MUD OF LAKE HAS VALUE.
Expert Says Fuel May Be Had from
an Iowa Tract If Allowed
to Stand.

A mud lake covering 100 square miles
In Hamilton county, Ia. promises to
furnish to the state 22,OOO,OOO,OOO tons
Of fuel. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
Mass. who was employed to visit the
county and submit plans for draining
the land, has reported that he believes
the mud is of untold value. 1t contains,
he says, large quantities of carbonaceous
matter. If allowed to stand, he says, it
will form itself into a great coal bed.
He believes 1t is similar to the mud in
the meadows of Massachusetts, and says
1t may be used for fuel by extracting the
water and drying thoroughly. A COM
pany may be organized to prepare the
mud for the market.

Each and every one of the dainty
handmade frocks in miladys ward
robe is a gossamer monument to some
ones industry, for innumerable are the
stitches to be patiently pricked in the
completion of the so-called sweetly
simple lingerie gowns. French batiste
is given the palm for being the easiest
to fashion in various shirrings and
tucks, and soon has a resemblance to
the model chosen if ordinary patience
is invoked, but chiffon, as one tired
mortal was heard to eXclain, sis like

made in batiste, pure white, combined
with cerise, which is deity introduced
in medallions outlined by tucks of the
smallest possible size, which continue
in deep scallops in the founce, which
has at top and above the lowest me-
dallions bands of pintucking and moon
shaped motifs tucked on edges inset
below wee double tucks in groups of
three and in reversed scallops. The

tucks with crescent motifs forming a
bolero, which shows soft lace scarf at
front with loops at throat and knot at
half length, a. crush stock Of the same

three-quarter length with a graduated
ruffle and band of cerise taffeta. High
girdle with sash ends held by a fancy
gilt buckle. Sash ends this year either
reach to the very hem or are not more

ter length is passee. Exquisite rib
bons are seen in several widths, but
ten inches is the most fashionable.
Striped ribbons are most chic, the vari-
