Norfolk plumbers are letting out a sigh of relief which announces that the last water pipe freeze-ups have been thawed out , after a long siege. Hotels , schools , business blocks , tele graph office , saloons , barber shops , drug stores and residences numbering about sixty-five all told , experienced fieeze-ups. " Immediately.after the wind had gone down Monday night plumbers were called to the telephones , where they were told by anxious residents that their bathrooms were out of commis sion. Others told of the pipes being froz en In the cellars and many requests came for gasoline torches and "blow ers , " .which one plumber says helps the breaking of the pipes instead of aiding the thawing out. From the time the first freeze-up was announced , plumbers wore swamped with calls from residence districts and came to town , where their services were of great Importance. Time and again after the plumber had thawed out a frozen section of pipe and had left the business block he was recalled , the water having frozen Immediately after ho had left the building. A feature of the unusual amount of freezing was that there" were very few flooded cellars or bath rooms. Al though the pipes broke off and sup plies cracked and snapped away , there was no flood , the entire waterworks being so solidly frozen that the water had no outlet. "Come down to my house at once , " was the telephone call one plumber received. "I have called for every plumber In town and they are all busy. Our water Is frozen up and the pipes are breaking everywhere. " Another plumber declares that at one residence ho found that the pipes had frozen between two ceilings above a bath room. The ceilings were only a few feet apart and on crawling in side ho came out after much dllllculty. He made the repairs , but said : "It put these first water pipes Inhere hero myself dome time ago , but I can not recollect how I did it" Many of the water pipes were froz en from the motor to the supplies. Water Commissioner Brummund says seven meters were frozen. In some cases water boilers froze and burst. The recent freeze-up of waterworks is the worst in the history of Norfolk for so short a time.

And what a charming crea ture she Is or will be when Dame Fashion presents her to the world fashionable. Daughters are Intro duced to society year after year by ambitious mothers in much the same fashion an afternoon tea with sim ple refreshment and the sisters and jonng girl friends of the bud pouring tea and receiving with her. The ono note of novelty Is always struck in the debutante's costume , which this year Is white. More white than for many years Is used by debutantes nt their coming out receptions and their gowns make many plays on classical styles. The empire of more or less modifications , sometimes losing Its type altogether but for the high lifted waist ; the sim ple Greek robe of scant , flowing line ; phases of the dlrcctolre with the big \\uist and tight skirt ; and the klmona alcove in everything Greek , French , nud what not. One gown worn by a well known so ciety bud , Is draped in rather clever fashioned. The underskirt of the gown is of silver cloth , veiled with old blue chiffon and the waist , an ethereal affair , that has a most un substantial look in contrast with the tunic , is also of the chiffon with sil ver trimming. The drapery of the skirt consists of long , unshaped Icligths of soft blue satin draped to cross at front and back and extend into the train. All the edges of the satin are finished merely with the sel vage , one of the small details of the modes that arc at present running Into little short of a craze. Frocks with the directoire air arc liked by matrons as well as by de butantes for the reason that their short , round skirts and dainty waists make the wearers appear more youth ful. And yet , no matter how much money Is put on these dresses , or how much embroidery and jewel trimming , they never merit any other name than frock , because they are so simple. There Is a prim little air of the school room about them all. f However , with the gowns tnat em ploy the train separate from the skirt , ' that is a different sto'ry. Nothing is more interesting , more graceful or , more courtly than these dresses , and when the train is carried over the . arm the ensemble loses nothing in elegance. Everything is put in evening dress es this year pearls , colored stones , silk and chenille fringe , fur , flowers of gold or silver , lace , embroidery and fancy passamenterle effects. Some dresses have a little of every kind and when used with discretion the effect is not heavy. Tulle and mousseline are gaining in popularity , If that is possible. Yards and yards of It are put on everything. When one would think n dress all finished and ready to bo put on , there Is yet an overdress of tulle or mousseline to veil the en tire thing. The debutante wears white or something very pale and shimmer ing ; more matuic women don drap eries of black or dark colored tulle , to enhance the beauty and elegance of their toilettes. The air of being en veloped In a cloud seems to take with : the mass. The coutourlers are mad on the subject. Quite a deal of silver grey is worn by the leaders of fashion. An unusu ally charming frock Is of meteor in this shade of grey , veiled with mous- s line a tone darker. There are bias folds about the underskirt and hem i and other little stltchlngs on the low cut bodice , all in rose colored satin. Narrow black chantllly lace Is used to outline the throat. The decollete Is cut straight across the front and back , to look like a kimono waist without the long sleeves. This is an affect that is quite sought for in the new est frock designed by French dress makers. It is shown also In afternoon : frocks , the corsage built up on a white mousseline gulmpe that has the effect of a decolletage. At the back of the gown where the lose satin meets In a point , the place is marked with a big bow of the same color , with long streamers. The frock is one of the best that has yet appear ed. It may be worn either by a de butante or a woman in the 40s and yet lose none of Its seriousness that Is to say , If It be possible for any of the frocks made without a train to be serious. One of the newest features of bodice trimming is beading. Its vogue is widespread and there is no limit to the gowns and waists on which it maybe bo used. The inexpensive and costly show it. Even the new stoles and muff exploit beading in some for or other. An example might bo cited in a stole of black tulle designed for southern wear. The stole has a turn over collar of black cut in rovers at the front , and these are elaborately trimmed with white beads. The muff is of black satin and chiffon in a sort of envelope shape with a square turn over on the front of the muff. This square turnover flap is lined with black satin embroidered with white beads and the corners are turned back nt each side. Even black velvet Is embroidered with beads , but more sightly by far Is chiffon , nioussollne or silk. Therel s something naturally startling about black velvet and white beads in combination. The chiffon waists worked with Indian bead work nro deservedly popular and their prices are extremely moderate when the amount of work entailed is taken Into consideration. Ono of the hopeful signs of the times in hand mada Jewelry Is the fact that the enthusiasts who are doing - I ing the best work are not going to i - - _ _ .

The craze for "now nit" so-called , has happily passed , and that stage over , all that was good In It is being used In such work. Jewel ry Is ceitalnly more popular this sea son than ever it has been , and even women of wealth are taking to Imita tions , so cleverly are the designs filled Kith mock stones wrought. Among the Inexpensive ornaments Is the abalone pearl , which 1ms caught the rainbow tints of the sea and Its wonderful opalescent blues and preens. In Its loveliest shadings it suggests the black opal without the. liery gleam of the gem. As the abalone - lone pearl has been used in the past It has-been mediocre and cheap , but ns the true artist employs it , its tones lend themselves to the color scheme for which ho Is working as nothing else can. This gem is set Into all -oils of hair ornaments , pins , hatpins , brooches , etc. , and will continue nmong . HIP high favorites throughout Lho spring. For designs , the dragon fly is popu lar. ' It is done in natural colors and shudings in enamel , the eyes being of jewels and the body of silver gilt. Sharing favor with the dragon fly Is Ihc bar brooch , while hatpins of carved ivory stand in a class by thorn- selves as a new vogue. Pendants of fresh water pearls are lovely and these are combined souio Limes with imitation rubles , real gar nets , amethysts , opalines , etc. Color pomblnatlons are as much a feature 3f fashlonnble jewelry as they are of Diuart frocks and the women who can ifford it has her jewels and gowns to match or harmonize.
