Weather Certain BY Tonightl

Just to show that he viii not ho
counted out without a struggle, Old
Man Winter turned on North Dakota
Wednesday night and knocked tho
mercury down for counts Of from six
to IA degrees below zero.
Then, In q last desperate display Of
his authority, he sent a high wind
swooping down upon the entire re-
gion. 1t was laden with snow which.
at Bismarck, totaled two inches.
Most places were swept bare BY
the wind but In others drifts from
two to three feet deep were reported.
They failed to block highway travel,
however, since they were not exten-
sive, and all main roads were re.
ported to be open.
Bus lines operating north and south
from Bismarck were maintaining
their schedules without difficulty and
trains were reported ION time" with
the exception Of No. 2, eastbouud on
the Northern Pacific, which reported
engine trouble near Billings. Mont.
and was delayed for that reason.
Miss Spring, thus rudely insulted
by Old Man Winter, was scheduled
to make a comeback Friday, accord
ing to the local weather bureau.
q. w. Roberts. meteorologist. said
the wind would die down Thursday
afternoon and that the sun wuld Be
shining before nightfall. Clear
weather and higher temperatures
were forecast for Friday.
The records showed that Thursday
was the second coolest day of the win
ter, the minimum thermometer read
Ing being 6 below zero. Only on Jan
uary Is were lower temperatures re-
ported over a longer period of hours.
The reading at noon Thursday was
four below but the mercury was ex-
pected to pass the zero mark by
nightfall.
Entire State Affected
Reports from other parts Of the
state showed that the storm was gen.
eral but it had abated in the northern
part of the state by Thursday morn

Seen on Fifth Ave.
BY LOUISE

1t seems almost impossible to find
a frock for evening wear without a
little velvet coat or cape acting as
its escort. And not for the world
would one wish 70 deviate from this
most charming and certainly youth
full fashion. Sometimes these little
velvet adjuncts are severely simple
and plain. and then there are quite
opuient affairs lavishly bordered
with precious furs. The favorite way
OF carrying out the popular black
and white scheme IL by wearing a
white velvet coat. cape or scarf with
a black frock. A red velvet jacket
with a white frock Is also very In
triguing. AL OF these combinations
are being shown in the smart ave-
nue. shops. together with several
most interesting innovations and
novelties. For instance. what could
be newer or smarter than a black
tulle frock with a short white velvet
mantle edged all around with black
fox.
Then. again. another smart place
Is showing a champagne col0red
velvet dress. the skirt OF which Is
edged with a band OF sable fur.
With this delectable dress is worn a
large and supple sable stole. lined
with the same velvet as the frock.
Another clever idea for wear with
tailored suits IL a scarf ~ black and
white velvet. The delightful white
tulle frock has had a great inning
this season and when IL is worn with
a short black velvet bolero. becomes
positively bewitching. One exquisite
white tuile frock goes out q nights
