The calm which had settled ON Alix'
life puzzled her. She wondered II she
was beginning to miss Gerry less. She
was still debating the point when Col
hngeford arrived In the city. Upon
arrival he called on Mrs. j. Y. and
then on Nance and then. Of course, on
Alix. As she came into the room he
felt a strange Huttering In his throat.
1t stopped his words of greeting. He
suffered and stared. He had never
felt so glad at the sight Of any one.

Colllngeford recovered himself. "Nei-

he added gravely. ats been an eter-

But Alix was not to be diverted
!rom her tone Of badinage. She looked
aim over critically. "well," she said,
j congratulate you. I didn't know be-
fore that bronze could bronze. What
q lot Of health you carry about with

Collingeford smiled. "Clem said

yours eyes in a vice. You wonder
why. I'll tell you. It knows. That's
the way it was with Bodsky. He only
towered-knew-understo0d. II that

They were silent. Presently Col
lingeford helped her out and together
they passed through the rich foyer. the
latticed palm room. and up the steps
into the latest cry in dining rooms. A
little table in the far corner had been
reserved for them. As they crossed
tables. Some looked and were silent
because ALA was beautiful and dain-
tily gowned and Collingeford all that a
man should be, but those who knew
looked because Alix was Alix and Col
llngeford was Collingeford. These soon
fell to whispering, predicting match.
Alix bowed abstractedly here and
there as she followed the head waiter
to her seat.
They sat down. each half facing the
room. Alix caught her breath. "Whif-
fing the old air?' asked Collingeford.
NO" answered Alix. "Only sigh
ing. feel 80 out Of it and that al
ways makes one sigh whether one
wants to be in it or not"
Alix paused. go on" said Collinge-
ford.
There are only a few men in the
room, but almost all of these women
have husbands. The husbands are in
two tenses-past and future. There
must be a present but 1t is nebulous. 1
didn't know before but I know now
that in time these women will go back
or forward to their husbands. Some
day they win get dizzy and fall and
the shock will wake them up"
"You see, you understand, you are
prophetic" said Collingeford, smiling.
But do not tower like your Bod
sky" said Alix and then bit her tongue
at the slip.
A shadow seemed to fall on them.
The rooms high, delicate panellng and
the painted oval Of the ceiling seemed
to hover over a suddenly darkened
emptiness. The hum and chatter of
the throng became little and far away.
Collingeford and Alix felt as though
they sat alone and yet not alone. Col
lingeford nodded as though Alix had
spoken. YES" he said, "Bodsky has
come back to us. Don't regret it.

"Bodsky was elemental. He was an

the first time he spoke to me. l didn't

Wide Interest in Subject.

The law prescrbes that the change
of designs on coins shall be supervised
by the director of the mint and ap-
proved by the Secretary of the Treas
ury The selection of the new designs
has required a good deal of patience
and care. owing to the universal in
terest in the subject and its historical
Importance.
Although the law does not require
that the fine arts commission be con-
suited in connection with the changing
of designs for coins, Secretary McAdoo
instructed Director Woolley to submit
the designs for its criticism. The Sc
lections We're passed upon by the COM
mission as most satisfactory from an
artistic point of view.
Several sculptors were commissioned
to submit sets of sketch models. From
more than fifty of these models Sec
rotary McAdoo and Director Woolley
selected three sets. In this radical
departure has been made, as heretofore
the diverse side of the half dollar,
quarter and dime have always carried
the same design, an emblem symbolic
of Liberty, and the reverse of the half
dollar. and quarter dollar an eagle
of the same design. Only the reverse
of the dime has been different.

new SILVER COINS
TO Be READY SOON
Samples of Half Dollar, Quar-
ter and Dime Received
at Treasury.
DESIGNS HAVE APPROVAL
OF ARTS COMMISSION
Officials Hope New Mintage Will
Revive Waning Popularity Of
the Half-Dcllar.

Samples of the new half-dollars,
quarter dollars and dimes which are
to be put into circulation some time
late in August or early in September
have reached the Treasury Department.
These samples are not coinage perfect,
but show the artistic value of the de-
signs. For the first time the legend
in God We Trust" is to appear on the
silver dime of United States mintage.
There has been some delay IN per
fecting the dies. 1t was expected that
the new coins would be minted and in
circulation by this time. The Phila-
delphia mint has found it impossible to
accomplish this. The coinage of the
present designs of these coins will
cease within the period of year.
Under the laws governing the coinage
of the United States, designs and de-
vices on any coin may not be changed
within twenty-five years after adoption
of existing ones. The emblems now in
use on the half-dollar, quarter and
dime We're adopted in 1891.

Its Popularity Waning.

Director Woolley suggested varying
the designs in order that the half dol
lar might be given more individuality
and thus restore it's waning popularity
Strange to say, it has practically fallen
into disuse.
The design of the half dollar bears a
full length figure of Liberty, the folds of
the Stars and Stripes fl wing to the breezes
as a background, progressing in full
stride toward the dawn of new day,
carrying branches of laurel and oak.
symbolical of civil and military glory.
The hand of the figure is outstretched
in bestowal of the spirit of Liberty.
The reverse of the half dollar shows
an eagle. perched high upon a noun
tain crag, his wings unfolded. fearless
in spirit and conscious of his power.
Sprnging from rift in the rock is
sapling of mountain pine, symbolical
of America.
The design of the twenty
piece is intended to typify. in meas
ure, the awakening interest of the
country to its own protection. The law
specifies that the diverse of the
coin not only the word Liberty but
a representation of Liberty shall be
shown.
In the new design Liberty is shown as
| a full length figure, front view, with
head turned toward the left, stepping
| forward to the gateway of the coun

words I'm God We Trust" which words
also appear on the new half dollar
