several times repeated, to-day
will be the first reception day
Tor the collection of Millinery
and Costumes just brought
from Paris, with certain add.
tons of our own production.
With these there will be a
display of Wraps, Dress
Goods, Silks. and Dress Trim
mings. 1t is our aim to place
before our friends, the public,
an assembly of articles of dress
and dress materials for ladies
wear the like of which cannot
be seen elsewhere-in this or
any other city, European or
American.
To accomplish this the
fashion centres of the world
are made the objects of the
most careful attention. The
collection that appears to-day
is the result of large expense
and great labor by many per-
sons. First-Our Paris office
and its efficient staff. Second
Three men go to Europe
together. One gathers Bon
nets, Hats and Costumes; an
other collects the Silks, and
another secures the Dress
Trimmings. Their researches
take them to each market in
Europe that offers attractions.
Meantime while they are COM
pairing notes abroad there is
cooperation at home, and the
sum of the whole combination
bears upon the opening of the
season, which for this Autumn
will be tomorrow and the day
after.
1t has been our custom to
have a series of Receptions,
dividing the interest of the
several lines Of goods into sew
eral Occasions, but this year they
are massed in one, and we
think no exhibition of novel,
exclusive and elegant items of
dress has ever been made to
equal that which will appear
here to day.

THE lover who has been Tilted or who
lives in dread apprehension of being
Tilted by the imperious beauty who holds
absolute sway over his heart and pocket
book may take courage. The Supreme
of Vermont has decided that ante nup-
tail gifts can be recovered by law when
the engagemea is broken by the in
tended bride. A resident Of that State
became engaged to woman living in
Minneapolis. II was arranged that she
should come to Vermont aud that the
marriage should take place there. He
sent her two hundred and seventy-hve
dollars to purchase her trousseau, and
ffty-ive to pay her fare. She got the
trousseau, but not the the ticket. She
married another man in Minnesota aud
had no use for ticket to Vermont,
The Tilted lover sued for recovery. The
Western beauty offered to return the
clothes but he refused and set mp the pisa
that there was an implied, though not
an actual condition which had not bsen
fulfilled and that the money had been sent
for specific purpose 1t was not an alb
solute but conditional gift which the
giver had right to recall when
the condition was not conf
piled with. He admitted that
the money was sent to purchase
trouseau. but not for another mans
bride. The Court took this view of the
law. After pointing out that an absolute
gift is irrevocable it says;
She received both sums for a specific
purpose and when she broke the engage
ment the law raised promise on her
part to refund them. The plaintiff did
not give them or her 'as an adventurer"
to help him win her favor, but in consid-
GRAFTON Of the engagement and TO enable
her to perform It. When she broke IL
he was entitled to have his money re-
funded We hold that the gifts were
not absolute, but conditional, aud that
when the condition failed right If ac-
ton accrued to the plaintiff to recover the
money.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
In the Breakers.


Philadelphia Telegraph.
The present session of Congress is
winding no in just about the way IL
might have been expected to do. The
House has been thoroughly demoralized
for more than week No business
whatever has been transacted, and there
ia no immediate prospect Of any. The
Democrats have at last found
themselves in condition to give
their partisan opponents very bad
twist This is done, not by an
aggressive movement, but simply through
staying outside the doors. The special
reason given for pursuing this course
is the action Of the Elections Committee
in insisting upon throwing out another
Democratic member, Mr.. VenRble, of
Virginia, and putting Lapgston, the col
ored fractional leader, in his place. The
Republicans already see their mistake in
undertaking to carry out this program
at this time, but they refuse to change
It, on the ground that it would be
dad politics" to retreat. Such a reason,
under the circumstances, is utterly abb
surd. Speaker Reed very well knows
