COOLEST
Weather Of the Season as to
Feeling but Thermometers
Do Not Show Il.

Moisture in the atmosphere led
many persons to believe that Friday
morning was the coolest of the late
cold snap in Clarksburg but the tenn
perature was not SO low as 1t was
Wednesday morning. Zero weather
prevailed, however. and several ther-
mometers in different parts Of the
city registered zero and one or two
degrees below. The big thermome-
ter in front Of the Waldo hotel was
exactly at zero at 6 o'clock in the
morning.
The dampness in the air made the
cold much more pentrating than the
cold wave Of Wednesday. hence Fri
day mornings weather was felt as
the coldest weather Of the winter.

SMART OUTING COATS
HANDSOME GARMENTS DEVISED
FOR COMING SUMMER.
Sketch Shows Idea That May Be Ia.
ken as Observation-Disclosures
ity Always the Chief Object
in the Cut.

Judging from advance models, the
separate coats OF the sporting type
designed for the summer are to be
even smarter and more attractive
than those which were SO successfully
launched last year. They will be made
up in all the same bright colors and
practically the same materials as last
years models, but the new ones are
possessed of "a clever cut and grace
of line that make them quite the mic
est sort of serviceable summer
wrap.
Of course, they are designed pri-
marily to wear with white tailored
skirts and blouses or with white serge
frocks, for, as general rule, they are
made up in such bright colors that
they could hardly be worn with any
thing but white. Emerald green, mus
tard color, navy or Columbia blue, &C.
rise, magenta and scarlet are the
shades that are most used, while there
are any number Of pure white ones
just as there were last year. The
striped blazer cloths will not be used
at all.

representative of the new designs. 1t
