THE SILvER-DOLLAR WOMAN.
Call for . Permanent Type Of Beauty for Gu,
Coinage.

Call for . Permanent Type of Beauty for Our
Coinage.
From the Boston Herald.
The new coins showing Miss Anna L. Will
Jams pretty profile as Liberty are an improve
ment on the cash which has worn out our
pocket books for SO many years, but there is
still something to be desired. Before the lines
of this new Liberty are quite obiterated by
circulation would it not be well for the design
ers and officials who look after the coinage of
this young country just to decide on a model
for beauty, have her idealiSed and then cast
the die for all time? Although Miss WILL
Jams is doubtless a handsome woman,
there was no good reason why the designer
should have perpetrated her with a swollen
jaw. and sent her down to posterity as she APP
pears on the new half dollar, for instance. The
Greco-American type is a divine mingling of
the classic and affectionate, but perfect regu-
larity of feature, as illustrated by Greek art is
not lovely IN the latter sense, save in one sOli-
tary Instance-the Venus of Milo, who has pro-
file the world loves to kiss. The other day
chance brought me in prosaic electric car be-
side a girl whose profile was the most beautiful
example OF piquant delIeacy and regularity
possible to conceive. Chances were stolen at her
from time to time, and the artistic spirit which
animates even the average Bostonian had begun
to boil with admiration, when just at that mo-
ment she turned her front face and the ideal
vision melted into thin air. She was actually
ordinary. A sculptor could have told what
was the matter with the proportions. but it
only proved to the laymans mind that this
thing we call beauty exists merely in fractions,
| and that the perfect whole is but a dream of
genius after supping full on many models.
Nevertheless, could this lovely profile, which ID
possession in itself, be given to the designers
