 Petticoats are as much in vogue this year as they were 10 years ago. They are the favorite debutante present and come in gold tissue boxes decorated with stuffed 1iowers, three, or four in a set. These petticoats are of the most fragile materials, oriental crepe patterned with bright flowers of futurist designs for morning wear, black or dark liberty satin trimmed with lace or ribbon beading in scroll designs for afternoon and georgette or crepe de chene in the palest shades and white with cobweb lace flounces looped up with French flower knots or baby ribbon rosettes for evening.
 The shops are bursting with spring things and sport clothes for southern year. For people who have to remain in town during the weeks that still must e'apse before there is any sunshine to speak of there is apparently no provision. But the sales furnish some compensation for there are remarkable bargains to be got in certain lines. Not, however, for people of moderate means.

VEGETABLES NIPPED
BY UNEXPECTED
COLD; % TONIGHT
THE FORECAST

An unlooked-for and unheralded
cold wave swept down on this section
last night resulting in a temperature
ofhcially recorded as 81. though in
some places 1t may have gone some
what lower. AT any rate. the unusual
phenomenon Of ice was observed in
exposed places and tender vegeta-
ton was nipped. Some growers re-
port that their beans and other truck
show no sign Of injury. while others
report q partial or entire loss. OF
course, in this immediate locality the
loss OF crops of this character is NOT
heavy.
There has been very little warming
up today, and an even lower temper
allure than last night is looked for
tonight. Owners of young groves
have been busy today banking the
trees, fruit is being picked and truck
crops covered. The Weather Bureau
predicts temperature of rs degrees,
and it is believed it will be fully that
low. This will not injure materially
the groves, though young trees not
properly banked may be killed and
lender growth on the trees will be
nipped. It is not thought the fruit
will be injured, as it requires about
rs degrees to freeze an orange and
a still lower temperature to affect &
grapefruit. At any rate only a small
percentage Of fruit is remaining on
the trees. most Of it having already
been shipped.
We do not recall that in twenty
years at least. there has been as low
q temperature as the present this late
in the season.
