1t Is Probable That No More of Them Will
Ever be Coined by the Government

shilling, six-pence and three-pence that
were coined here are known under the
name of the Pine Tree Money" John
Hull, who was the contractor for the
Massachusetts mint, received one shil-
ling for every 20 coined, and as the pine
tree coins were issued in great quaint
titles, he grew very wealthy. For almost
a hundred years the pine tree coin was
the chief coin in circulation in New Eng
land.
For Maryland's use, Lord Baltimore
in 1861 had coined in England the shil-
ling, six-pence and penny. France took
the lead in sending to American posses
sions copper coinage, in 172l giving
Louisiana a small copper coin bearing
the letter L, the initial of the king, Louis
XIV. The English colonies, which had
been clamoring for copper, were at last
heard, and in 1921 ten tons of copper
coin were exported to Massachusetts,.
In 1873 England sent Virginia copper
coin that for long was one of the most
beautiful of the coins in use in this coun-
try.
Among our early coins was the Wood
Money. ''or Rosa Americana" In 1922
William Wood, of Northampton, Eng
land, obtained a monopoly for coming
tokens" to be used for currency in
America. This coin, which was made of
a mixed metal that resembled brass, OBJ
tanned quite wide circulation. In 1877.
there was in circulation in Connecticut
private or unauthorized coinage known
as the CRANKY of Higly token. There
were various devices in the Higly token:

The shady summer hat is made of the

scarf of white soft silk ribbon, spotted
with green, and tied in a very large
double DOW in front.
The other little girl wears rather b

very youthful bridesmaid or train
bearer at a summer wedding. The
frock is carried out entirely in white
embroidered muslin, and made up over
slip of pale blue pongee silk. Two
f1ounces of Open-work embroidery
form the skirt, while the embroidered
sleeves are very prettily plated on the
shoulders, and again at the wrists.
There is a deep cape collar of the same
embroidery, with wide band of en-
broidered muslin down the center Of
the bodice in front. The little chemi-
settle is of white muslin, crossed by
bands of insertion. The sash, which is
tied very low in the waist, is of for
get-me-not blue soft silk, while the
quaint Dutch bonnet is also of white

Directly three o'clock, orsix bells, was

white mixture.
The other assistant had a mammoth
bottle of some fiery red fluid.

prepare for operations, an old bench was

a small platform erected near it.

Suddenly there appeared. walking

He was travelling around the world as
a finish to his education and, although
accompanied by a tutor who filled the
double duty of friend and mentor, he
was always anxious to Investigate every
thing for himself.
This inquiring turn of mind had al.
ready led him into disaster in the smok-
ing room where he had insisted upon
learning to play bridge and poker.
AS soon as his mild, pleasant counten-
ance appeared at the turn of the pass
age, the same thought struck every one.
1t was a pity, but it was too good
chance to miss.
Mr. Eversham, for that was his name,
had been taking his afternoon nap, he
was as regular as baby about his hours,
and had just come out.
Father Neptune walked gravely up to
the astonished youth and taking him

Fa shion Notes from Paris

taffeta mousseline can be admirably
mixed with cambria and lace.
The Henri II. sleeves are a feature
of the best picturesque frocks of the
moment. Diaphonous fabrics of all
kinds must, of course, be used. But
though we are in the midst of volum,
inous masses of drapery, beautiful lace
and embroidered muslins, we daily
hear rumors from Vienna that the
plaineSt of tailor-made costumes will
shortly be in vogue. The leading
Americans have already appeared in
coats made with small close-fittine
sleeves, over the most severe-lookina
blouses, almost like bodices. The old
habit-coat, with a small basque is,
hear, to be revived. 1t is. of course
only the first-clasS tailor and the wo,
man possessed of a really good figure
who should attempt these plain tot.
lettes.
But for the moment the muslins
taffetas, linons de sole, and such like
ethereal fabrics hold their own. and
the picturesque modes will remain
with us until we adopt the cloths anG
serges of the autumn.
Everything is bouillonnee, gauge(
and applique. Quaint cross-oyer pele
rine effects are arrived at by the sof
fichu or by piped plaitings. These ar,
in keeping with the lines of the skirt
and the Henri II. sleeve. Curiousl.
stir are the old-fashioned killings
though the fabrics mostly used ar,
soft. and there is generally a littl,
chemisette of lace or embroidered mus
lin. The same applies to ruches, which
are made in every variety. Musli,
and yalenciennes can stand an,
amount of plating and ruchine.

small pink roses, made in chiffon !
Similar little roses are also used
upon the fully-draped sleeves to catch
up the fulness along the inner side Of.
the arm, while they appear again upon
the front of the bodice, where the trel-
lis-work idea is repeated in a slightly
different way. In this case, the leaf,
green ribbon is folded and drawn,
round the shoulders fichu fashion, be-
fore being arranged in trellis form in,

the bodice, the muslin is finely tucked,
while the bodice Is prettily finished

chemisette of transparent ecru lace,
In white or ecru spotted muslin, this
would be pretty frock made up over,
a color, while the same idea might be
suitably carried out in figured net or,
embroidered muslin made up over a.
colored silk foundation. The hat which
is sketched with this dainty muslin
frock is of pale tan-colored Leghorn,
with a wide band of black velvet rib
bon, folded round the high crown, and
clusters of full white ostrich plumes,
arranged to droop over on to the brim'
in front.
The craze for picture frockS and pic
ture hats, so characteristic at the mo-,
ment of the fashions for madame, will
naturally find an echo in the modes for
mademoiselle, and in the case of young
girls this vogue is one which opens up
various interesting possibilities. Num-
bers of old prints and engravings, as
well as family portraits and the works
by old masters can all be pressed into
service, and will be found to offer in
Vulnerable suggestions for picture
frocks for young people.
Sweet simplicity is the keynote of
the summer hats for mademoiselle,
and seldom have the fashions been
prettier in this respect than they are
this year. For quite little girls, moth
ing is nicer than the demure and SEN

count To our great financier, Robert
Morris, belongs the credit Of our decimal
money. but it was Thomas Jefferson
that proposed the dollar as unit of &C

dollar was familiar to the minds of the
people, and already as much referred to
as a measure of value as the respective
provincial pounds - the provincial
pounds of the recent ruling English.
Spain borrowed the dollar from Aus
tria during her union with that country

the dollar was coined from Bohemian
silver mines. The Spaniards with their
wonderful wealth of American mines
supplied the world for centuries with
silver, and made the silver dollar be-
