GOVERNMENT MAY
 BOND ITS EMPLoYEs. Private Companies chargs unrsason- able Rates and Give Minimum Pro- tection.
Washington Feb. a7-Tbe sn,

< Washington. Feb. 27.--The special commission appointed in 1909 to inves- tigate conditions surrounding the bonding of government employees by surety companies made its report to the house and-senate today. It's find- ings are in favor of the establishment in the treasury department of tfidel- |ity division and the creation of a bonding insurance fund by the govern ment so that employees may have the option of paying their surety premi- ums to the government or bonding themselves through corporate sureties. Provision for such ae division may be made in the general deficiency Dill.
 Charging unrsassnabIe Rates.
 The Investigating committee de- clares that the surety companies are charging an unreasonable rate to gOy- ernment employees for bonds; that they do not give adequate protection to the government for the men on whom they issue bonds; that they have paid only about 37 per cent of the losses in- cured by the government on persons whom they had bonded and that they exercise no adequate supervision over bonded employees to prevent defalca- tions.
 Companies iJaxs Msde e;s Profit. :.
 The premiums collected from eov- ernment employees outside the postof1ce department have been nearly six times the rate of annual loss. In fifteen years the surety companies have re- ceived $1, ,204,3S4 inS premiums from these employees and have paid only $206, ,972 in losses. They are resisting additional claims of $109,341.

A New Waist Protector.

have made new kind of protector
to wear over delicate silk and
lingerie waists under a coat. The
prettiest is made Of white China silk,
that can be washed, although any
light color may be used.
A piece of silk about twenty-four
inches wide and two yards long is
selected, and beginning at the ends,
the edges are scanned together for a
depth of twelve inches, to form the
sleeves Then the ends are prettily
shirred and narrow white elastic run
in so that they will fit closely about
the wrist.
When the arms are slipped into
these odd sleeves the width of the
silk protects the back of the waist
and there is fullness of material
enough, so that it may be draped over
the bust and securely fastened by
fancy pins The whole waist is thus
perfectly protected by this simple lit
tie garment.-Harper's Bazaar.

LACE MAKING MADE EASY
Really No More of an Art Than the
Fine Embroidery Work Most
Women Do.

While most women seem to think
lace mending beyond them, it is really
no more of an art than the fine en-
broidery work they do, and requires
only patience and care. Cluny lace
is strong, but threads will break occa-
sionally, and when small places are
found needing repairs the work should
be done before the laundering, for
should they break in the water or
catch in the iron the rent would prob
ably be beyond repair. A simple
darning to and fro with a fine needle
and ordinary sewing cotton will be
good reinforcement for the thin
places
When there is much Of hole damp
on a foundation With the thumb and
the first finger the frayed edges are
drawn out and then the needle should
be drawn through loops of thread
in the good part and the hole gradual
ly filled in with a darning stitch that
will not show when the lace is washed
and pressed.
No. so. cotton thread will repair
Irish lace, but for fine laces 100 or $50
is not too fine. The lace is basted on
a foundation (several thicknesses of
paper will do) and the torn portion
caught firmly. Then the hanging
thread is caught and the crochet stitch
is worked to and fro until the fine
piece of Irish is once more whole.

When the interior of the nose is af
fected different application must be
used. For this purpose make lotion
from one-half ounce each Of glycerin
and rose water and seven ana one
half grains of tannic acid. This may
be applied to the sore several times
a day with a bit of absorbent cotton.
For cracks of the skin, such as
sometimes come on the finger ends

same, but the proportions differ. For
the latter cracks a lotion is made
from one and one-half ounces of
