luck souvenir is coin waist belt made
entirely of 10 cent pieces. II was start
ed by her first class of girls. every one
of whom was devoted to her, When
their term was over however, their
very meager pocketbOoks would allow
the majority of them to give only 10
cents apiece So one of their members
conceived the happy idea of having the
dimes Joined in the form Of bracelet,
and each girls initial was scratched
on Liberty's cap.
As class followed class. the idea took
root and the ten link bracelet has grown
TO good sized waist belt With four
rows or coins. Some are thick and
some are thin ard .'a~-- hor~ hardly a
