HIDES 24 YEARS AFTER WEDDING LONDON. May 14. A dilapidated dwelling In the quaint Tillage of Mldhurat, Sussex, may be known in the future as the "House with the Green Shutters." Although a woman has occupied the house for twenty-four years, very few of the 1,000 villagers knew she lived there. She was almost as completely hidden from the world as if she had dwelt in a wilderness. The secret was revealed only when she died recently. Soars ago, when she was 30, she mardad a man younger than herself. Soon *le regretted the step; suddenly she disappeared.

not know her whereabouts for years, ghe had not even told her sister. "If ever you need me put an advertisement for a cook in certain newspapers." Years passed. Every day the wife without a husband must have studied the advertisement columns of the news papers she had fixed upon. The call came in 1896. The woman answered It and went to the “house with the green shutters,” to her sister. There, too, lived their brother, but, unknown to him, this secretive, loue’.y woman entered the house. Unknown to him she occupied a room there. He and the sister died. The woman In hiding dwelt there until her last day. No oue ever saw her out of doors. The weatherbeaten house is really two houses made Into one. The two front doors have remained looked and holtcd for at least twenty years. And all that time the ground floor windows have been barricaded by the heavy green shutters. "She was a complete puzzle to us." said a neighbor of thp mysterious double house yesterday. "We knew she w 9 there, but for years and years we nevei saw her. She never put her face outside the front door. “When the war broke out and my husband joined the army she became more friendly. Occasionally she would put her head out of the ba< k door and inquire about the war. "She did uot seem to know anything

of what was going on in the outside | world. Her favorite topic of converse- \ tion was money. ‘Save all the money you can,’ was her <rft-repeatd_advice. " ‘You should always keep your front door locked: you never know 'who might walk In unexpectedly,’ was another of j her sayings. “She seldom talked about herself, but | on one occasion she told me that if ever ! I wanted her. I was to knock on the side door. ‘Never knock on the front door.’ she said, ‘because I shall not answer it. 1 never answer the front door, because I'm afraid that one day someone might come wfcora I do not want to see.' "How she lived Is a mystery. Once a week a little boy would call at the house to run errands. “In the depths of winter I’ve seen her hands swollen with cold, hut she never complained. Her clothes were old and ragged and her appearance suffered from general neglect. Mother and Daughter in Graduation Class HUNTINGTON. W. Va.. May 14.
