OPENING.
On Thursday n Great Event Takes Place
In Memphis.
LoWenEtein's Dry bod Palace WITH
the Display of Fall Fashion,.
An Exciting and Pretty Time Among
the Ladies.

1t was no less profoundly philosophiC
han foppish-that remark of Shakes.
peare, Icostly thy habit as thy purss
can buy The number of ladies who
get on In life on the merits of a pretty
taste in dress, is no less than that o.
those who owed their elevation to q
pretty face and a plump figure. 1t is not
only the natural instinct, but it is also
the duty of a woman to dress well.
Hence it is that the people of Memphis
are 50 much indebted to the Messrs.
Lowensteins, corner of Main and Jeffer-
son streets. This establishment, en-
phaticalIy the dry goods palace Of Mem
phis, offers at all times splendid induce
ments to the ladies.
THE OPENING
this year will not be inferior TO anything
of the sort on record in the exciting dry
goods annals of Memphis. This unique
event is down on the bills for Thursday
next. We are assured that the Messrs.
Lowensteins have made unusual prepa-
rations for this season. The mere men
ton of the fact of the opening would be
enough to draw crowds of the beauty
and fashion of the city to the dry goods
palace, but as this is to be a rather eX-
t~raordinaTy affair, we cannot resist the
temptation to give it a more than ordi-
nary notice. Never was fashion more
capricious than now, and "eostly thy
habit as thy purse can buy" reigns pre-
eminent in every brain. Thronging at
the counters, fashionable bellies gaze
longingly at marvellous dainties in lace
work, with intricacies of pOetical fancy
wrought in fairy fabrics stitch by stitch;
magnificent silks in statuesque beauty
from richer looms than %
"The bright-hued silks of samercand; -
superb shawls, transporting the imagina-
ton to the solemn palms, the amber
the citron groves, and shadowy
wales of the East.
THIS WINTER
is expected to be a more than usually
lively one in Memphis. In the first
place, there is more money in Memphis
than ever before. Then, again, nearly
all our people have entered OIL that stage
of prosperous advancement when the
mere n~ecessaries of life cease TO be a
trouble. We are to have the Exposition;
doubt it will be open for some pur-
pose or another all the season, and there
never was a proper chance offered the
ladies of this city before to display their
and elegance. The EXPOSE
ton Building will afford it. Then,
are to have two first-class
Iheaters in full blast. We are to
have the finest opera troupe that
visited this city. In view of all
these pleasing anticipations, it was but
proper for the Messrs. LOwensteins to
in, as they did, a greater and better
stock than was ever laid in in
any dry goods store in this part of the
country. They have imported a vast
and varied stock of black and colored
'ilk suits, the finest that could be had
n the Partisan market; also the most
suits in poplins, crepe de chine,
attn de chine, serge, alpacas, etc. On
Thursday next they will also exhibit
he richest velvet cloaks and talmas
imported by any house on the con-
linent. These solid and costly at
fractions do not stand out in
grandeur. There will be
IN endless variety of embroidered
jacques, talmas, shawls, silks, dress
FOODS, mourning goods, and other ct
,eteTas that the brain of an editor could
never understand. The ladies, how
yer, will know all about them.
A HAPPY THOUGHT.
All these dressy charms, be it remem-
,ered, are to be unfolded to the delight
d gaze of the Memphis fair ones on
Thursday. The evening exhibition,
which it was the pride of the Messrs.
Iowensteins heretofore to get up for the
.dmiration of the beautiful ladies of the
ity, and which it was their unspeaka-
lie joy to behold, will be postponed this
eason. The reasons for so doing are
old. During the Exposition many Of
he elite of our surrounding towns will
ONE to Memphis to spend a few days
With their city friends. The Messrs. Lo-
rensteins have concluded to give, dur
ng the progress of the Exposition, an
display of great brilliancy, so
hat sour country cousins" may have
he benefit thereof. This wise arrange
1ent of the Dry Goods Palace gentle
is good; it will add to the attrac-
ions of that gala time.
We would gently but firmly impress
MS pleasing fact on the minds of our
weet readers-the opening will be on
