A patent has been issued at Washington for an ingenious method of supporting articles of dress. It consists in having two or more supporting pieces of whalebone, wood, rattan or steel or any other material possessing sufficient elasticity and stiffness, applied to such part of a garment as is liable to become wrinkled, like the waist of ladies' dresses, or the spring part at the foot of pantaloon legs, so as to allow perfect freedom of the body, and the retaining of the article of dress to its former extended smooth surface.
