DIES.

RETAINED DRESS OF THE '80'S. Victorian Whims

(Reuter's Special Service.)

London, Yesterday,

- Miss Everet Green, the famous novelist who for twenty-three years wrote very successfully under the name of "Cecil Adair," has died at Madeira with the secret of her dual authorship well kept.

Under the name of Adair she achieved big successes, one being "Gabriel's Garden," the sales of which reached 150,000 copies. She averaged three books an- nually, and in thirteen years produced thirty-five novels..

She retained her Victorian characteristics, condemning mo- dern fashions, herself wearing the trailing skirts and high col- lars of the eighties. She used to give her publishers instructions that the heroines depicted on the covera of her books must be "adequately and modestly dress- ed."
