4 Splpu,lld stock

In the millinery line we have seen this season
no stock superior to that OF Mrs, Gregg, on Court
ST. She has quite eclpsed herself in providing
brilliant array OF beautiful goods for the ladies'
She viii have no formal opening this season, but
her store is brilliant with charming goods, and
she and her assistants are ready to show goods AT
all times.
The great variety of shapes and diversity of
styles OF trimming quite bewdered our reporter
yesterday; yet he succeeded in putting down a
few notes OF elegant styles, somewhat in this
way: First We were shown an elegant Paris
made hat of black lace, embroidered with ire
descent beads. Another was most beautiful
Lilac Bridal Hat" with trimmings of Langue-
doc lace, embroidered in gold. Another bcauti-
full thing was an erru satin bonnet with trim.
mings Of fern leaves and peonas; another, a
polkadot ribbon hat-very pretty; elegant tur-
ban hats; the beautiful LcghorH hat called the
"Lissa;" round turbans for chidren-a very tasty
style. Another style expected daily is the yam
chon" or ''Juanita' shape, which will be as charm
ing as any We have mentioned; and so on ad TO-,
from which sort of idea may be had Of the ele-
gance and variety of the stock
1t is certain that Mrs Gregg means to maintain
her pristine influence in the trade. She is re-
ceiving goods daily; and her stock contains all
the novelties of the season in shapes, ribbons,
flowers feathers, ornaments, &c. On shapes her
prices range from - cents upwards so that the
full range of prices will be offered buyers may
take their choice
RESHAPING.
Mrs. Gregg, by.the-by, has received new blocks
for reshaping hats and will do such work on
short notice.
1t is quite evident that no lady can afford toI
miss calling on Mrs. Gregg when intending toI
buy millinery goods, and she asks all to call and
see her stock
