The Massachusetts Institute Of Tech

Another New Departure.

The building adjoining The STAR Office has
recently been renovated and greatly improved
and today was opened up as one Of the branch
stores Of the Emerson Shoe Company. The
event was of considerable interest to the male
section of Washington's population, for this
famous company makes e specially Of fine
grade shoes, at common-sense prices, for men
and boys. They make footwear ranging from
80 up, and each grade is guaranteed to be as
good as can be made at the price. The Wash
ington branch is only one Of twenty that this
company has established in all sections of the
country. II is under the management Of Mr..
b. E. Murray. formerly of Howell 4 Murray,
and he has associated with him Mr.. Z. X.
Stewart who has been for years in the shoe
business in this city with Dalton Strickland.
The Emerson shoe store has started out in
Washington under most favorable auspices
and promises to be great success.
The building itself is admirably adapted
for its present uses, and the central
location 1t occupies makes it all the
more desirable. The store room has been
handsomely fitted up in oak. with large oak
chairs for the convenience of the customers i'll
trying on shoes. and the large front window
has been finished in marble and supplied with
heavy plate-glass mirrors. so that 1t makes a
splendid place for the display of goods. The
company has introduced popular novelty in
setting up a shoe backing stand. where Emer-
son shoes are BACKED free of charge. The
Emerson shoes are made in the great factories
OF X. Il. Grover & Co. at Brockton, Mass, by
skillful workmen and under the personal super
vision Of the firm. The lasts that are used
have been adopted after years Of experience,
and the company guarantees that only the
highest grades of leather are used in these
shoes. One of the results of this system is
that the shoes are smooth and well shaped and
need no breaking in" The company sells di-
rect to the purchaser, so the latter practically
gets his goods at factory prices

Last night, my dear, dreamed of you,
And still more sweet, IL that can be,
More fresh, more fair, your image seemed
Than even the bright reality,
As on me, like star, it beamed,
The while, my dear, dreamed Of you.
i told my love with many sigh,
For / have loved you long and well;
But TO nv grief, my love you spurned.
With scorn my worship did repel.
.Ah, love for love should be returned"
I said, land have loved you WE'LL"
And then you vanished from my sight,
A lovely anger in your eye;
Angry had been the words YOU spoke:
You left me sad TO muse and sigh,
And. filled with anguish, awoke,
And thought Of those harsh words you spoke.
At length l said: " Twas but dream,
Nor dreams can shake such love as mine;
Besides, by contraries they 90,
And so in this l see a sign
That bodies me any Thing but woe;
Thanks, friendly dream, for such q sign!"
Tits sign that not In vain
Ny heart does So with passion burn .
For you, my dear, and only you.
pray you, love for love return,
And let my dream be proved untrue,
And let its sign be not in vain
