Ft. Dodge, Nov. 9. - While drilling
a well in the vicinity Of the water
works yesterday j. e. Miller struck a
vein of gypsum rock sixteen feet in
thickness. Investigation shows 1t to
be of a different quality from that now
being used in the nine mills operated
east Of the city. The fact that the
rock now mined for the mills is from
two to four miles east from the strata
just discovered would lead to the be-
lief that the city of Ft. Dodge is un-
derlaid with gypsum rock.

HOOPSKlRTS COMING.

Walking skirts will remain short and
full. There are those who hint at a
lining of buckram in the hem, to be
succeeded by whalebone, with possibly
steel as a last resource. Between a
steel-stiffened skirt and a crinoline
there is little difference.
Full skirts will be worn also in those
gowns that are intended for smart oc-
casions, although the pleats and gath
ers will be more simply arranged than
hitherto, while fiounces and frills will
be fewer in number.
In many cases, where soft fabrics
like crepe de chine. velours and NOUS
seline are being used, the skirts will
be allowed to fall in long, straight folds
from waist to feet, the bodices being
also very simply but picturesquely ar
ranged with full folds coming from
the shoulders and crossing in front
under a deep waist belt of soft silk or
satin ribbon.

GRACEFUL WRAP.

A very graceful form of wrap which
will be seen a good deal during the
winter season is known in Paris as the
pelisse Russo. 1t consists of a straight
coat reaching about eight inches below
the waist, below which it is put into
deep folds. The seam between the skirt
and body portion is hidden by a broad
band of velvet, and the same decora-
tion outlines the wide pagoda sleeves.
The front is distinguished by long stole
shaped revers, which are richly orna-
mented with motifs of passementerie
and cords and tassels, which also ap-
pear on the velvet eDaulettes which
head the sleeves. AS a rule this par
ticular s.yle of coat is carried out in
the richest velvet or satin and lined
with white or delicately tinted broche.-

DAINTY DRESSING GOWN

A dainty dressing gown is necessity
for woman of taste; it may be quite
charming and elegant without losing its
useful character. There was a time
when there was little choice between
the frivolous peignoir and the uncom-
promisingly hideous or gaudy striped
garment, but in these days of beautiful
and inexpensive fabrics there is no ex-
cuse for any one to wear unbecoming
colors. Something serviceable" means
to many people chiefly an absence of
color. A deep, rich shade, however,
looks clean and fresh much longer than
a nondescriDt or dingy hue. The pre-
vailing color of the bedroom should be
taken into consideration when choosing
a dressing gown. 1t is no more trouble
to choose the right shade and secure a
harmony in your room. A simple gown
of fine serge or amazon cloth, with a
border of galloon, is pretty and is very
easily made.
