HEART OF A MAID.

AT the purple edge of evening, when
the lesser lamps are bright,
When the Best-Beloved comes to seek
a sign,
When he questions, questions, ques-
tons, taking counsel of the
night
Shall we give him any answer, heart
of mine?
Shall a sigh be mark of yielding?
Shall a blush be flag of truce?
Shall we let our eyes speak to him
for a sign?
Shall we seek the victor's face, and be-
speak the captive grace?
Shall we tell him, shall we tell him,
heart of mine?
When the hours are framed for glad
ness, when the day and night re-
'joice,
While the Beloved still INQUIRIES
his sign,
When his lips are set to silence, and
his Wooing has no voice
Must we tell him, must we tell him.
heart of mine?
Still the walls seem firm enduring, still
the Wanting banner flies,
sui the conqueror has no littlest.
tell tale sign;
But my vigil knows no rest, and the
traitor in my breast
Flutters, Tell him, tell him. tell
him, heart of minei"

Companion.

accommodate the fancy sleeves of the
bodice and blouse. The volume of
these sleeves, however, will be below
the elbow and the fit at the shoulder
will be of the best conservative tailored
snugneSs.
Strappings have by no means been
overlooked as a fashionable feature
of the modes, and this style of trim
ming will be wider this season than
usual A pretty plan which is already
gaining popular favor is to insert a
narrow bias band of velvet, silk or
fancy material between two strappings
of the dress fabric. Braid and cord
are also used to border strappings and
tucks and are highly fashionable.

Cheerfulness is in the air. The drag

BROAD sHoULDERED EFFEcrs

All of the autumn models in coats
and hlouses thus far seen tend to give
width to the shoulders. With the
straightforward corset and enlarged
hips the narrow shoulders were i'm
possible, and now the great aim is to
widen them with collars, wide revers
and trimming lines set far apart. There
is no question that the autumn wraps
will all have commodious sleeves 10

CLOSE AND KEEP THEM CLOSED.

Public sentiment in st. Louis will as heartily sup
port a renewal Of the anti-wineroom movement as it
supported the original movement from the beginning,
for the reason that local good citizenship will not be
content until the wineroom evil has been suppressed.
This crusade is in line with the general determine
ton for good government. Much Of the crime of a
great city Is due to the existence of wineroom dives.
These places are the resort Of Objectionable charac-
tiers of both sexes. Thieves and reckless women are
prominently the patrons Of the winerooms. Places of
this sort should a%ssuredly be closed and kept closed.
The statement of the Reverend Father Cofey, chair
man Of the Anti-saloon League, to the effect that st.
Louis is now orerrun with winerooms, reveals a condi-
ton that calls for correction. The submission of evil
dence in Father Coney's possession, proving that
the law against winerooms is 1t being steadily and gen.
orally violated, should be followed, by remedial ac-
ton on the part Of the proper authorities. Public
sentiment demands that this action be taken and that
the supremacy Of the law be not spasmodic but
permanent.

FOR A GREATER REVENUE.

Congratulations are due the members Of the st.
Louis Board of Equalization for their efficient work in
assessing property for taxation. An increase of nearly
$26,O 600 in valuations will add greatly to the reve-
nues Of the city-something which is needed in the
efforts to make this a better municipality.
A start has been made in taxing the franchises OF
quasi-public corporations not under the jurisdiction
of the State Board. Criticism directed at this assess
ment will hardly bear inspection 1t IS the first time
that franchise values have been assessed under the
law passed Mt the last session of the General Assem-
bly,.
The increase in the value of real estate is S15,-
$500. This represents in a degree the growth of st.
Louis. New Office buildings, increased land values on
downtown thoroughfares, and the spread of the
residence district are all included in this gain.
Not the least important feature of the increased
revenues which are promised by the advanced assess
ments is the fact that the people will get the worth
of their money for all taxes paid to the city. An ad-
ministration whose first year Of service has been
marked by busineeslike methods in every department
has created a confidence in the performances of the
Mayor and his associates.
For every dollar of revenue in excess of that Sc
cured last year an adequate return of benefits will be
given. No padded pay rolls will stand as a private
business Of politicians. No extravagances will be
permitted in any branch of the government. An in
creased assessment under such circumstances is worth
much for advancement of st. Louis.
