Tho Greatest Event of the Season and a
Grand Success.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather for the past two weeks, Thurs
DAY afternoon the sun peeped out from
q cIoudless sky which added much to the
delight of the thousands of guests that
shrOnged Nine. Lambs elegant and
spacious parlors from O'Clock Thursday
afternoon until 10 p. M. Fully 1000 OF
our most aristocratic citizens responded
TO the invitation. Nine. Lamb received
In her usual elegant and gracious man
ner. She wore a superb imported gown
of eminence purple, relieved with clouds
OF real lace-iace that queen or empress
might envy. The gown was marvel of
elegance and simplicity, designed after
the 1880 style and one OF the first in
eminence purple and real lace brought to
America this spring, attlred IN this
beautiful gown, Nine. Lamb appeared as
usual a queen of fashion.
Mr.. Lamb, who is a thorough millinery
man. is noted for his excellent taste and
business ability in this direction. To say
that the reception was a success scarcely
expresses it. Mr.. and Nine. Lamb show
in a special degree the rare business tact
and executive skill which have done so
much to build up and enlarge their ex-
tensive business. Their ability is recog-
nized in all quarters, and their success is
certsinly deserved.
Their twelve assistants in the trimming
room and salesroom are thorough and
practical, most OF whom have been in the
employ OF this establishment for years.
These beautiful and charming young
ladies were elegantly gowned, and many
were the compliments the Nine. and Mr..
Lamb received on their selection of at
PENDANTS, who showed at a glance the
training they must have received
from the owners of this establish
ment. Two charming young ladies,
dressed in empire gowns and
bonnets mingled among the crowd
much to the admiration of the guests,
giving them all an idea of how those i'm
mense old-time bonnets are worn that
have been commented on by so many
newspapers lately,
Fresh flowers and lovely palms were
everywhere. Music from the dainty
touch Of an accomplished pianist as
usual RECALLED the guests, and many were
the admirable glances the fair and beau
tiful musician received.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lamb have done much
for this city and western country in the
millinery art; always first to show the
latest novelties, thus giving our ladies
The privilege of selecting as elegant mil
Inery and headgear as though they re-
Bided in New York or Paris.
The millinery in this establishment is
beautiful, more striking than usual, on
account of the elaborate use of jewels and
rare laces, the novelties in fancy straws,
ribbons, braids, feathers, untrimmed
hats ana bonnets, with an endless variety
of flowers and ornaments; in fact. moth
ing was wanting to please the eye OF the
most fastidious-
A lovely and noble effort, combining
business with a social event, both blended
in such delicate way as to produce
pleasant recollections.
Nine. Lambs customers and friends
have long since learned that they are not
expected 10 purchase on this occasion,
but to look and have the privilege of ad-
miring the hundreds of elegant pattern
hats import d by them each season. As
THE HERALD reporter crowded his way
among the large throng of elegantly at
tired ladies, the thoughts of one OF our
greatest writers suggested itself. 80,
daughters and wives, if you would be
loved, adorn yourselves, if you would be
adored, be beautiful
