Green Is eertaiuiy a favorite color at prcocul, both for day and evening wear. From the tales! sUiwmeriug silver green, filch is so ai Untie, to the pronounced hunter' green, through such varietita ns olive and myrtle, it represents a fas.iuituig gamut of shades. Laurel, rainttte, chartreusse, forest and llchyu are new names given to tha various shades. A clear, fresh forester ! a popular hade for street wear, especially when combined with bUc and white. Almost pastel In lu charaettr Is a new silvery green called willow, which la almost as subdued and soft as, a delicate gray, though tt Is more becoming to the average complexion, uBuuily very much tried by gray. For evening, the very lightest shades are used with a preponderance of Nile green.. Red la undoubtedly very popular. It la worn more for entire costumea this year than for many season past; and it la also fashionable In bats and for trimmings. The new reda range from the bright shades to the tints of ertmaon purple. Scarlet, cardinal, claret, currant, flamingo, cranberry, ruby and garnet ara among tbe favorite reda. Cerise and coral are among the lighter tints. The various shades of brown are also In evidence, especially chestnut and coffee tones and a certain chocolate hue. A Paris Idea Is to combine several hades of tbe same color in one gown; for instance, a dark brown xlbelln may be trimmed with zibellne of a lighter brown and with vest and collar sf orange. Red, blue and green Are treated In the same way. Brown Is also effective with creamy white vests and yellowish lace. The latter Is very graceful If threaded with turquoise or black velvet. Many of tbe handsom-- t lacea are treated in this manner, and while It la a case of gliding tbe Illy, the iffect Is what la desired, as it serves to bring out tbe pattern. For uch threading, chenille la often employed. though velvet baby ribbon is used with the very coarse lace. , X SKIKTS Skirts 111 STIl.t tighter to the hips TIGHT-FITTIN- and flare more widely below the knee than ever before.

Tbe object Is to leave Uta figure tree of encumbrance so that tbe skirt may fit perfectly above tbe knee, yet preserve the nererwy fullness below." Another petticoat, called tha "skeleton" and designed for tbe same purpose as the one just described. consists in Its upper part of strip of ribbon sewed a couple of laches apart to belt and joined at the knee with or tbs regulation accordion-pleate- d ruffled circular flounce.

Weeks and months passed and the young woman continued to live a life of seclusion, alone in the quaint Uttl cottage. Finally, by some chance It was learned that tbe mysterious young woman's name was Miss Margaret Nowland, and that she came from the far West. More than this no one could discover, -- Miss Nowland never went to the postofllce nor to church, and except to buy food she nevetfftcayed beyond the little wicker gate whlcj&ut the outside world from the lawn which stretched around tbe hermitage. For fifty years this has continued and all the force of New England curiosity has failed to ferret out the history of Margaret Nowland, which would have remained a mystery until the end of time had not unforeseen circumstances brought to light the very romantic story of this womAu's Ufa Mtrloui Stranger Comet About one month ago, the town of Forest Hills was startled by seeing a while-haireman push open the gate leading to the hermitage, walk brlBkly e' up the path tp the fiont.door, and lift 'JN the kmxker, whiih fell back with a sound that seemed to demand admitMudol F v.nlng Coin, Hv1 tance for the intruder. r rom Joha W .nnm-ke- r, Broadway, N.

The wedding day was set and all wu going happily when, without warnin, preparation for the nuptial rites stopped. The young girl.

Margaret Nowland severed all ties, gave up friend and home, and taking with her a small fortune which she possessed In her own right, traveled east until she rea hed- - Massachusetts. Here she settled, as has been told, In a forsaken cottage In Forest Hills, and for fifty years lived the secluded life of a hermit, never once gnlng an inkling of her past to anyone. Three year ago Mrs. Stern died in Denver, and sinte then Horace Stern has bent ail his attention and energy in searching for Margaret. How he found his old sweetheart is a story of determination and perseverance. For three years he scoured the country, passing through almost every Btate of the unfon.
