Q. If the tariff should be revised

A. No one is advocating free trade
and no revision that is advocated
could by any possibility flood this
country with foreign goods to the det-
riment of this country; and the peo-
pie who are now selling abroad in
competition with the world could put
restraint upon the flood by selling at

Favoritism.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Rrysa's
speech at Carnegie hall, New York,
on the text, Thou Shalt Not Steal, y
a number of questions were asked
from the audience and answered by
Mr.. Bryan. These questions and an
swers follow:
@. Is it wise for a public man like
President Roosevelt or yourself to use
such a term as predatory wealth,
thereby stigmatizing class?
A l answer in the affirmative.
When you say that predatory wealth
is bad you mean predatory wealth,
and l have no objection whatever to
the president or any other man, stig-
matizing wealth that is predatory.
(Applause.)
Q. Is it right to tax the people and
lend the money thus obtained to in
dividuals or to private corporations in
any form of subsidy?
A. This asks a question that can
not be answered in a word. What we
call subsidy believe wrong; and yet
would not say that under no circum'
stances should a government lend
money, raised by taxation. l believe
it all depends upon whether the money

Tall, slender crystal vases are the
best shape for holding roses. Flowers
are easily arranged in these delicate
holders, and at the same time they
make the most attractive display with
out crushing the blooms. Brass bowls
and other metal receptacles are ia
vored for ornamenting certain places
in room, but for general use moth
ing equals the crystal vase. These
rose vases are offered in a variety of
heights and styles. The most salts
factory are the clear white or the
cpalescent crystal. The latter seem
to take on a delicate tint reflected
from the roses, while the clear white
remain unchanged by the pink, yellow
or red roses clustering above the top
of the vase.
Cut glass rose vases are. too ex,
pensive for any but the wealthy to
possess. There are imitation cut crys-
tails, however, which make very fair
appearance and are cheap enough to
be replaced when they are broken. In
selecting rose vase of extra height
one should bear in mind the import
ance of the base. The taller the vase
the larger the required base to give it
equilibrium. These flower holders
come in sizes ranging from ten inches
to six feet. The average American
Beauty size is three feet high.
Iridescent glass is being much used
for flowers of all kinds, Bowls, shall
low dishes and tall vases are shown
in this attractive crystal. When not
in use it is ornamental, while the pure
white vases have an unfinished look
when not holding flowers. One should
have on hand an assortment OF these
vases, one size for carnations, which
it is almost impossible to arrange in
anything but a tall, slender, tapering
vase, larger size for ordinary roses

NEED A SUNBATH
Important Thing to Remember in the Care of Your
Indoor Plants

Often in the arrangement of the
room it is necessary to place a plant
in semi-dark corner or, at any rate,
away from the direct rays of the sun.
In this case the plant should be
changed from time to time with one
that is in the window, or if there is
only the one plant in the room it
should be given sun bath every day.
Otherwise it's life will be short one.
A plant should also be turned about
every few days, 80 that all sides may
grow equally, or else one side only
will be developed. and the other leaves
which are turned away from the sun
will not extend nor will there be any
fresh leaves on that part of the plant
to take their place, all the new shoots
turning and stretching out happily
toward the greater light.
More and more are flowers and
growing plants recognized as neces-
sary part of decoration. How much
smarter the entrance that is bordered
with two stiff little box or spruce trees

than the doorway with only its stone
or marble steps and iron-grated doors!
The iron-grated glass doors with their
priceless lace curtain within and the
marble vestibule may be many times
more costly than the simpler entrance
ornamented only with its little potted
trees, but this latter will look far
more attractive.
Window boxes are gaining an ever
firmer place in this country, and the
box and frs with hardy ivy covering
the easement look cheerful, even when
weighted down with snow. The glass
covered window boxes with their gay
cOlored flowers inside have long been
popular in chilly England, but are not
needed here, for as soon as the box

tended season of frost and snow 1t is

practice in the cemetery.

models. The reason that chiffon and
chiffon cloth are preferred in many
cases to silk blouses is because it is
much simpler to avoid break in tone
by using these thinner and softer ma
terials. Even perfectly matched cloth
and silk do not present the same I'M
broken tone on account of the diff
ference in the texture and body of the
two fabrics. But with chiffon and
chiffon cloth there is less difference.
In fact certain lights will make chiffon
and cloth look like the same fabric.
Cloth is too heavy for blouse, and
besides it does not yield to graceful
treatment as does chiffon cloth. Soft,
graceful models are more becoming to
the average woman than severer ones,

easily fashioned by the modest dress
maker than by the fashionable and ex.
