MANY LONG WINTER JACKETS Thero Is much to bo said for coats with cape backs other than that they are exceedingly fashionable, observes a prominent fashion correspondent. They have tho grace of a cape without any of Its Impractical features. There Is the comfort of a good, substantial long coat- combined with the nrtlstlc outline of the Mowing cloak. That tho cape Is never really ab sent from fashions proves that It must have some great staying power. There Is some reason for women's always wanting It for it is always finding n ready acceptance.

We mny prato nt length upon the practical In dress, but the practical minus beauty and artistic appeal never finds real favor. The enpe has considerable roman tic and historical background. This probably bears a subconscious Influ ence In Its. fnvor. Coming down to the purely practical, a coat I- made much warmer by a cape falling over the back, but I cannot say that this has anything to do with Its hold on fashions. ft can be claimed, however, that Its youthfulness does 'nnich for It. Cer tainly a coat of this type gives Its wearer a much younger and less staid appearance than the old-fashioned practical topcoat, which put the fin ishing touches In more ways thnn ono on a perfectly good-looking costume, for, no matter how smart one's dress and hat mfght be, the effect wns lost through tho addition of a prosy look ing font. Where Parislenne and American Agree It may safely be said that the capo coat Is one of this winter's greatest successes. It la much favored by both the Pnrlsionno and the Ameri can. A most Interesting cape from Premnt Is gray velours de lalne, and the lining, which Is satin, exactly mntches the cloth In color. This coat has practically two capes, as tho largo collar forms a short shoulder capo at the back. The large capo extends In n point at the back. It fails to with in six or eight Inches from the bot tom of tho coat. Another model shows the short capo which Jenny hangs from the top of high muflllng collars of fur attached to suit jackets. In this Instance tho capo Is of blue serge, while the collar Is of seal. This cape covers the bnck only. It does not extend over tho shoulders, ns many do. A coat from Lanvln features tho long cape back which Is almost tho entire length of the coat. A soft shade of gray duvetyn wns chosen for this model. Thero are trimming bnnds of green nppllquo embroidery down both sides of tho front, also deep bands of tho embroidery on the full sleeve. Cape Back Effects Feature Suit. The plnlted cape back, almost In the form of a panel, Is novel but not likely to find tho favor that tho plain cape backs have. Some of the best French makers feature tho capo back of fur, not only on long coats but on short box coats, making theso enpo backs the same length as tno coat it self. Tho cape back effect on suits Is also a noted feature. Ono very at tractive model of blue serge has a high moleskin collur, from tho back of which hnngs n cape reaching to Just below tho waistline, while tho actual Jacket, of box cut, falls straight to the hlpllne and Is embroidered around the hem with gold and royal blue threads. The coat fastens with two buttons Just below the high fur collar, and again with two buttons at tho bottom. Another Interesting model Is of to bacco brown duvetyn. with the capo back cut In one with the sleeves. This cape Is edged with a two-Inch band of applique embroidery, the em broidery again appearing down tho sides of the cont Itself. Heritage of the Middle Ages. A second typo of topcoat Is that In which the moyen-nge effect Is carried out. These are of long, straight cut, sometimes with a bodice part hanging straight to just above the knees. This very long-walsted effect, with the upper part of the garment hang ing straight, appears to be one of the essential features of this winter'3 clothes. It has not been cnrrled out, however, In such a mnrked way In coats, as the means of embodying It In a coat presented considerable difil culty. It was thought at first that what was suitable for a dress was not always ndaptable In n coat. Now that coats have become so close akin to frocks, the characteristics of ono belong quite ns much to the other. Ono French coat shows a full flounce gnthered to the upper portion at this point, thus forming the lower part of tho coat. The flounce Is cut at Inter vals in fishbone shape to show velvet underneath, the coat Itself being of cloth. The long coats shown by Jenny are of straight cut and In most instances have the bolt, or semblance of a belt, placed at n low waistline. This model Is developed In navy blue elours do lalne trimmed with bnnds of royal velvet down tho right sldo to tho edge of tho coat, forming tho belt, deep cuffs nnd high muflllng col lar. The ornament and tassel, used on one side of tho coat only, are of royal blue silk.

A colliery used to be called a coal ery. Coal-meter Is an old name given to one who superintended the meas uring of coals. Coalstone Is n species of hard, opaque, Inflammable coal, which does not soil or dirty the fin gers when touched. It is jet-black, and can be cut. Brown coal has been found at Bovey, Devonshire and on the Continent. Coal-hod Is nn old-fashioned name for scuttle. Gas light can bo traced back over 200 years. A Mr. T. Shirley, In 1GG9, attributed a burn ing well nt Wlgan to the presence of coal underneath It. Just about this time a Mr. Clayton procured gas by distilling coal. Practical lighting, however, came very slowly. In 1702 a Mr. Murdoch Illuminated his house with gnslight, and a very poor show It Is said to have been. lie lived at lte druth, Cornwall. In 1S02, Birmingham, In celebrating the peace of Amiens, brightened up a large factory with gaslight. Thousands journeyed to see the wonderful sight which led to gas-works being established at that place, and in Manchester and Uallfax. Montreal Herald. Paillettes Grow in Favor N. U., Oklahoma City, No, The other coat, Inspired by the dress of the middle ages, Is developed In black duvetyn, which makes a very smnrt topcont. It Is embroidered In jade green nnd Jet pnillettes.

" DANGER IN HUNTING "PORKf Animal Said to Be a Past Master lt the Art of Using Quills to Advantage. "On tho farm which I wns manag ing In British East Africa there were great numbers of porcupines," says a recently returned traveler. "They used to have their homes In the rocks un der the escarpment, and at night would come down to the cultivated plots and do a great deal of damage. They were particularly fond of potatoes, and would root out whole rows of them, moving from plant to plant nnd un dermining each separate one. As soon ns we noticed they had begun their depredations on any particular plot my brother nnd I would organize a porcupine hunt. "One had to be pretty quick In one'3 movements, for porcupines have a nasty way of charging bnckward and transfixing with their quills any llesh, human or canine, that happens to bo in the way. I have known very bad wounds inflicted like this, the quills going through n man's leg as easily aa a sharp bodkin." Continuation. "I want to tell you something. The wheel spoke " "Yes?"
