Window draperies are now ar
ranged so that the window is framed
by the hangings. When there are two
windows close together the drapery
often frames the two so that one wide
opening is suggested. The height of
windows Is also reduced by modern
hangings, rather than exaggerated as
was the case with the long, sweeping
lace curtains of the Victorian period.
This modern framed effect is accom-
|plshed by narrow, dark hangings at
either side of the window and
straight or gathered valance across
from separate rod and the lace or
net curtains falling beneath, close to
the pane. The heavier hangings
should harmonic with the wallpaper
in tone and the material may be as
rich and sumptuous or as simple and
practical as ones purse can afford;
the main idea being to have the hang
Iings accord in style and color with
the other furnishings of the room.

ing" sort are made of scrim on which

cream 1aces and nets are now more
fashionable than pure white materials
except in very formal drawing rooms
where Louis XIV Regency effects are

such rooms lace curtains are impera-
tive but in ordinary living rooms,
dining rooms and libraries where
handsome lace curtains are not re-

madrases in creamy tom are the best
choice. Far better a simple cross

The craft of house decoration and
tufmshsrg has taken tremendous
strides during the last decade. A
lack of money is now no e1rcuse for
tnartistie surroundings, for even the
most inexpensive fabrics for decora-
tive use como in charming and refined
patterns and eolorings, and every
where there is a movement towards
less ornate effects, and simpler, more
artistic lines and color harmoniea.
The horrors of the early Victorian
era have passed out OF the memory
OF US. The last dreadful carved wal
nut bureau has been banished to the
recesses of the attic, the last GRO
cheted tidy, the last plush lambre-
quin, the last garnet red sofa and wax
floral piece covered with glass-they
have all mercifuIly found their way
TO the blessed limbo of oblivion. We
have now soft toned rugs in wonder
fully pleasing limitations of genuine
antiques, roomy comfortable furni-
ture with simple, fine lines and drap-
cries which even in the least costly of
cretonnes, madrases and muslins are
things of real charm and beauty.
One may now, if velvet brocades,
velours and priceless tapestries for
walls and doorway cannot be af-
forded, find remarkably good cotton
mercerized armures, brocades and reps
which come in artistic greens and
browns and a rich, deep red. Raw
silk window draperies may be imi-
tated satisfactorily with ordinary pom
gee at less than half dollar a yard,
and when this material is not wide
enough to cover the space desired
the breadths may be put together with
entire deux of imitation cluny. Many
clever woman hunts through the
bargain silks on the dress goods coun-
ter for her window draperies, just as
other clever women go to the curtain
department for large patterned nets

another new piece of furniture
which makes an attractive addition to

The wing chair has almost super
seeded the erstwhile adored Morris

chair has extensions which come out
at either side of the back for four or
five inches, making cosy corners into
which one may snuggle in all sorts of
comfortable positions. These wing

business freedom that it justifies
the strong words of men like
Untermyer. What the money
monopoly now controls is the
funds of the chief New York banks
together with numerous great
banks in other leading cities and
in addition the constant food of
monty that FLOWS into the great
insurance companies in New York.
Having seized control of the
directorates of the insurance
companies, the investment of these
funds becomes a powerful lever
to fortify the monopoly.
Carrying forward the design of
credit monopoly is Senator
Aldrich's bank reform bill. 1t has
the approval of the money trust,
which is seeking to secure it's
endorsement by the independent
bankers of the land. Such law"
thinks Mr.. Untermyer, would
result in .wiping out small indie
pendent banks ard would enable
the great financial leaders to ac-
complish directly what they are
now seeking to do by indirection
by buying up banks and trust
companies.
The establishment of branch
banks by the larger banks is un-
lawful in this country. Once that
restriction is taken away, the
great banks with their branch
banks in the smaller cities will
have the banking power of the
country in their hands.
The difficulty with remedies"
is chat first public opinion must be
convinced If the existence of the
evil to be corrected. Then the
fight starts. But public remedies
keep a long way in the rear. When
they catch up with the evil COM

been discovered and is in full

GROWTH OF THE
MONEY TRUST

For some time the New York
World has been charging that
Governor Woodrow Wilson
"Bryanized" himself by his
several interviews and speeches
declaring that the most serious
issue before the country is the
growing money or credit trust,
the aim of which is to control
within a small circle all the
greater enterprises Of the United
States.
But now the World prints two
column interview, emphasizing
much of it with bold-face type,
with a distinguished corporation
lawyer, Samuel Untermeyer. not
only endorsing Governor Wilson's
statement. but declaring that the
growing money trust, with its
power of giving or withholding
credit has already got long start.
Every man" says Mr.. Inter
meyer. with an intimate ac-
quaintance with the conditions,
knows that the dangers are little
understood as yet and are vastly
under estimated"
There are many conservative
men who, however, have not felt
the power Of this CROWN credit
monopoly because the business they
conduct is not Of sufficient magni-
tude to interest monopoly, who
scott Mt the talk Of Woodrow
Wilson. Of La Toilette and of such
men as Samuel Untermyer. The
fact is as stated, nevertheless; that
all enterprises of the first magni.
tude through out the country are
pretty well in hand now by the
credit trust and il is only a
question Of, time when the power
will be extended to second rate
enterprises In size.
The issue however, Is one Of
priciple. 1t directly touches the
American idea. which is freedom
Of opportunity. Only hose men
associated with us, or whom we
are willing to trust, may have
credit to put forward rev enter
prises. No matter how good the
project may be, the Int rests must

included high tribute to Stone

Said the old Union soldier:

countries. a hero Of two wars,
general in two armies. a senator
from two states and the man who
came nearer whipping Stonewall
