Paper Underclothing.

An excellent and durable quality of underclothing has been made of a finegrain edpaperby Japanese manufacturers. After the paper has been cut to a pattern the different parts are sewn together and hemmed, and the places where the buttonholes are to be formed are strengthened with calico or linen. The paper is very strong and at the same tilne very flexible. After a garment has been worn a feW^hours. it will interfere with the perspiration of the body no more than do garments made of cotton fabric. The paper is not sized, nor is it impermeable. After becoming wet the paper is difficult to tear. When an endeavor i* made to tear it by hand it presents almost as much resistance as the thin skin used for making gloves.
