A blind having a plurality of rudder cords with each being formed of a pair of vertical strings and a plurality of lateral strings joining the vertical strings together and each of the vertical strings extending downwardly from a head box in a vertical direction, and a plurality of slats extending horizontally on the lateral strings of the rudder cords, retained in parallel with one another and adapted to be turned by operating the rudder cords to open and close the blind, the blind comprising:

• openings formed in portions of each slat in a vicinity of the rudder cords;
• and
• drawings strings capable of being pulled, extending downwardly from the head box along the rudder cords, inserted into and extending through the openings in the slats and connected at lower end portions thereof to a portion of either one of the respective pairs of vertical strings of the rudder cords in positions of a selected height, wherein two systems of drawing strings extend downwardly along the rudder cords, the lower end portions of drawing strings of each system being joined to portions of different vertical strings of the rudder cords in positions of a same height.
