The January Thaw.

The weather of last Saturday added
variety to the meteorological record OF
the present season by short out vigor-
Gus January thaw. 1t commenced to
snow very early in the morning and con-
tinued until about nine O'Clock In the
forenoon, when there was an abrupt
change from snow to rain. Rain fell
INCREASINGLY until evening, at times al
most like summer shower. 1t soften
ed the snow and made travelling both for
teams and on foot very difficult.
While decidedly disagreeable the
storm was opportune In many ways.
The Kennebec gained ten inches In
height and a reserve In the small streams
and swamps that makes it practically
certain that the waterpower will be ex
cellent until tue spring rise. The i'm
portanCe Of this can scarcely be over es-
tlmated to a manufacturing community
like Skowhegan and many other towns
similarly situated. The wells and
springs also are now nicely supplied; bt-
fore the storm there had been some cor
Germ as to the supply OF water on the
farms. There was some interruption to
business In the numbering regions aud
heavy teaming, all through the county,
was out of the question for a day or
more but the freeze followed so quickly
that by Monday most kinds of business
WAS proceeding as usual.
The boys came in for their share of the
changed conditions rs the water froze
over the snow and made very fair skat-
ing on the river.

the trees reach their sixth year and in

tops of sleeves.
Another chic idea is shown in the FIRST
sketch. Here the skirt is of plaided cloth, the
predominating shade being a rich green. The
coat is of a darker hue velvet trimmed with
silk and an Empire collar The rings on the
skirt are Of velvet outlined by narrow silk
cord.
In combining cloth with velvet one may
have free lance in following out original
ideas. It also has an economical side;
gown thought to be hopeless may be brought
up to the moment by effective treatment
of velvet used as bands, motifs, revers and
collars.
Pressed velvets and pushes are even
more fetching when combined with cloths
than plain velvets.
Many dressy princess corselet gowns have
the upper portion and sleeves Of velvet, al
ways in darker shade Bias bands Of vel
vet from two to four and five inches wide,
called "volants" are especially effective in
B trimming a cloth or chiffon dress. One
sees velvets almost as often on chiffon as on
cloths.
Particularly charming are the long Louis
coats Of plain, pompadour and black and
white striped velvets, worn over satin,
lace and chiffon evening gowns. Louis coats
of silk have collars, revers, cuffs and peck.

LUXURIOUS WRAPS OF VELVET.
One pauses in amazement at the bewild-
ering variety of evening wraps fashioned
of delicately tinted yelvets, and the host of
stunning models intended for street and
everyday wear in short box lengths, chic
semi fitting hip length, those of the Empire
build, the Morocco wrap, and the attrac-
tive shawl effects.
A good-looking top coat of grey velours
modelled over the Empire lines has a shawl
collar of chinchilla. This wrap boasts of no
other decoration than the fur, detail which

required by the voluminous princess gowns.
Could velvet be more exquisitely supple
than chiffon velvet, a beautifully light
weave that carries the most enhancing
shadows and high lights?
Colors in velvets seem even richer than in
cloths and silks The queens shade Of
purple is delightful and when combined with
sable it is regal. Choose pansy or lilac
that holds pinkish rather than blue lights; ;
it is more becoming and more exclusive and
consequently harder to find In blues there
are porcelain, hydrangea and sapphire, col
ors which blend beautifully with squirrel
and chinchila
A shade of green between nile and En-
pire green is thought to be very smart, and
fortunately does not cast sickly bilious
glare over the complexion. Rich bottle
green's are handsomer and more exclusive
than many Of the other shades. Wine, clar-
ct reds and maroons are rampant. Gun
metal and dove gray are particularly lovely;
a touch of coral is not unusual on them.
Turquoise is employed for its brilliancy on
sombre colors. Bronze velvets are meeting
with particular favor in Paris; nothing is
smarter than blue black velvet.
CLOTH AND VELVET COSTUMES.
The combination Of cloths and velvets has
terminated in passion, ais one might sup
pose after following the drift Of fashion.
Plain, as well as figured cloths are
brought into Immediate contrast. For ex-
