one has called them-one WAKES en-

models; so many exquisite fairy webbed
materials. so many rose red and dainty
white bOnnets OF oualntest shape and
design-one pauses before plunging
into the midst OF description.
But can such gossamer delicately'
wrought things be described? Are not
mere words too rough; too crude? One
comes away from the shops devoted to
the, baby's needs with a bewildered

the latest French models; but it is a
wonder how even a French woman, gift

A little care will have to be taken
in getting the different articles for

a three-quarter length box coat should

result If this point is not kept in

There are many artistic shapes in
hats and boDnets for the little folks
this year. The mushroom hat In all
its varieties is seen everywhere. Some
of the daintiest of these, made of fancy
straw, are trimmed simply with a
small bunch of roses or some other
flower fastened at the Sides, and are
tied with soft satin ribbon. Bowl

Washington. Mar. 23.-rhe atten-
zion of American manufacturers will
not for the next few months be en-
tirely focused upon the proposed tar
IN revision in this country.
France proposes to revise its tariff
and in the changes to be made the
United States is vitally interested.
II the proposed French tariff bill
should be enacted into law in it's
present shape, American trade would
be iuJuriously affected
Contrary TO the usual custom. the
measure had its origin in the tarif
committee of the French chamber or
deputies. and the attitude of the gov
ernment toward it, therefore, has not
formally been defined in parliament.
The probabilities are, however. that
the bill will undergo a number of
changes before il finally is enacted
fnko law. which, 1t is expected, will
be the first part of next year.
Some interesting facts in regard to
ghn new measure are CLEANED from a
compilation entitled Proposed New
Customs Tariff OF France" prepared
by N. T. Stone. tariff expert OF the de-
partment OF commerce and labor, the
sbjes Of which is to indicate the pro-
posed changes of tarin rates on goods
which the United States either eN-
ports to France or could export under
favorable conditions.
Taking up the articles covered by
the existing Franco-American agree
raeut Il is found that the following
are affected by the proposed changes;
Canned Meats.-lt is proposed TO
adv,1nre the general rate of 90 francs
per 1gQ ltilos to 80 francs, an in
crease OF 80 per cent while leaving
abe minimum rate of Is francs un-
changed. While the agreement re
mains in force. the proposed change

canned meats.

80 per cent on the average, being
considerably higher than the differ
ence in the present tariff, the pur-
pose being to make 1t worth while
for foreign countries to negotiate re-
ciprocity treaties for the application
Of the minimum rates.
AS all the important commercial
countries except the United States en-
JOY the benefit of the entire minimum
tariff in France, the changes already
mentioned would affect injuriously
imports from the United States only,
and would still further aggraVate the
disadvantages under which American
products must compete with products
from other countries in the French
market. Among the more important
of these changes the following may
be mentioned, the rate being given in
francs per 100 kilos: Meat extracts.
general rate increased from 40 to As
francs; cotton seed now admitted
free to be subject to n duty of 1 q
francs; peanuts, now admitted free,
to be subject to 4 duty of 2 4 francs,
and preserved vegetables. duty in
creased from 20 to "a francs.
Even more disadvantaEeous to
American trade are the proposed
changes, which, while utreasing
the general rates to which american
goods are subject. contemplate a re-
duction of the minimum rates which
are applicable to imports rom fa-
vored countries. AS instances Of
such changes the following may be
mentioned; Heavy agricultural ma
chinery weighing over 400 llilos, for
which 1t is proposed to increase the
general rate from l 3 to 16 francs per
100 xilos, while reducing the mini
mum from 8 to s; detached parts OF
copper and brass, Weighing l to 10
kiios apiece, for which it is proposed
to raise the present general rate of
so francs TO SO u. while reducing
the minimum rate of 40 to 80.
1t is proposed, however. in a large
number of cases to reduce the general
rates. while leaving the minimum un-
changed The effect of this would be
to lessen to some extent the disad-
vantages under which American man
nfacturers have to compete at pres
ent with other foreign goods in
France. Among the more important
changes of this kind may be men
toned electric apparatus OF various
| kinds, refrigerators, etc, the reduc-
tions ranging from 90 to 40 per cent,
according to weight. Among the
