A LADIES' TAILORING ESTABLISHMENT.

There are many fashionable women In NeW-York
who have longed for the time 10 come when they
could find within the limits OF the American metr0p-
oils a ladies' tailoring establishment where they
could have all the facilities for picking out the ma
terals they and for trying their gowns that
are TO be found In the great establishments of Lon
don. Paris and Berlin. Those VINO accustomed
to 20 abroad every year have been in the habit Of
buying their gowns In Europe because OF the greater
facilities offered there. and their return have
wondered that the merchants in this city have not
seen fit 10 open establishments to be on a sim
iar plan.
And this fall those who want to find such place
may be easily satisfied IL they visit the establish
ment OF Gerald Lyon, No l2s West Forty eighth
st. In the past there have been a large number Of
modistes who have given up part of their to
a department In ladies' tailoring. but place now
comes 10 mind which Is used exclusively for that
purpose.
TO one entering the establishment Of Mr. Lyon
almost the first thing noticed Is the excellent hight
by which one may examine the goods for sale. and
then the long lines Of tables with the cloths already
unrolled are arranged just they in the best
establishments where men clothed. There are
