BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.

An ideal day was that of Monday,
February 22nd, 1915, in Delaware. Bright
sunshine with crisp winds in the morn
ing gave way to balmy breezes and a sun
which tempted the most delicate to en-
Joy the out-of- doors air. In the gardens
the Jasmine flowers hung in beautiful
sprays on the bushes, while the spring
frogs in the pools and land-springs sang
their musical ron delay. The Jonquils
and crocus flowers are growing in Mil
ford gardens in protected locations, and
the wheat in the fields showed green in
response to the balmy winds and sun
shine. OF course this kind of weather
will not prevail for several weeks to
come. but it shows that even in the
latter days of winter, Delaware has
many days to remind US that spring time
is close at hand.
