ORIGINAL IDEA
FROM LONDON

In England just now smart women
are using Japanese kimOnOs. beauuiully
embroidered. for evening ClOaks-
The shape Of the kimonO. with its
loose lines and quaint sleeves, makes 1t
particularly well fitted for this purpose,
and furthermore the beauty OF the
sillsen material, lined with silk. as IL
usually is. with its wealth Of design ac-
cOrd'ng 70 the price paid for IL, makes
IL in the end an economical purchase,
for one or two of these dainty garments
would lasz many years with ordinary
care.
English women are adding collars Of
dark sable to make the coats a bit
snugger about the throat. and the whole
effect is graceful and fascinating
The Japanese women OF good breeding
do not wear bright colOred kimOnos. but
affect rather those of darker tone, de-
pending On the fineness of the material
and the work for the beauty Of the gar
ment. Whatever color is used in the
costume od the lady of high degree" in
Japan is used in the obi or sash. How
ever. importers bring to this country
very gorgeous ldmonos in blues and red
OF varying tones, and there are some eX-
cellent ones TO be had.
Not long ago one of our shops was
showing a kimOnO in gOld-cOlOred bro
cade, embroidered in what looked like
thistles, or perhaps the Japanese equiv

tones, the effect OF which was rich and

however. although quaint. inasmuch as
the priests Of Buddha take a vow OF
poverty And their beautiful robes are
cut into little pieces and sewed together
again. The effect. however. is good. Il
one has the courage TO wear one. The
shape isSsinilar to the kimonO.

Keep Your Temper.

The unwTitten laws both Of society
and good manners are innumerable. but
there is one that we cannot pass over in
silence. and that is-never lose your
temper.
This appIes especially when playing
games,
Bridge ard crOQuet IN particular have
much TO answer for. Lifelong friend
ships have been shattered. ideals broken
and cast TO the ground by a wrong lead.
and the frOWn or sigh with which 81 IS
greeted, or a bad miss at crOQuec and
the iil-cOncealed annoyance OF one s
partner In consequence.
To lose ones temper IN private is bad
enough. but TO do 50 IN public IS unpar-
donabIe. Il IS crime which no hos
tess can forgive, for Il makes all the
other guests feel uncomfortable. and
disturbs that outward calm which is the
essence Of all good society.

For Business Women.

The woman who spends six days each
week over a desk. typewriter or at any
sedentary work. needs some exercise 70
keep her body supple. else constant sit
ting In a certain position viii. in time,
make her become loD-sided and un-
graceful
We all recognize the man who talks
frequently through the telephone. Not
only does he become slightly deaf in
his telephone ear but the left shoulder
incIines forward much more than the
right.
The man or woman who wrAes in the
wicked old way. keeping the paper side
ways on the desk, in time becomes
crooked on the right side. and he will
be several inches narrower on one
shoulder than the other. Consequently
It is absolutely necessary that some
form of physical exercise should be
taken BY the sedentary worker.
An exercise which is good for pro-
noting suppleness and grace Is this:
Take the attention position, namely:
Chest up. hips back, heels together. and
poise ali the weight of the body on the
right foot Lift up the toes, sWaying
the hiDs forward as far as ever you
can Have all the muscles relaxed, eX-
cent tine muscles Of the right leg; the
left knee IS Bonded. of course Change
to the left foot. rise uD on the toes
and then down again
Avoid AwSwaTdness.
Do not hold the arms awkwardly
while doing this exercise. Let them
reach out as they win, but train your
brain to watch every movement Of your
BODY. so that you will always appear
graceful Make the movements slowly,
so the muscles Will have no sudden
perks or pulls Always keep the chest
out farther than the feet. You viii no.
tice that this sends the shoulders back,
and causes the lungs to fiji completely.
II is necessary 10 breathe deeply and
regularly when taking any kind OF eX-
erise The effect is twO-fOld then.
For developing the figure, padding out
depleted tissue and making the chest
muscles firm and fine, try this: Stand
in a narrow doorway. keeping the knees
and hips back and the chest out fun.
Place the hands on either side Of the
Threshold palms fiat. just above the
door casing and walk on through 1t
may be some time before you can do
this. but you viii manage In time. It

that many famous singers continue all
the time.

ANOTHER lRRIGATiNG CANAL
SOON TO BE STARTED

Hon, A. l.. Pace of Bayfield, arrived
in the city last night and will remain
today to meet some parties who are
Interested in new irrigating canal
which is soon to be built in the Bay
field country
Mr.. Pace was seen at the Strater by
a reporter for The Herald this morn
Ing and the following particulars in
regard to the proposed canal were
learned:
The main canal will be ten miles
wide on the bottom and will carry $50
cubic feet OF water per second. It is
calculated to irrigate 10000 acres 1t
Will be taken out of Pine river four
miles north of Bayfield,, and the land
which 1t Will irrigate lies east and
southeast of Bayfield,. After digging
the ditch seven miles and a half there
viii be pipe line 1900 feet long to
carry the water over a low place.
The estimated cost of the main
ditch VIII be $4,000. Perpetual wa.
ter rights will be sold to land holders.
Water above the pipe line will be sold
at 200 per cubic foot, and below the
pipe line from $500 to $1,000. a cubic
loot OF water per second is supposed
10 be sufficient to water so acres OF
Land. SO the cost OF two cubic feet, or
sufficient TO water 100 acres, will be
from sl400 70 $1,000, depending on the
location.
The name of the company pushing
the enterprise is the Ute Light, Pow
er-Water company, a corporation or
ganized last October. The officers are
A. l.. Pace Of Bayfield,. president; X.
II, Sloan of Durango, vice-president I;
William McNichols of Aspen, treas
| urer; Andrew Mulqueen of Aspen. sec
retary.
II is possible that the water will be
used sometime In the future for light
and power purposes, which could be
done withou, diminishing the supply
for the ranchmen.
Much OF the land has already been
taken up by settlers and what remains
subject to entry will in all probability
be soon setued upon. When the wa
ter rights are all sold the purchasers
OF such rights will become the sole
owners OF the ditch. The land to be
thus brought under cultivation is at
present ali covered with sagebrush and
pinyon. and The adding of 10000 acres
OF farming land to this section Is a
vast Increase to the agricultural
wealth OF La Plata county.
MIR. Pace, in reply to the question II
there was sufficient water left in Pine
river. alter all the older bitches were
Allied. TO supply this new ditch, said
that in 1902 the state photographer
sent man down here once month
to measure the flow. and that the first
Of July. after the flood season was
over, measurement Of the water
was taken at Ignacio. below all the
heads OF the bitches and the river
was found to contain $500 cubic feet.

BULLDozER STRIKE ALL THE
TALK AROUND TOWN

The recent strike In the Bnlldozer
mention of which was first made in
The Herald yesterday, Is all the talk
around town today. This is merely
another instance of proof that all the
mines In the La Platas have not yet
been found
The Bulldozer is located la Lewis
gulch, a mile and a half above La
Plata City. and adjoins the Eureka,
from which a number OF small but
hieh.grade, shipments have been made
in the past The Bulldozer has been
worked al times by various parties in
a small way, and had been idle Tor
some time when Coe Franklin and as.
sociates took hold 4 few months ago.
Mr.. Franklin had two men out pros
pecting since year ago last Sep
tember, They prospected through
parts of New Mexico and Arizona and
finally came back to try their luck In
the La Plata mountains, After look.
ing around awhile their attention was
attracted to the dump of the Bulldozer
and they brought some samples down
to Mr. Franklin, who tested them and
found them worth looking after. He
examined the properly and then got a
bond and lease ana went to work,
staying at the mine to watch develop
ment himself.
SiX men have been continually en-
ployed. A crosscut OF 1856 feet was
run TO the vein. which WAS found to
carry ounce and G2 hundreths in
gold The vein was then drifted on
distance OF Is feet, with the result
of the strike chronicled yesterday.
The vein proper is feet wide, with
an lS-inch streak carrying II ounces
in gold and "a ounces in silver.
Alongside the vein is lime deposit
which also carries good values. The
width of this lime has not yet been
determined
The values were tested by sam
pie batch of 2S sacks of ore, so the
figures are reliable
a car OF ore is out and sacked and
pack train was sent up yesterday TO
bring the ore down.
