Whether the silk shall be draped back or
hang straight, stop at the sill or go to
the floor depends upon individual taste
In cottages the effect will be better if
the curtains are run on rods through head
ings than if rings are employed.
Dining rooms are less formal than par
lors, but not entirely private to the fam
lily, so their windows should strike a me-
dium between bedrooms and parlors This
effect is gained by using either silk or
merceriZed goods, nets or madras. If the
latter. the colors should not be so light
as to suggest bedroom. Self-figured
madras is particularly good for dining
rooms. Musiins should be used there
only when the room is a tiny one. 1t is
too INFORMAL otherwise.
Any dining room draperies are suitable
for sitting or living rooms. Halls, too,
may take the same treatment.
AL bedroom draperies should be ligh.
and dainty. suggesting airinsss. Muslins
lowable material of any weight being
cretonne. This If used should always
be lightened by frilled under curtains
Madras with small light colors is good
for these rooms.
For small rooms in cottages valances
across the tops of the windows are par
ticularly good. as they help to give an
appearance of increased size. The side
curtains may be draped or hang straight,
but the open place left below the valance
lets in some of outdoors and thus in
creases the effect of space instead of cut
ting it off, as all other draperies do.
If a bathroom window is draped only
white muslin should be used.

For Thin Hair.

A perfect couture worn by woman
with very thin hair is descr bed thus:
The Ozark hair was parted in the mid
die and worn in what looked like deep
undulations at either side, somewhat
after the manner of the headdress gem
orally adopted by 0tero. the Spanish
dancer. There was IL similarity, and yet
there was d great difference. for In
reality the hair was not waved at all.
The hair was parted in the middle and
then drawn back to the nape of the neck
and fastened loosely with several fancy
combs. Then-right at the back of the
head-a large bunch of false curs was
carefully fastened. and these curls, each
one long and thin, were drawn to the
front at regular intervals to give the i'm
preston of undulations; tie tips were
caught down on the forehead by small
hairpins, and fiat comb entirely hid the
root of the curls at the back A head
dress of this kind could not make the
wearer feel that she was wearing a toII-
pet, because every one puts on a few adj
ditional curls-Sometimes

DRAPERY SUGGESTIONS.
Curtains Must Be in Keeping With
Uses of Rooms,

To make windows attractive is most
important in arranging a room. They
show more than any other one detail
of furnishing, and the material and gen.
eral character of the curtains used
should determine precisely for what pur-
pose the room is employed. By that
mean certain fabrics are adapted to spe-
cial rooms, and to those only if the house
is simple one. A palace may have
heavy lace draperies in the sleeping
house or apartment is to take them from
their proper sphere in the parlor. Nets
are not good FOR bedrooms unless the
latter are elaborate,' as the goods is too
much on the order of lace.
Heavy StuffS, such. aS brocadeS, etc,
absolutely unsuited to any but down.
stairs rooms-that is. the parlor, dining
room or library-and for small apart
ments or houses of the cottage type these
should never be used.
For the kind of homes / have in mind
pretty and comfortable, but not expensive
the lighter the draperleS the better.
Small or medium rooms are quite over
weighted by heavy effects at the win
doWs.
Windows in a parlor should be "dressy"
and this result is frequently obtained at
no great expense. AS a rule, two sets to
| a window are desirable, even in the tin
| lest parlor of an apartment for only in
| this way can one get softness and light
ness. The under set may be net or lace.
and II the windows are small l prefer the
| former as being daintier and giving the
effect of trimming" without any heavi-
| ness. Even the lightest lace curtain is
! fiat in aspect l. the background is net or
nottingham with a wide lace inset bor-
der. This combination may be used in a
| big or medium size room and will be at
tractive if net ruff1es are put on the
edges.
In small rooms the over curtains should
| be silk or one of it's substitutes and should

presented in .he state legislature en-
towering the commissioners to issue
bonds up to twenty or twenty-five thou
sand dollars for new almshouse. The
county of Montgomery was never in so
prosperous d condition as it is today:
their officers. I am sure, would be glad
to take up the bonds, to ne paid for as
the county desired:
1T would take nearly as much money
to put the present place in proper repair
as a new one would cost; the Superin-
tendents house should be built separately
at cost of 81 800 or $1,000 and it wouiu
building, and in consequence it would be
only question of time when it would al
have to be done over. I am sure, al
though 1 have not talked very much
about the subject to them. that the other
trustees would favor d plan OF this kind.
l shall make 1t point to take the matter
up with them at our next meeting and
find out their ideas regarding it.
THE manner of securing the money
would be the same as that used in con-
nection with the new courthouse at Rock
Vile. At the time that was contemplated
the commissioners were empowered by
the state legislature to issue ponds for
$4,000, payable at the rate of $1,000 or
$4,000 d year. The consequence was that
the taxpayers of Montgomery county
hardly knew they had an additional tax
to pay, and the result was one of the
finest courthouses in the state of Mary
land.
This would hold good as far as an
almshouse is concerned. There might be
some objection from the upper part of the
county, but believe that the larger tax
payers would be more than willing to
shoulder their share of this additional
tax

spection. Our retail shopping district
contains stores as large as those to be
found in the metropolis, and is COM
pactly situated so that shopping may be
made a delight. Winter hotel life here
is becoming more and more feature of
the capital, and several of our large
caravansaries compare favorably in mag
nftude and splendor with the big piles

Our theaters are commodious and Suf-
ficent in number to afford variety of
entertainment and are especially well pro-
tected by our fire regulations.
Even skating on the tidal basin is SUI

surface making the ice smooth. In fine,
