anything more than one of the city's
many society girls, writes New York
correspondent. If you should be in
troduced to her and listen to her en-
gaging, vivacious chatter, you would
not believe she was anything less
than one of the most charming and
popular Of them all.
Miss Belle Green began to learn
about old books In the Princeton H.
brary, where she made special study
of them under the direction of Junius
Morgan, nephew of J. Pierpont. She
is familiar with every style of binding
and type and illuminated letter
through three or four centuries. They
are all she cares particularly about
in the way OF books.
Entirely Free From Affection.

er. One has to study in diverse fields
and be ready at the slightest warning
to identify any form of book that Is
put up for sale. For there are stolen
books to be guarded against, as well
as spurious.
The. book recently purchased for
$4,000 was the famous William Cax.
ton edition Of Sir Thomas Mallory's
"Morte d Arthur." Everything Caxton
did is famous, they say. No one has
ever been able to bind books quite
AZ beautifully as he did. Miss Green
bought eleven of his books once for
more than $4,000, and it was count
ed a remarkably shrewd bargain at
that.
She Knows All About Books.
Miss Green is not particularly in

her enthusiasm. She can tell you
who printed and bound 1t, how many
like it there are in the world. who
owns them, what they paid for them
and the circumstances of purchase and
the state of preservation. She knows
all about them.
And she can tell by the paper. Some
times she has to determine the point
of time by knowledge Of contempor-
eneous thought. For instance, she
fixed the date OF one book by the pic
ture of ar obscure saint that was in
vogue at certain place at a GER
tain time. Obedient to the current
fashion in saints. the picture of this
saint, practically unknown, was placed
in the book; and Miss Green, knowing
all about the fashions in saints. was
able to say when the book was print.

When she doesn't know she does
not hesitate to ask. She goes all the
way to the Vatican to ask the man
there and makes frequent trips to
Europe in quest of information that
