MONDAY THE GRAND GALA DAY.
And Seventh and Sibley Streets the
Center OF Attraction.

Busy minds and busy hands have been,the
order of things for the past week or so at
the extensive establishment of Messrs.
Weiss & Weiss, corner of East Seventh and
Sibley streets, the occasion being the ap-
proach of their grand fall and winter
opening, which will commence tomorrow
morning.
1t is almost impossible to give an intel
ligent description of the mag
nifcent Transformation which will
have occurred within their vast salesrooms
by the time the doors are thrown open in
the morning, as the work was yesterday
more like confused curiosity shop than
anything else. But sufficient evidence was
prominent upon every turn when the re-
porter called, to enable him to give q
pretty good idea of what our readers will
be allowed to enjoy when things are in
their place and ready for the reception OF
visitors.
The thousands of patrons that constantly
profit by their patronage of this firm know
that Messrs. Weiss & Weiss never d. any
thing by halves, and this popular opinion
is more thoroughly confirmed by the su-
perb exhibition which they give tomorrow
than ever before.
Most elaborate preparations have been
made for the decoration Of the large store
room, consisting Of charmingly artistic
effects produced by the ma
terials from their millinery department,
~ II
velvets, feathers and lovely flowers. Two
large arches have been erected, one on eli
ther side OF the room, directly inside the
two large entrances. They are beautifully
trimmed with flowers, and across the
crown OF each arch is placed an inscrip-
ton, done in various colored rosebuds,
with background of smiIax. The effect
is OF superlative grandeur, and produces
& decided Impression upon the visitor
when entering.
The cloak department will perhaps re-
csive moro Substantial attention than any
other feature of the opening, and we'll it
may, for the ladies OF St. Paul have pever
beheld such an enormous stock of outside
garments displayed at one time in any
house in this city. The stock presents at
fractions IN every style of
manufacture and quality of mate
rial, and the prices range from
S. up to the hundreds. In this depart
ment are also exhibited their handsomer
suits in silks, pushes, velvets and other
fabrics.
The notions and fancy goods will claim
their OWL and astonish the eye of every
caller by their varied array of novelties
and new things.
But the charm for the ladies and the one
that will mildly turn their 'thoughts and
fancies.' is the dazzling varieties of the
millinery display. This enterprisine
/ firm will be able to show in one feature
| alone seyenty-fve magnificent French
| bonnets, imported expressly for this open
ing. They certainly are wonderfully
beautiful, and are marvels OF artistic con
struction, and must be seen to be appre-
| ciated. Besides every lady knows news
paper man coa!d neither appreciate mol
| describe love Of g French bonnet. Pyra
| mids Of imported flowers, in the very latest
French novelties and colorings are taste
fully arranged, and the gorgeous and bril-
liant breasts and heads of thousands OF
birds are placed by experienced persons
in proper places to show their varied
! beauties.
The show windows Of the store will oc
oasion q blockade of the sidewalks, We
fancy, in the eagerness of crowds to view
their arrangement. In one is shown E
large doll, dressed as a princess might deem
superb, seated under an elaborate arcl
composed of piumes and flowers; ard 81
on. We might tell columns to our readers
but will leave the rest for them to discover
and many things will they find in this be
wildering exposition that is offered fo1
their pleasure. The opening will last TO
three days, and all goods purchased
during its continuance will be sold at ten
| per cent. discount from regular prices.
The business sienterprise evinced b.
| Messrs. Weiss q Weiss during their entire
career is being constantly enlarged, and il
is a gratifying pleasure TO know that il
their line they stand at the front of ST
Paul establishments.
