all first
c'ass stores in this city and throughout the United
States, Havana de Cuba, Mexico, South America, and
the West Indies.
Inquire for the Duplex Elliptic Skirt.

QOLDEN ALE.
Written when times were dull, and Golden Ale want
ed a market—many years ago.
What's the world to a man without children and wife,
He may toil, he may strive, the whole length of his
life,
Lot him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits 'twill cheer,
Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature
near.
Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll
be;
How his heart will expand when a babe’s on his knee;
Let him never imbibe till hia spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for ever be there.
The old maiden, too, had long thought to herself,
When no kind hand was near, she must get on the
shelf;
Uqt she tried Golden Ale, and its magical train
Brought beauty and youth to her check once again.
And 'overs in scores to her cottage repair,
Youth blooms on her cheeks and raven’s her hair,
Once again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale,
And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ale.
The old and the young to be hearty and hale,
Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale,
And their cellars well store for the cold winter’s night
As ’tia health to the sick, to the blind it is light.
