COMBINING LACE AND BEADING
Slight carelessness or Lack Of Prepar-
alton Sufficient to Mar the
Result.

When lace and beading are to be
sewed to thin materials, such as mus
lin dresses or underwear of any kind,
It must be carefully and thoroughly
done to produce good results. Lace
edging nearly always has a stout
thread In the selvedge which serves
admirably as a gathering thread. Pull
this thread and stroke the gathers to
make them even. Roll the edge of the
material and, holding the lace and
edge together with the thumb and fore
finger of the left hand. with the lace
nearest you, overcast the two together
with firm even stitches. When sewed
to a straight edge insertion can be
sewed In exactly the same manner, but
to let insertion in, to form a design,
nrst haste the material on the right
hide to form the desired design, and
hem 1t down on both edges. Cut the
material from underneath the inser-
uon, leaving a narrow strip on each
side OF the insertion. Crease this
strip back from the insertion toward
the material and turn as for a hem.
Overland this, taking stitches close to
the line Of the hemming.

KANSAS NOW FACES
A COAL SHORTAGE
SOFT COAL FIELDS SHUT DOWN
FIVE MONTHS BY THE
STRIKING MINERS.
is No Reserve Supply-At This Time
of Year Should Be Much
In Storage.

Topeka. Kan.-The coal miners
strike is settled and the miners have
returned to work, but those in posi-
ton to know, claim that there will be
coal Ramdnes all through this section
of the country this winter if there is
any severe weather. The smaller
towns and those located on branch
lines of railroads will be the greatest
sufferers.
At the present time, under ordinary
conditions, there rs big reserve sup
ply of coal in the hands of the railroads
and coal dealers all over the country
where coal is burned. This year the
miners have been on strike for five
months, and there is no coal reserve.
With all the mines working at their
capacity there can not be any large
reserve accumulated before cold wealth
tire sets in, and when cold weather
does begin the mines won't be able to
dig coal fast enough to keep up with
the consumption. The apparent con-
sequence will be a coal shortage be-
fore the winter is over, and coal users
all through this section will have diff
ficulty in getting coal.
During the strike practically every
coal mine in Kansas, Missouri, Okla
homa, Arkansas, Illinois and Iowa, the
states comprising the southwest dist
trict. have been closed down. 1t is
estimated that of the $4,000 coal min
ers normally at work in Kansas, there
have not been to exceed 5000 at work
this summer. In Illinois there are nor
mally 10000 coal miners, and during
the strike there were less than 5000
men at work in that state.
1t will be considerable time before
the mines are producing their full ca
pacity of coal, for the miners hav>
scattered during the long strike and
it will take time to reassemble the en-
tire working forces of the various
mines Many of the miners have NOV
ed to other places during the strike.
Many have taken up farming or have
gone into other business. A great
many of the miners in southeastern
Kansas, where there are whole towns
of foreign coal miners, returned to
their homes in the old country during
the strike to stay until it might be
settled.

VTzHREE hats of excellent design are
shown for those who are wearing
mourning. 1t will be noticed THAT
the shapes are small or moderate in
size, that the designs are simple but
the workmanship intricate and beau
tiful. These characteristics are what
the wearer should look for when pur-
chasing mourning millinery.
The first hat, small round turban
with rolling brim, is made Of tiny
folds Of Grape laid in parallel rows on
circles about them or four inches in
diameter. These are applied to the
crown and brim which have pre-
viously been covered with Grape laid
on plain. The wire frame is covered
and lined with silk and the hat is
finished with, a wired bow of taffeta
A rolled border of Grape sometimes
binds the edges of such bows and
makes a very handsome finish for the
ornament

MILITIA COMPANIES IN DEMAND.
Kansas Sentiment Changed as to Ma
tonaI Guard.

Topeka, Kan.-Time was when there
was little or no contest between towns
for company of the Kansas National
guard but that day has gone by. Not
only does a contest result now when
there is vacancy, but real old
fashioned red-hot campaign is indulg'
ed in.
Some time ago the Hays City com,
pany of the Kansas National guard
disbanded. The war board" of the
state announced that it would receive
applications from cities in Kansas. to
fill up the blank in the Second regi-
ment. The result was that when the
board met at Topeka five towns had
organized companies bidding for the
vacancy, and three more towns had
bids" in for the company,
Holton, Topeka, Independence,
Pleasanton and Stafford all had organ
iezed companies. Olathe, Hill City and
Phillpsburg had letters on the table"
saying that they would like to have
the company.
Holton, which finally won out in the
contest, had a company of 1G4 men or
ganized. In the ranks of the privates
are such men as State Senator Myers
and William T. Beck, editor Of the
tain, with First Lieutenant Saunders
and Second Lieutenant Thompson as
the other officers. The fight finally
narrowed down between Independence
and Holton. Independence had seven
ty-siX on its list, with seventy-two on
the waiting list. Forty men of the In
dependence organization had seen en-
lstment service in either the regular
army or the militia. Seven had been
officers and one had been a lieutenant
in the regular army.
The board is very anxious that COM
panies should have armories. indie
pendence had rented an armory. Hol-
ton had planned to buy one in case it
got its company.
you will own your own armory?'
asked the board.
The Holton people retired for few
moments and came back with the an
nouncement that they had concluded
right there and then the purchase of
new big skating rink.
That settled the fight and Holton
won. But Independence is going to
get the next vacancy. The board mem,
hers declare that it was the hardest
task in the world to choose between
the two towns.
Pleasanton presented a membership
of al men; Topeka also had full or
ganization, many of the members OF
the Topeka crowd being well known
young society men. STAFFORD also had
a good organization ready.
Each of the towns had resolutions of
Endorsement and promises of support
and maintaining the organization at
high grade from their commercial
clubs.

FASHION EASY TO FOLLOW
Additions In Dress Accessories That

Of All.

Partisan costumers for making the

tone, is of like material, and is mere

frills may be developed of wide lace.
plain or fancy net, chiffon, tulle and
even sheer lawn. And the best fea.

The art of fine needlework is more
in favor now than it has been for
many years past, and where children's
frocks are concerned remnants of
lawn, muslin, lace and embroidery
that have been secured at reduced
prices during the summer sales can
be made up into fascinating little gar
ments at a nominal cost.
