Inventor of the Shirtwaist.
Josefa Osborn is dead, and if
the women of the nation, of the
whole world, for the matter of
that, only knew their unpayable
indebtedness to her they would
wear mourning bands on their
arms for thirty days and get ex¬
tra allowances from their hus¬
bands, fathers and brothers to
raise a glorious monument over
her bones. All the women’s
clubs, too, from Zanesville to
Zanzibar would drape their halls
and put suitable resolutions of
their great loss on their Minutes.
Mrs. Osborn invented the femi¬
nine shirtwaist.
According to the concensus of
feminine opinion, no single arti¬
cle of feminine wear and feminine
decoration has ever equaled the
shirtwaist. It is at once the
most comfortable, the most be¬
coming and the most adaptable
article in my lady’s wardrobe. It
is capable of being drawn out to
any extent, like an accordion. It
is formal and its informal, and
everything that lies between. It
is suitable for anything from a
seance with the cooking stove to
a reception at the Gotrocks with
a footman at the front door.
Its genesis was simple. Mrs.
Osborn saw her husband's soft
shirts, and ejmed them. From
that, as one who has a surface
knowledge of the sex will testify,
it was but a step to annexation.
Mrs. Osborn went to the man who
supplied her husband and told
him that she wished a half dozen
shirts built on the regulation mas¬
culine working plans, save slight
divergences here and there, and
with a decided curtailment in
their length. He demurred—she
insisted, and she won.
She wore them herself. She
gave them to her patrons, for she
was the most famous dressmaker
in New York, and from them
sprang the millions of shirtwaists
that have covered and made at¬
tractive the women of the world.
Mrs. Osborn was a wonderful
women in many ways. With no
experience, and only the necessity
for action to inspire her, she left
the ranks of New York’s “Four
Hundred” and, with only $51,500
to start with, built up a business
that took an entire building, em¬
ployed 350 persons and enabled
her to leave an estate of fully half
a million.
This was her material reward,
but the shirtwaist, to shift it from
its proper place for a moment,
was her crown of glory.—Clevt|

Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh That Contain
Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de¬
range the whole system when enter¬
ing it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputa¬
ble physicians, as the damage they
will do is ten-fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. .T.
Cheney &. Co., Toledo, O., contain*
no mercury and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure
you get the genuine. It is taken in¬
ternally and is made in Toledo, C.,
