"Tho madamo is so well known all over tho
west and especially Is she so well known in
Lincoln that I am surprised that you have
not heard of hor, MaUaino Wallace's parlors
aro tho most elegantly furnished I have over
seen nnd nothing could bo nicer. Tho entire
suite was built for her at Sixteenth and How
ard in Omaha, and is so arranged that no
matter how muny ladles call at one timo to
bo fitted or measured, each ono has a private
apartment, elegantly furnished. Madamo
goes to Europo every year nnd to Now York
twice, for Ideas and novoltlos. Sho buys all
her goods in person, trimmings and ovory
thlng and makes up ft dress of any kind com
plete from tho goods in stock, avoiding all
troublo of matching goods at u dozen stores
etc. Or, if preferred, material may bo furn
Mied by pation and the dress muda to order.
In tea gowns, party drosses, wedding trous
seaus and flno work generally Madamo Wal

hero in Lincoln in tho wardrobes of our finest

will interest anybody while in Omaha, to
