ladies' OF Memphis, Who admire every
thing rich. rare and elegant, that the
grand opening Of Paris fashions com
menced at L, Kremers this morning;
they all know Il; havs been awaiting u
for weeks; and are at this moment feast
ing their eyes on the neaiest, richest and
prettiest goods "a mode. Such is the
variety Of superb fabrics that we opine
Il win take week or more to even glance
at them, and that the street railroad cars
for sometimeto come will stop many times
daily opposite the great Paris Fashion
depot with crowds Of visitors, all anxious
to see and know what the beauties Of
bon ton shall wear the coming winter.
To our notion the wealthiest and hum.
bIest can be equally pleased, for the
stock is pretty well graded, and affords
the poor in purse an opportunity Of pro
curing the same style OF goods, though
not 90 costly, as those blessed with better
means. We have never indeed witnessed
more tasteful, unique or extensive
assortment Of dress material.
The house Of L. Kremer is SO well
known for integrity, economy and enter
prise. that any praise on our part for its
bringing into the market the latest Paris
fashions would be superauous 1t has
been the custom Of this establishment to
let no place in the country get ahead of
it in the importation Of dress goods;
hence il occurs that New York is some
times behind Memphis in possessing the
haut ton fabrics of France, and when the
Norfolk line of steamships with Europe
is completed the Bluff City will always
be ahead Of the Empire City in this re-
spect Such an achievement certainly
deserves mention, as it reflects not only
credit on a long-cstablished house, but
shows what good clear-sighted people
can do by working smoothly and silently
for the prosperity of the community as
we'll as for their own interests. Besides,
this direct importation is of great impor.
lance to purchasers, because it enables
the house of L. Kremer to save the ex-
penses which the passage Of goods
through many hands undoubtedly creates,
and therefore II can sell on easier terms
to the trade and at cheaper rates to indi-
viduals than any other first. class estab-
lishment in the city. =
After an experience of eighteen years
as an importer of millinery and Paris
fancy goods among us, we think L. Kre-
mer thoroughly understands the tastes
and requirements Of our ladies'; and
judging from the display we saw in the
Show Room this morning, nothing that
gives grace to the form, adds elegance to
the beauty of the person, and keeps the
body warm and comfortable, has been
omitted in the selection of so choice
stock. 1t seems as if all tastes had been
consulted, and consequently every lady
will be agreeably surprised on finding
the very thing she wants close at hand.
1t would occupy too much time and space
to enumerate all the advantages Of deal
ing with this house; ladies, however,
will find out for themselves more infinitely
than we could tell them, as they take
peculiar pleasure in asking the price and
learning the particulars of almest every
thing they touch or set eyes upon.
What the fair ones at the opening are
now saying about the Astrakan cloak,
muff and cap, shortly to be the favorite
walking dress of the Empress Eugene,
would no doubt be entertaining to our
readers but there are so many express
sions of delight mingled with so many
longings, wishes, hopes, and exclama-
tons of 20 how / should like setr
/" How beautifulr' "How charming |"
How cozy" "Splendid" that even
the strongest attempt to picture their joy
would prove a failure. 1t can be seen
only in their beaming eyes and heard in
their gladstone voices to be fully under
stood. No doubt an examination of the
Astrakan set will convince any one of
their excellence, comfort and durability.
There are also many silk velvet cloaks
and opera cloaks, as well as rich dress
patterns, on exhibition; and the array of
bonnets, fresh from Paris, is indeed
magnificent. But we have no time for
description; every lady must go and
see for herself, and she will be highly
pleased with everything that meets her
eye at Kremer's.
We almost neglected stating that there
are extensive millinery and dress
making departments attached to this
house, where bonnets, cloaks and dresses
are made in the best modes and on the
most reasonable terms.
