Hopes for Clear Day.
AS to the weather conditions tomorrow
and Monday there is an element of doubt
in the mind of Prof. GarriOtt, official
forecaster of the weather bureau. He
said today that rain area is approach
ing from the west and that it may reach
here tomorrow.
My calculation is. however" he added.
that the rain will hardly reach the Dis
trict before tomorrow night. / have fore
casted the rain to reach here at night 1t
looks TO me now as If Easter Sunday will
start in with some sunshine and the skies
will cloud up in the afternoon. The rain
storm in the west is of considerable area"

decorators of the female form divine have
been excessively busy the past few days
