Uncle Sans Designers Have

Though three daring dress makers

appearing at a French racecourse in
wonderfully constructed costumes. and
though their Introduction of the sheath

women in every big city of the world,
1T has remained for the designers of
Uncle Sans coin of the realm to give
the dlrectoire gown immortal fame.
me Goddess of Liberty herself is the
latest victim of the latest fashion. 1t
isn't her fault, for without asking her
consent or that of anybody else, the
coin makers have stripped her of her
HoWlng robes and gowned her up to
date SO she appears costumed on the
brand new $40 gold piece, which is the
latest legal tender product of the gov
eminent mints, and SO the mint officials
nave decreed that she is to remain
gowned.
The Goddess on the new twenties
wears a directoire even more daring
IN design than any that have yet been
turned out by the fashionable modistes,
for instead of displaying a modest slit
TO the knee, her gown is slashed almost
TO the hip, and she stands with left
leg thrust boldly forth and left foot
planted on a rock. She is the chief at
traction on the reverse side of the new
twenties that have just been coined
and that We're first put into circulation
on Sunday
This is the coin that has come to re-
place the much abused design of st.

pends on the point of view. That isn't
the only change, but it is the most
noticeable. This time the eagle has
eschewed trousers and is in full flight.
The American bird occupies the center
of the diverse side of the coin. Nat
uralists might object to the fact that
his pinions are not spread as is usual
with eagles in flight, but are stretched
high above his back, and also they
might take exception to the abundance
of feathers on his legs. However, ma

he is handsome eagle.

The Goddess holds aloft an olive
branch in one hand and a torch in the
other, while at her back is a clump
of chaparral, and near her right foot
the dome of the capitol. The lettering
on the diverse reads, United States of
America-Twenty Dollars" and on the
reverse is the word Liberty" the date

rim on the reverse side are 46 stars,
representing the states. GE
