Spring Coat Can Be Made Into
 Ore s s
sPRINQ COAT la worm uo II

4 SPRING COAT Is worn SC little "A and the styles differ so much
 from one year to another that very often one is left with a coat of perfectly good material on their hands, because if it were worn 1t would ap- pear conspicuous.
 No doubt, next year there will be e great change in the style of coats and the fashionable wrap of this year will be useless, unless it is greatly altered.
 If you happen to possess one of these long, tight-fitting coats you can make 1t immediately useful by trans- forming 1t into serviceable and at- tractive fall dress, which will be in the height of fashion, as the straight line coat models are predicted for fall and winter dresses
 It is very easy to bring about this transformation. Such coats are so much like dresses all that is needed Is to have some sort of a fastening device. If its original way of fas- tening was in the centre, buttons placed down the front, a leather belt around the waist and a tie to match the belt will make a very practical dress. If the coat fastens at the side with a tie-string, snap fasteners can be placed underneath to keep 1t to- sether. After this is done the collar and cuffs can be covered with bright cOlored silk. A navy blue coat of this description trimmed with red silk or flannel, with a large red button at the tie-string, will make a very attrac- tive dress.
 If a more elaborate dress is desired the collar and cuffs may be embroid- cred in heavy silk or wool and a deep border around the bottom of the dress of the same embroidery would be very fetching.

A HINT FORM FRANK JAMES

Ed Buffers Standard was the home of variety in St. Louis. Butler had clientle that would be described today as hard-boiled. It was their pleasure to chuck the doorkeeper into the street now and then just to show him his nlace. Frank James, brother of Jesse, appearing in St. Louis, fresh from nrison term for train robbery, and out of work, Butler hired him as sdoorkeep- CT. James was a mild-mannered, run-of- the-mill citizen, after the best train robbinR traditions, beneath whose milk and-water surfaces lurked forked light ming. His reputation alone sufficed to keep Ed Butler's customers. in order, but he fell so far short of the red-shirted desperado on the blue horse, as depicted on the cover of The James Boys Re- yenge, and other volumes of that five cent library, that Weber and Fields at first pooh-poohed his identity.
 Frank was amused.
 "The judge and jury didn't have no such doubts," he drawled.
 On their second visit to St. Louis after Franks advent at the Standard, he gave the boys a personal demonstra- them after a years lapse, then added, The Weber and Fields advance man was breezy, pushful, back-siapp1ng young go-getter whose brassy approach irrit- ated the ex-train robber. James had greeted Joe and Lew amiably on seeing ton of the James family temperament. en passant, If you send that bleating advance man around here to poster me again, I've made up my mind to kill him. He plumb annoys me-" Jesse's 8 brother may have been speaking hyper bolically, and he may not. That will never be known. An event occurred which led his employers to order the supersalesman not to cross the Mis- sissippi the next trip out.
 Joe and Lew liked to offer the last of the James boys a cigar or a drink in an effort to draw him out on his purple past. They drew him out 30 far on a later night of that week that he shot out the lights of Fourth street saloon. The bartender batted no eyelash and went on polishing a wineglass. James spared one light for illuminative pur- Doses fliDned a hin on the bar and ran
