"Oh, I wouldn't give colleges and

"Don't forget our impecunious high

"No," continued the Stenographer,
"without noticing him, "if 1 were a
philanthropist, I would do good along
original lines, and reform abuses that
need reforming, and bring joy to un
expected waste places."
"Might I inquire what you'd do.

Bookkeeper.
"Well, to begin with." replied the

"It's perfectly safe now for any of
these ruffians to be as rude as he
likes to any woman because she can't
help herself, hut if he never knew
when a strong armed man was follow

how nice, and kind, and courteous he
would be."
"Right-O," commented the Book
keeper. "and what else would you do
if you were a real philanthropist?"
"I'd organize a band of heroic vol

"Oh, lots of things." replied the

A Smart New Coat Adapted Both !•
the Present and to the Future.
By MAY~M ANTON
tf||
8563 Coat with Yoke for Misses and
Small Women, 16 and 18 years.
The yoke coat is one of the newest and
smartest and is especially attractive for
voung girls and for women of gi'lish figure.
This one can be treated as sho -n on the
figure, to be adapted to the cold days
and to the bleak March winds, or made
flaring collar and with different
trimming on the sleeves when it becomes
suited to the milder days that are to
coine. In whatever way it is finished,
it is essentially smart and attractive,
and since the belt can be arranged over
the fronts or under them, it is adapted
to almost even- figure. The fullness in
the back is laid in plaits and they are
held by a belt which is passed over them
and attached by means of buttons. Such
a coat has all the advantages of avail
ability and of extreme smartness and yet
is quite simple and not in the least diffi
cult to make, for the slightly full fronts
that are joined to the yoke are easy to
fit. Every suiting material is appro
priate, but nothing is more fashionable
than the sand-colored gabardine illus
trated.
For the 16 year size will be needed
yds. of material 27 in. wide, 2yds.
3 6 . 2 % yds. 44, or I*4 yds. 54 with i'J
yds. fur banding to trim as illustrated;
*8 yd. velvet to make collar and sleeve
trimming.
The pattern No. 8563 is cut in sizes for
16 and 18 years. It will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department of
this paper, on receipt of tea cenu.

Hearing For Leo Frank
Will Be Like New Trip.l
Special to The Telegraph
Atlanta. Ga., May 3. Leo M. Frank
virtually will Ket a new trial when his
petition for clemency is taken up by
the State Prison Board. Instead of the
usual technical hearing, the commis
sion intends to pro into the case from
every angle, it is said, and its recom
mendation, whether for or against
Frank, will be like a new verdict.
Governor Slaton and Governor-fleet
Harris, who succeeds Slaton in June,
have expressed the wish that the com
mission exercise unusual care in deal
ing - with the petition. Both feel that in
view of the criticism of the procedure
at Frank s trial, the commission should
go into the case as if no verdict had
been rendered against Frank. Friends
of Frank expect to present new evi
dence at the hearing.
One of the strong, points for Frank
will be the letter from the late Judge
Koan, who presided at the Frank trial,
declaring that if he lived he would ask
clemency for Frank, as he was not
satisfied with his guilt.
