THE decorative treatment Of the
window as regards It's curtains
L has long been either willfully
neglected or miserably misun-
derstood-that Is TO say. the design Of
a curtain has gone for nothing. and
Il has not been sufficiently recognized
as necessary that Il should always be
IN character with the furnishing Of
the room as well as with the partic-
ular style OF the window itself. For
tunately, with the increased interest
now taken In the general decoration

the better in such matters, Of which

JAPANESE DOGS.

In Japan people are very fond OF
small animals-indeed they prefer most
things in minlature-so the Japanese
spanlels are the smallest dogs in the
world.
They are generally black and white or
yellow and white, and the smaller they
arc the greater is their price. Two hum
dred and fifty dollars was lately paid
abroad for a tiny puppy Of year old
weighing about five pounds. Should
any one succeed in rearing a spaniel
Weighing only three pounds he can
command his own price for this almost
unique pet. People have been known TO
pay $3.50 for such a dog.
A little spaniel Of this kind can sit
easily on a mans head or even sleep in
his shoe. Still these rare pets need a
great deal OF care and attention-quite
as much as a baby does-for they have

which man will leave no means untried
That a frivolous woman can be at
tractiye to a certain class OF men Is,
alas, only too true She can have
bright eyes, just as the most vicious,
heartless, unprncipled creature can be
the possessor Of a perfect nose dim
pied chin or the most beautiful COM
plexion.
But frivolous women, attractive or
otherwise. are In the end a bane TO the
persons with whom they associate, for
they abhor the truths OF life make self
ishness a religion, cherish lies and cul-
tiyate all the artdcialties OF life. They
make a cult OF pleasure and Of war an
opportunity for picnics, Doubtless we
are every one OF US acquainted with one
or more Of these frivolous women. They
always assume a CHEEKY manner In
company and under all circumstances
that are public. they would prefer to
gossip rather than hear a really intel
lectual person discuss a useful topic;
they would rather admire their own re-
Election In a hand mirror than view the
wonderful sights from the citadel Of
Cairo or the panorama which is visible
from the hills above Palermo. II Is not
10 be wondered al that such persons
Will whisper during the services In tenn

chatter beside an open grave or discuss
bonnets while a person IS dying IN an
adjoining room. Who can be astonish-

HANDY DEFEATED IN PLAN 70 HAVE ADD|CKS DENOUNCED
Free Syere Met With Rebuke When He Tried to Get the
Democratic Convention to Express Sympathy
for Discharged Democrats.

An interesting swish in the undercur-
rent of unwritten events at the late
Democratic National Convention at
Kansas City was brought to light yeeter-
day on the arrival of the Hon. L. Irving
Handy from that city. Delegate
Handy tried to carry the fight OF Della
ware's discouraged Democracy against
National Committeeman j. Edward Ad-
dicks, the Union Republican State
leader, into the Democratic convention.
The attempt to put in the Democratic
platform plank denouncing Addicks
failed. The subcommittee on resolu
tions rejected Mr.. Handy's proposition
unanimously.
Handy's attempt and failure happened
this way. Before leaving this city for
the West, Handy made draft of plank
which denounced the aspirations OF MIR.
Addicks. With duplicate copies of the
would be.plank in his pocket the Hon.
Mr.. Handy made descent on the sub
committee on resolutions. The plank did
not mention Mr.. Addicks' name but Ie-
ferred to him as millionaire politiciau.
In Mr.. Handy's Characteristic literary
elcquence the plank called attention to
"former patriotic representatives OF Della
wne, the smallest and weakest State in
the Union" IL wound uD bv expressing

the party that was compelled to flee be.
fore the assaults of an opponent and ap
peal to the managers of the national
party to intercede. The members of the
Resolutions Committee asked Mr.. Handy
if he didn't think the fight between the
Democrats of Delaware and Mr.. Addicks
was local affair. The free silver Della
warean admitted that such is the case,
but pleaded for the sympathy of the ma
tional party. His pleas were in vain.
The subcommittee On resolutions
told the Democ attic delegate that
it could hardly be considered proper
for the Democratic convention to past
upon the action of the National Conven-
tion of the other great party in recog.
nizing Mr.. Addicks and the party OF
which he is the leader. The committee
said the affair, as far as the Democrats
are concerned, is local one and Mr..
Handy came back from Kansas defeated
in one purpose, even though he was vic.
torious in forcing the free silver plank in
his party's platform.
When seen at his office in the Ford
Building yesterday, Mr.. Handy eaid that
he brought back the draft of the AC.-
dicks plank. He said there was never o

tions was anywa near a frame OF mint
