A Color to Which the Irish. Hungarians
and Italians Are Partial.


with the beginning OF tho spring season of
new styles green came into fashion. Green vel
vet. green tulle. imitation grass. green ribbon,
and leaves-it seems almost 10 the masculine
observer that there Is green everywhere this
year in woman's dress. Varieties ~ green are
almost without number, but the most popular
are Nile green and emerald green.
Heretofore green has not been a familiar color
in New York's daily life, except ms an emblem Of
patriotic observance. Emerald green has al
ways been the favOrite color Of the Irish people,
as It Is the groundwork OF the Irish flag, and
green velvet and green ribbon have been OBJ
served more generally and promiscuously on
March II than on any other day in the year in
