This mirror is-hungin a yoke, 1-3, to the ends of which it issecured by thumbscrews a, which can be tightened or loosened, so that the mirrorcan be conveniently set-to any desired.inclination. Said, tubular rod is constructed ot'several sections fitted together on the principle of a telescope, or which may be arranged in any other suitable manner, so that its length can be regulated at pleasure.

The mirror A is put up in such a position in relation to an ordinary toilet-glass'that a person in making his or her toilet is enabled to see simultaneously the front and back of his or her head and neck, and the operation of arranging the hairfin the proper position is materially facilitated.

My mirror may also bc-uscd with adv-aw tage inqfitting dresses, or in all operations where it is desirable for a person to see his or front and back at the same time.
