IN GoD WE TRUsT-F. NJ, City. half dol
lar OF 1850 without the motto 'In God We
Trust is not scarcity, and is worth only its
face value. Prior to 1864 no coin of the
United States bore that motto. A writer
who looked up the matter gives the
following account of the placing OF
of a motto or device the coins had been
suggested many times more or less directly,
but the suggestion that was finally adopted
came from a Maryland farmer. In 1861,
when Salmon P. Chase was Secretary of the
Trearury, this old farmer suggested that aswe
claimed to be Christian people, we should
indicate our profession on our coinage The
letter was referred to James Pollock, the Di-
rector of the Mint who in his report for 1869
discussed the question OF the recognition of the
sovereignty of God and our trust in him on
our coins. The proposition to INTRODUCES him
on our coins, he said, mad been favorably con-
sidered by Mr.. Chase, and he did not doubt
that it would meet with approval by an intelli-
gent public sentiment. But Congress gave
no attention to the suggestion, so in his next
annual report he again referred to the subject
as follows: The motto suggested, 'tGod Our
''The Star-spangled Banner" The sentiment
is familiar to every citizen of our country: it
has thrilled the hearts and has fallen in
song from the lips of millions of American
freemen. The time is propitious; tbs an hour
of National peril and danger an hour when
must be of God. Let US reverently acknowl-
edge his sovereignty and declare our
trust in God two-cent bronze piece
was authorized coined the following year
april %, 1864, and upon this was
first stamped In God We Trust By an
act of Congress, March 8, 1865, the Director of
the Mint was authorized to place the motto on
ali gold and silver coin."

SILK PETTlCOATS.

r the matter OF rettiCoats the aver
age woman refuses to be economical.
She may claim She can't afford a
1 new spring Jacket. but she is apt TO
regard her silk petticoat as ne
cessity This in Part may be due to the
fascination of its rustic.
The new spring petticoats for spring
seem almost too pretty to be hidden be
meath a plain dark skirt. They are cut
umbrell fashion and measure as many
yards around as the dress skirt. The new
est for ordinary street wear are made
OF changcahle tsffetd with two thickly
corded ruffIes. The rettiCoats in dashing
plaids are much the vogue. and also those
made OF black taffetI with oolored stripes.
When the striped taffeta is used for a skirt
the ruffles are made of silk matching the
stripe in color. -7
One OF the latest silk skirts is of black
taffeta with a deep flounce OF black lace
at the bottom. Above the flounce are
three rows of lace insertion in graduated
widths. Showing beneath the broadest
is a band OF light green silk. under the
next a deep rose pink is visible. and the
top band has for its foundation strip
OF gold color.

When the veal is ready and the biscuits

can be served together. This is much more

A LENTEX COSTUME.

'7HE most attractive and at the same
time the most distinctively Lenten
costume seen recently was one of
i heavy dove gray faille. There was
a haii-!enGth wrap OF the same
material lined with violet velvet. The hat
was small and Consisted chiefly Of soft sra J
ace with a border of yioIets resting on the
hair. A unique feature of the costume. and
one which showed great individuality of
taste. was a pair of gray gloves with
gauntlets embroidered in yiolets.
Violots, by the way, are much more con-
spicuous and aggressive than the poets
would have them. Their modest little
heads are iamIned together in punches
as big as sunf.owers, and they are con-
sidered correct upon the Lenten wor-
shipper at any service. The fancy of violets
will not limit itself TO this time OF 81 ckcloth
and ashes, however. Many of the Easter
hats are almost entirely made of violets.
Violet stra ws and guaze OF the same tint
a S the flowers viii be hard to distinguish
from the real blossoms in the carly spring
hats.
Violet will be proper color in the spring
and summer goods, also pale green, and
indeed, the tints in the products or art
will follow in natures wake very close.
Violet Innings and facngs give Lentcn
appcarance to what one might call secular
gown.

United States is infinitely superior
to her European sister. Free from the
fetters that often make the French old
maid so ,pitiable and ridiculous. she does
not, like the latter, expect to gain liberty
by marriage.
On the contrary, by marriage, she would
lose that perfect independen which allows
her to cultivate herself more and more to

one that has disfigured SO many hundreds

that woman's bonnet seems 10 grow in
size in proportion to her goodness. Look
at those worn by the Sisters OF Charity and
the women of other religious orders; also
the great. gray scoops OF the Q uak ladies,
and then observe the airy trifles of ribbon
and lace which do service as head-cover-
ings for the women who devote themselves
