AIDS MONEY MARKET.
SHAW RELEASES s12, 900 900.
Treasury WiH anticipate Payment
of Interest on Bonds.
LFrom The Tribune Bureau.1

Washington. Dec. 5-The Secretary OF the
Treasury has determined to take such action as
is within his power to relieve the money short
age in Wall Street. and 10 this end announced
to-day that he Will be prepared TO pay interest
on the public debt the amount of practically
$12000.000 in advance Of the dates on which it
falls due He gave notice to the holders of
United States bonds that the interest maturing
on the interest dates between and including
January and May 1. 1907, will be prepaid with
out rebate on and after December Is, 1906.
Checks for the interest due January 1. 1907. on
registered bonds will be mailed to the owners
or before December Is.
In anticipating this payment Secretary Shaw
said he was influenced by the fact that the
Treasury collected surplus revenues amounting
to 81. 100000 in November and that the current
month is also likely to be one Of surplus re-
cepts. In December. 1905. the surplus receipts
were S55OOOO0 The action taken. therefore. re-
leases for use in the business Of the country
sum practically equal to the surplus receipts for
November and December. In the present activ-
fly Of business the Secretary said. he was un-
willing to permit the operations of his depart
ment to aggravate present conditions in the
money market.
It was thought best 10 anticipate two quar-
terIy payments at one time, in this way hold
ers Of registered bonds Will need to send the
bonds to the Treasury to be stamped only once.
instead of twice.
The House to-day passed the bill permitting
national banking associations to make loans on
real estate as security and limiting the amount
of such loans. The vote was III to 81. The
bankers in the House urged the passage Of the
bill while its opponents insisted that real estate
was not a proper security for national banks
The news that Secretary Shaw had decided 10
prepay interest on bonds did not reach Wall
Street until long after the close Of Stock Exchange
business. It had been the prevailing impression
during the day that ne would do nothing at present
for the relief Of the money market. although the
announcement that he would be in this city to-day
served as a slight encouragement CAN money

Kitchen Windows.

From American Homes and Gardens.
Window shades are, of course, a part OF
the necessary equipment OF every kitchen.
Unless the room is naturally dark, dark
shades will be found better and more dura-
Bile than light ones. Shades Of a color that
does not make clear the interior workings
of the house at night are always to be pre-
ferred to semi-transparent shades, and the
servants who do not care to have the public
inspect their work will especially value
them. Curtains, light and pleasant 10 look
upon, are greedy collectors Of dust and
are out of place in the kitchen. Tuere are
times of course, when sash curtains have
their use owing chiefly to the location OF
the kitchen, but they should always be
avoided whenever possible.
Good window screens are Imperative In
most American kitchens No one need be
reminded of the affection of the flies for
the kitchen and all that pertains to 1t, and
while screens are not always elective, GER
tainly do not always keep out every fly,
they are the best help we have and must
not be overlooked. Doors also should be
carefully screened and applied with a
swing so they will close themselves If left
open by a careless servant or Indifferent
grocer'S boy.

Hatless Winter Girls.

From the Philadelphia Record.
After experiencing for several years A
series of shocks and surprises occasioned
by the sight of the hatless summer girls
defying the glare of almost tropical suns
at seashore and mountain resorts, we are
now treated to views of multitudinous hat
less winter girls.
Philadelphia SENS particularly favorable
climatically toward this new species Of
winter girl. One has only to take a troll
ley ride through some OF the suburbs OF
West Philadelphia to see these girls with
out hats TO recognize the popularity of this
new fad.
AT the seminaries and at Bryn Mawr Col
lege this Idea has a number of particularly
ardent devotees. They walk around the
grounds wrapped in furs about the neck
and shoulder which would furnish comfort
in Greenland: they wear long tailor-made
coats and sometimes wear leggings and
spats, but never hats. Groups OF girls, and
women, too, go to the stations, and call

A Figure Without Fault.

In an anonymous book published lately IN
Paris the following proportions are given
for the perfect body:
The head should be a seventh part OF the
hody-that is to say, that the height should
equal seven heads.
The forehead should not be too high nor
too large.
The eyebrows should be well marked ana
should end in a point
The lashes, to be beautiful, should be
long and silky.
The nose should be equal in length to
the forehead.
The chin should be dellcately rounded
and free from indentation.
The neck should be twice as long as the
nose and twice as big as the wrist. The
shoulders should be plump, of. the same
height and slightly rounded.
The arms should be rather large above
and should diminish toward the wrist.
The mouth should be shaped like bow
unbent.
The legs should be twice as large around
as the arms.

BUSY HOUSEWIVES.
Add to Their Work With Fancy orna-
r,eptS

ments.
Written for The Star.
To the careful housewife the news that
bric-a-brac, porcelain. statuettes and all
such dust collectors are again In fashion
will be anything but welcome, because of the
added labor which they always entail. But 1t
is true nevertheless, and the woman who
would have her house immaculate must re-
plenish her supply OF soft dust rags and
prepare to spend, or have her maid spend,
the greater part of the morning hours ham
ding with infinite care the endless array
of swinging cupids. pink-cheeked shepherd
esses and nyrnph-laden vases.
For this is exactly what it means to have
shelves and corners and brackets filed with
objects of ceramic art and If they are not
kept spotIess and shiny there is nothing
which gives a room more untidy and even
shabby appearance. Aside from this con-
slant busting, however, decorative brlc-a-
brac is a real addition to essential furnish
ings If it is chosen with taste. And in the
new offerings in porcelain wares there is
such a wealth of really beautiful effects and
such a welcome absence of undesirable OBJ
jects that an inartistic piece of bric-a-brac
is the exception and not the rule.
This does not mean, though that all OF
it is ideally beautiful. Some of the most
valuable porcelains come to US from China,
and many of them are copies of the very
ugliest gods of Mohammedan worship. But
these hideous conceptions of superhuman
creatures are so grotesque and weird that
they appeal to the fancy almost as strongly
as do the ideal forms of grace and beauty.

isn't it refreshing to see the spring ma

10 her companion they passed the sum
mery-looking windows of a big department
store. Usually they make one think of
organdie draperies in the frigid zone, but
this season our heavy winter garments have
seemed SO out of keeping with the mild
weather that 1, for one, have just been
longing to get into lighter weight clothing. y
1t 3s unquestionably true that this I'M
expectedly warm winter has wilted wo-
mems fine frocks and wraps more than
two seasons of hard wear could have done
with the thermometer standing around zero.
The result is that the wonderful new Of
ferings in lightweight dress goods be-
ing gathered up like hot cakes, and mer-
chants have already begun to mark down
prices, which generally reach reasonable
figure not before the first of May
The price, however, counts for little this
year because the materials are so irresiSt-
IDLE that the fair shopper would have them
at any cost, and her only problem is to
make a choice from the maze OF exquisite
textures and uueNampled colorings and de-
signs. If first predictions hold good, 1t IS
TO be a season of Dolly Warden effects;
that Is, so varied and mingled are the rain
bow hues in the new fabrics and so count
less the old-fashioned lowered patterns.
Though the beauties of the weaves counter
act any suggestion Of the grotesque and
make one long to live always in torrtd
clines where flmy fabrics are worn from
June to June.
However, not all the first offerings are
sheer materials, and lightweight tweeds
