Even if yon do decide in favor of a suit for Spring, | that will in no way put off the need | of a coat. r the suit nowadays is | not a general utility costume, but | something for special occasions. | The cape coat comes first. You will | he sure to encounter it when you go | n search of your Spring wrap. Your | tailor or dressmaker will suggest it If | you ask for advice, and vou will have | it offered to you on all sides it vou | want buy something readymade. | Tt gives certain promise of being what the merchants like to call “a y)nr\nlari number.” The most ardent hoosters | of this style would hardly claim that | it suited all ages and all figures. Lack- ing vouth, vou must at least possess slenderness to wear it with distinction. You may have seen the cape coat that is fur trimmed—krimmer, cara cul or light mole, squirrel or naps the smartest of all the cape is the one most strictly tailored, ng fur entirely ar as these wraps | are concerned, gray seems at last to | ve come into its long-promised place | of pre-eminence. For several seasons. vou know, we have heen predicting that for a change gray would take the | place of beige. With these cape coats | gray comes in with a fourish.

Then there are cape coats without sleeves that have much to recommend them for warmer weather. Though the cape coat without the cape would he like an omelet with the eggs left out still many women like to have their cape coats made with a detachable eape section It is hard to say just how extensive will hecome the vogue for the cape that is, the cape that is not part of a coat. The French dressmakers are making much of it. It has much to recommend it. But with the present very short skirt one must go slowly. | For the time, at least, it is better to | avoid the cape as a general utility wrap. If you can afford a_different wrap for each of several Spring cks. then by all means let ‘one of them be a cape.

All our words of necessity a de. rived from the German; our words of luxury and those used at tahle, from the French. The sky, the earth, the elements, the names of animals, household goods and articles of food are German: the fashions of dress and evervthing belonging to the Kitchen. luxury and ornament, are taken from the French: and to such a degrea of exactness that the names of animals which serve for the ordi nary food of men, such as ox, calf, sheep, when alive, are called the same in English as in German: buc when they are served up for the table they change their names and are cajled beef, veal and mutton, after the French. Huge Meteorite. SHIP salled into port at Aber- deen, Scotland, recently bearing a strange load—a 7-ton rock said to be worth half a million dollars, says Popular Science Monthly. It was a gi- gantic meteorite on its way to a mu- seum in Copenhagen, Denmark. Dr. Knud Rasmussen, an expiorer of the Far North, discovered the huge meteorite in 1918 in an out-of-the-way place in Greenland, 16 miles inland. Setting it out and sending it to Den. mark was too difficult a task at that time. It took the united efforts of 170 dogs to drag it, as its great weight constantly broke through the ice. This meteorite i= said to be the third largest in the world. The two lar ones are In Amerlea and England,
