Tomorrow is the last day of the Palais Royal’s “Opening.” Thank you, and you and the thousands of you who enable the writing that the annual “Opening” of autumn fashions here has become interesting and instructive not less to merchants, milliners and dressmakers than to the ladies of Washington and Baltimore. The 1895-96 gathering is being pronounced incomparably super- ior. No wonder. With increasing patronage, with heads to the various departments having the experience to know, quickness to see and cour- age to act, the stocks cannot but be superior in every respect. a wonder that we are first with the “Opening” of the autumn season— a teacher and leader appreciated alike by merchants and the public. “Opening” Souvenirs. The “Opening” and the complimentary prices quoted as souvenirs terminate tomorrow at 6 p.m. Nor is it Since the souvenir list merely gives the regular and complimentary prices, let us give some details: The New Gloves. New Costumes. Of course the new shades known as cane, buff, primrose, yellow, corn, Disque are here. While the ultra-fashionable glove has wide embrotdet wil wear the narrow—therefore both styles are here. You'll note that the souvenir list quotes the $1 Gloves at 85c. Let us add that they will be tried on at our risk; that white, black, the new yellows and other shades are here in four-butten kid for ladies und misses, and of dogskin, with sutomatie clasps, for men and boys. $1.33 instead of $1.50 for the “Palais Royal” Kid Gloves. These have been a specialty for eighteen years. Coming direct from the maker and the distribution of great quantities enables best gloves at least pr’ thus the claim is truthfully made that the § “Palais Roya!’ Gloves equal those usually solid at $1.75 pair. The 1895-96 “Palais Royal” Gloves for ladies are made of French dogskin, suede kid and chevrette, 4 but- tons, 7 hooks and S-button-length monsquetaire styles.

Fice Dispensary. Messrs. M. I. Weller, C. C. Lancaster, T. W. Smith and Tracy L. Jeffords, represent- ing the Eastern Dispensary, called upon the Commissioners this morning for the purpose of getting the latter to include in their stimates to Congress an item of $10,000 for the purchase of the building and ground occupied by the dispensary on Delaware avenue. The dispensary, they stated, was doing excellent work, and the ground could be purchased for very much less than it was really worth under the contract the trustees now had with the owner of the property.

The high board fence which has sur- rounded the new Congressional Library building is being torn away, and the pass- ing public now. gets a better view of the stately proportions and classic beauty of the structure. The fence was not removed until the grand stairway and main ¢n- trance to the building was completed. Heretofore it has been possible to get a view only of the upper stories from the outside, and it is probably just as well that such was the case, for now the public, in- stead of getting piecemeal snap-shots at the grand structure, will find it burst upon their gaze a complete and gloricus who!e. Improving the Grounds. That fs, it is practically completed as to outward appearance. Of course, there will be work for years on the interior. The ap- pearance of the building will be greatly <nhanced in a few weeks, when the grounds surrounding it are put in better condition. Some grading will be necessary in the course of the landscape gardening to be done around the house, and a stone coping of the same description as the walls inclosing the Capitol grounds will be put on the inner edge of the pavement. As long as the weather will permit, work will be pushed in finishing the grounds. Gran- olithic walks will be laid, driveways to ‘he porte cochere corstructed, fountains put in and the whole place beautified. Work on the Interior. There will be no cessation of work upon the interior of the house this winter, but all hands will be kept busy and laboring full time. There are a multitude of things which can be done, irrespective of climatic conditions or the weather. Painting, stucco work, decorating of different kinds, finish- ing the marble work, putting in apparatus, laying floors and paving courts, and a thousand-and-one other things. ‘The sandstone flagging upon the landings of the outer grand stairway will be laid this fall, and the main entrance will de- mand further attention. The tunnel connecting the Library build- ing with the Capitol has been completed, and no traces of its construction remain upon the surface. This will be used for es- lablishing rapid transit for books between the two buildings and furnishing easy coins munication. —_—_+2+___ AMONG THE TOILERS.
