The lower end of the earQOis formed into an eyelet or loop 26 in which the connecting member of a triangular 'men ber 'is secured. This member has a pair of diverging arms 24 and "25] whose ends are'turne'd' towards each other, to provide an lnternal bearing for a. glass ,or'similar roller 27.- 'One end 5280f an elastiobandBOis looped about the" lower porslot 17.

The end 35 of the elastic band opposite to the looped end28 is. provided with a strip of rigid inaterial which is bent midway of this width to pinch the end of the band be tween the doubled over portion. of: the plate.

This plate 32; has triangular depressions 33 I therein and the material I the area vof the plate 10 is placed in a desirable position on i the inside of the shirt material of the terial.

Intermediate the length of the plate member a hook 3a is formed which is adapted to cooperate with the ear 20 by engaging any of the rectangular openings 21 inan adjustable manner. The plate 12 below the position whereon slot 17 is formed is also divided or split to permit the wearer. The nose 11 deflect-s the shirt material about the nose and the bifurcated plate 12 is then slipped over the constricted port-ion of the nose on the outside of the shirt material.

The device is now: ready the trousers in a comfortable position with out the necessity of tautening the belt for the proper draping of the trousers. The
