The Clever Needle Woman.

The woman who by her own clever
fingers and tasteful ideas succeeds in
experimenting her wardrobe enjoys
pleasure and satisfaction unknown
to those who rely only upon their
dressmaker. and to whom the question
Of smart frock or two more or less
is a matter of Indifference
Women of limited means do a sur
prising amount of their own work IN
this way. and the effective costumes
they produce for themselves is evi.
dence of the intelligence with which
they catch and develop a pretty idea.
And aside from all this It must be a
world of satisfaction to have ones
friends ask at which fashionable mo-

other storms will occur later in the

that melts but slowly makes a grad
nal contribution OF water to the noun
tain streams and thus prolongs the ir-
rigaiioD season. This Is what the
farmers especially desire, for the
rains that come In April and May or
dinarily supply sufficient moisture to
start crops and give item good
growth until warm weather sets in.
But In normal seasons irrigation must
be resorted to in June and July. and
hence whatever maintains good
flow In the streams benefits the farm
ers.
However. all who are able to do

water for the purpose of filling res
ervoirs. since no one can tell whether
the supply for this use will be as
large rs the present outlook indicates.
The supply OF water may be smaller
In the spring than farmers now look

their reservoirs, will make a certain
