Mrs. LyIes' Ladies' and ChiIdren's Hair
Dressing and Bathing Apartments.
AS bevy after bevy of st. Paul's fairest
daughters trooped out of the Opera House at
the close of the matinee performance yesterday
afternoon, the attention of a GLOBE reporter
was attracted by EXPLANATIONS of delight ap-
parently directed to the elegant appearance of
Mrs. T 81. Lyles' ladies' hair dressing estab-
Iishment on the eve of opening at No. q. Opera
House block. The scribes curiosity was
aroused and approaching the fact that it
would be the only opportunity to inspect so
elegant resort intended for the exclusive use
of the fair sex, he walked inside, the fact being
that after tomorrow tue bifurcated portion OF
mankind will be as religiously excluded as
though it was the entrance to the princely
seraglio of an Oriental monarch.
Upon entering the resort the admiration OF
the writer paid willing homage to the all per-
vading art of elegance, particularly noticeable
in the refined surroundings, gotten up in the
most modern style, and with superb taste.
In undertaking so expensive task Mrs. Lyles
has gone to an immense outlay, but that she
has not counted without her host will be at
tested by the patronage of a majority of the
cultivated ladies of st. Paul. A complete hair
dressing establishment. coupled with display
u
Chicago is pronounced novelty in st. Paul, and
one which will be most heartily Welcomed but
when to the above is added, number of bathing
rooms the departure is worthy the enterprise
of those who cater to the most refined circles
of the East
In order to give the reader an idea of the en-
terprise, the apartments will be briefly noticed
in detail. Ascending four or five broad, hand
some steps, the caller is ushered into the sales
room, where may be seen every variety of hair
goods needed In the most refined or fashionable
bOudoir. The salesroOm contains two large,
upright cases, in which are displayed all de-
scriptions of hair goods. A counter extends on
either side of the room, on which are placed
two handsome show cases. They differ from
the upright cases inasmuch as the latter are
used for long hair goods, such as braids,
switches etc., while these contain crimps, waves,
frizettes, curls, puffs, martigues,
| fascinators, together with an end
| less variety of hail ornaments.
Two elegant toilet cases also adorn the room,
containing perfumes, hair oils, pomades, for

lace curtains the visitor is shown the childrens'

skilled artists are engaged at work on orna
ments for the hair.

resort inviting as any of the famous clut

mentis in the rear of the reception room, consist
| ing of four ladies' bathing rooms, which are
| sumptuously furnished, and in which the lady
customer may regale herself with the health
inspiring luxury of the bath.
In conversation with Mrs. Lyles she stated
that she desired it expressly understood thai

been enormous, the prices would be quite as
moderate as at less perfect establishment
