WINDOW ORAPERIES.
The AdaptahIIIty and Heterogeneous OF
Dotted Swiss

The AdaptahiIity and Picturesqueness of
Dotted Swiss
A lady seeking advice from an au-
thority in such matters as to how she
should curtain the windows of her new
house lsome forty-fve in all received
the unhesitating answer: Use dotted
Swiss" and the charming effect result
ing proved the wisdom of the selection.
This delicate material seems to be
more popular for window curtains than
ever before, and the reason undoubted-
" lies in its adapta ability, for il is suit
ed alike to the cottage and the more
pretentious dwelling. being not too
fine for the one nor too simple for the
other. The more sheer the goods, the
better the effect will be. however.
and by far the best finish for curtains
of this sort is full ruffied trimming of
plain Swiss about three inches in
width By sewing a tiny cord in one
edge of the ruffie, and gathering up at
the same time, it may easily be secured
to the selvedge edge of the curtain
either by hand or by machine.
Ruffied bands of the Swiss or cords
and tassels of white cotton are the
most suitable for draping. A new way
of hanging Swiss curtains is particu-
larly adapted to low windows. For a
window four and a half or five feet
high full valance eleven inches deep
when finished is used, the goods taken
lengthwise to avoid a seam This
should be trimmed at the edge with
ruffles or lace. The lower curtains are
supplied with small brass curtain
rings, which slip easily on a brass rod
set Just below the valance, the ad-
vantage of this arrangement being,
aside from its picturesqueness, that the
curtains may be drawn at will to act as
a screen They are not draped, and
look best when pushed to one side into
a space of about ten or twelve inches.
For six-foot window the valance may
be thirteen inches deep. and in both
cases the curtains should come Just

THE WILSON BILL

Report OF rue Aa(Orfty OF tne way mn
Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The majority
Oh the ways and means committee OF
the house yesterday made public the
report on the tariff bill. Mr.. Wilson,
the chairman, after a long argument in
favor of the bill concluded by saying:
We have believed that the first step towards
that reform Of the tariff should be q release OF
taxes on the materials Of industry. There can
be no substantial and bene acial reduction
upon the necessary clothing aud other CON-
forts OF the American people, nor any suostar-
dial and beneficial enlargement OF the field
Of American labor so long as we tax materials
and processes Of production Every tax upon
the producer falls with increasing force on the
consumer. Every tax on the producer in
this country is q protection to his competitors

market as to limit the number and lessen the
wages OF those 70 whom he can give employ

facturer himself passes under free comperitie1

A most important change n the bill proposed
from the present Law will be found in the gen
