Americas Goddess of Liberty is about
to be married. She is not going to wed
Uncle Sam, nor any other figure of speech,
artistic convention or symbolical abstrac-
ton whatsoever. Being a live concrete
creature herself, she prefers to take up
with male individual Of the same char
acter. 1t is only on silver coins, state
seals, capitol walls and monumental pc
destals that she poses in Green robes
and bearsiG the ..peace-compelling imple-
ments of war. Privately, and in her own
proper person and modish clothes, she is
a modest young American woman who
teaches school Of children for her living.
She is Anna Willess Williams by name
and she is native and resident of Phila-
delphia; Her face Is that of the only off
cial and authorized Liberty. 1t was made
so by an act of congress. Here is the
story.
In 1876 the treasury. department engage
graver and designer. who for years was an
attache Of the royal mint of England. His
first assignment was the creation of a
design for the silver dollar about to be
issued. He completed the reverse side first,
hoping all the time to be inspired with q
suitable design for the Goddess of Liberty,
which, all agreed, was most appropriate
for the diverse side of the coin
Thomas Eakins, the well-known artist
was a friend of Morgan, and also a Wis
itor at the house OF Miss Williams par
ents. 1t was through his influence that
Miss Williams was induced to pose for
Mr.. Morgan. The sitting took place at the
home of Mr.. Ealxins, in Mount Vernon
street, in November, 1876.
For more than two years it was kept
a secret that Miss Williams was the or
iginal of the silver Goddess of Liberty
From the day II became known, Miss Will
hams has been made miserable by the
scores of letters addressed to her by adj
dle-pated men, who write to her for her
autograph or heart, hand and fortune
She is school teacher, receiving about
$50 month from the board of education
She will not tell whom she has engaged to
marry, as her fiance objects to the conse-
quent notoriety.

repeat their recent performance at the

messed it before. In addition to the
regular performance there will be a

did institution, and this is the first
public entertainment which has been
given for its benefit.
