PRETTY CORSET COVER
LATEST MODEL IS NOT AT ALL
HARD TO MAKE.
FIesh-coIored Crepe de Chine Recon-
mended for the Garment IIIustrat-
cd, Which ls One Of the Best
That Has Been Devised.

A girl cannot have too many dainty
corset covers In the summer time,
when the waists are so thin as to be
almost transparent. The latest model
is one requiring so little time or skill
In making that the girl who knows
how to sew will not hesitate to make
at least half dozen.
The camisole illustrated is flesh
colored crepe de chine. embroidered
in self color and trimmed with mar
row cluny lace, but any thin material
in a delicate shade may be used, as
null, chiffon cloth. nainsook, all-over
shadow lace, net in white or flesh color,
China and India silks.
A strip of material SO inches long
and 18 to 20 inches wide will make
one cover. The latter width is for a
stout figure. A very tall person might
use a yard and an eighth for the
length, but one yard will be enough
for the average woman. The material
is doubled, laid fat, and crescent
taken out at the fold, creating an oval
opening for the head to pass through.
"A S0COuu crescent is taken out at the
raw edges, and the ends turned up to
form hem. The long ends are finished
with a narrow hem and trimmed to
suit the sewers fancy; also the neck.
A frill of lace is pretty finish, with
baby ribbon run through eyelets an
inch or so below. If one can en-
broider, the front of the cover may
be lightly decorated.
Lastly, the hens are run through
with an elastic fitted ut the ends with
hooks and eyes or snappers.
The camisole is slipped over the
head and the elastic brought to the
front from the back. Then the front
elastics are taken around to the back
and closed there in like fashion 10 the

be made in an hour at a cost of rs

NegIlgee That viii Give Satisfaction
is an Easy Task for the Amateur
Simple Design.

First make a straight, narrow slip Of
very pale blue pussy willow tafreta,
with tiny, bebe waist gathered into

straps across the shoulders to hold
up the little gathered waist. Attach
tunic Of pale blue chiffon to this
slip, about at the hips, and drop over
1t second tunic from the high belt.
Slash each tunic up at the front in a
deep point and edge both tunics with
lace insertion. The upper tunic will
fall below the hip in front and almost
to the knees at back; the lower tunic
will hang at the back; but slope up to
reveal the feet in front. Tie a sash
of peach-pink satin ribbon against the
lace-edged upper tunic where the apex
of the slope comes in front. Now
make kimono-shaped coat of net-top
lace with the border at the bottom.
This is to fall six inches below the
satin belt over the upper tunic of blue
chiffon. Edge the V-neck in the lace
tunic or coat with lace insertion and
trim the very short sleeves in the
same way. Several little bows of pink
ribbon will make the lace tunic gay
and charmingly in keeping with the
skirt.

CHAPTER XII.

he could not cut much OF figure, but
seated in the office with Flodie, where
she could keep an eye on Alfred and
the caterer, it was not long before she
felt impelled to make him her ally.
With all his elephantine wit and his
manners of the old school, Mr.. Dore-
mus treated her in a jocose, fatherly,
indulgent way that inspired her trust.
And, that evening, Flodie had dire
need of a coadjutor She began to

The two ladies dared not trust each

STATE
MARYLAND COAL PRODUCTION.
Decrease Shown In Mining Inspectors
Report.

Report.
William Walters. mining inspector
for Allegany and Garrett counties, in
his annual report from May 1, 1914
to May /, 1915, just submitted to
Governor Goldsborough, recommends
more general use Of higher grade
Of oil for illumination. He says that
one Of the most persistent hindran-
ces to proper ventilation Of mines 10
the use Of inferior oil.
Mr.. Walters submits interesting sta
tistics in his report. He says:
In point of production the coal tom
mage for the year 1914 was not as
prosperous as the preceding year. The
reports from the various mining opera
tions of the state as compiled shows
the tonnage to be 3,688,611 gross tons,
showing a decrease Of 551,033 tons
from the year 1913. This decrease in
the number of tons mined has its
effect In time worked, which was great
ly reduced in several Of the mines in
the state, and consequently resulted in
a proportionate decrease in the aggre-
gate amount Of wages earned by the
miners for the year. Not only was
there a great decrease in many To-
calities in the amount Of coal mined,
but prices were not at all satisfactory
to those engaged in the coal business.
During the year ending December
81, 1914, Allegany county employed
1890 miners, 264 drivers, 376 inside
laborers and sos outside labOrers, max
ing total of 4,536, showing a decrease
of 430 employees over the year 1913.
The production Of coal for Allie
gany county was 3,082,709 tons, show
ing a decrease of 516,037 tons. There
were 90,831 tons mined by machines,
showing an increase Of 1875 tons:
also showing a production of go tons
of coal for each man employed in Allie
gany county and decrease Of SO tons
for each emplOye under the year 1913.
During the same period Garrett coun-
ty employed $40 miners, 80 drivers, 79
inside laborers, 157 outside laborers,
making total of GAG, an increase Of
247 over the year 1913.
The total production Of coal was
605,901 tons, all mined by pick, and
showing a decrease Of 34,996 tons:
also showing a production Of $40 tons
for each man employed, a decrease Of
276 tons for each person employed.
A total of 5,48O persons were en-
ployed in coal mining in the state, a
decrease of 79 under the year 1918.
Counting the mining superintendents,
mine foremen. assistant mine fore
men, engineering corps and office
clerks, it would be safe to add 300
persons to the total above, making
the total number of $3.50 employees
directly connected with the operation
of the mines.
During the fiscal year, beginning
May 1. 1914. and ending April 80.
1915, there were 204 accidents reported.
OF this number 16 were fatal, showing
decrease of one fatal and an increase
of AZ nonfatal accidents for the year.
