While formerly efforts were made In a way to introduce greens hore, no flattering success has as yet attended tho green innovation for men after
they have reached retail distributors. Nevertheless greens have been bought quite extensively for fall by both manufacturers and retailers, and the moot question now is, will tbev take? A clothing man who has made considerable study of men's fashions for practical use in the clothing business contends that no color of fabric that can be made a Joke of will ever become popular with men, and he holds that any man wearing green at once becomes tho butt of his friends' humor. , A hlgh-clnss Fifth avenue tailor Imported early In tho spring two pieces of green cloths. Up to July 1 he had sold only three suits off the two bolts. Another firm made window displays of green suits, and advertised them as well, but who has seen on Broadway many men attired In green suits? A few, yes. Greens have been and are still popular In neckwoar, hose and among

"It's time for this to be stopped It has gone on too long," Molly declared, "when she was wearing your new waist! It Isn't fair to the rest of us " "It Isn't fair to Jessica," Theo answered, gravely. It was easy to say that it must be stopped, but as in many of the needed reformations in life, stopping it was a difficult matter. An opportunity came at last, however, one evening, when the family, with one or two intimate friends, was having an evening of old-time games, one of which Involved forfeits.

Tho font of writing tho Lord's Prayer upon a spaco which a sixpence would cover Is so familiar as to :enso to bo wonderful; but one enn-
aot resist a tribute of genuine astonishment to a man who can write tho wholo of our national anthem along the thin edgo of an ordinary visiting card, and who hns actually penned blDgraphles of King Edward and several members of his family upon a tiny grain of wheat. Such a microscopic calllgrnphist" Is M. J. Sofer, a French sentlemnn, who, wo should say, could safely challenge tho world to rivalry in his own flold of penmanship. Perhaps nioro wonderful still nro :he portraits of celebrities which M. Sofer produces out of their biographies. His presentment of tho Czar, for Instance, is not only a clover likeness, but every stroke in it is n part
oi tne commons lifo of tho Russian Emperor, In letters so minute that to the unaided eye they seem part of an ordinary pen line, while the artist is it present engaged on a similar plc:uro of King Edward which will bo mado up of his biography, containing 44,000 letters. Thero has probably never been a time when this art of minute penmandilp has not exorcised Its fascinations, in Cicero's time, about 2.000 years ago. tho whole of Homer's "Iliad" was copled so microscopically thnt It was placed in a nut shell, and a few con-
iiirys later nn artist wrote n short poem and enclosed It In it hollow grain of corn, while still another penman In theso long-gone days actually wroto a verse of Homer on a grain of millet. Pedottl. a fourteenth-century ItalIan, performed tho most astounding feats with his pen. Ho wrote a noeni
of 100 lines on a space no larger than his little finger nail; mado an elaborate landscape sketch. Including a shepherd and a drove of sheep, which a grain of com completely covered; and penned a long treatise on poetry in such minute letters that the manuscript had the apoarance of a close series of perfectly straight lines; whllo ho dedicated to Urban VI, a history of tho Papacy, which took the form of an excellent likeness of tho Pope In whose honor it was written. Urban was Incredulous when he was assured by the artist that the portrait was composed of more than 12.000 words in the form of n consecutivo
history, and exclaimed, as well as he might, "Why, this is nothing less than a miracle." But Italy hns no monoply of theso minute calllgraphlsts. Many centurys ago. Peter Bales, an English Chancery clerk, wo learn from the Harlelan
manuscripts, transcribed tho whole of the Bible In such small compass that ho was able to Inclose It In a walnut "The nut holdeth the book," we aro told: "there are as many leaves in his little book ns the great Bible, and he had written as much In ono of his little leaves as a great leaf of the Bible." And. not to bo outdone by Peter Bales, another Englishman, of the seventeenth century, one Henrv Mason, copied tho whole of "Paradise Lost" and enclosed his manuscript In a hen's egg. As we havo seen," M. Sofer Is by no means the first pen artist who has made a portrait the medium of a long narrative. At the British M'useum there Is to be seen an excellent likeness of Queen Anne, llttlo larger than half a sheet of note paper, every delicate line of which Is made up of words and nontenccs, the entire narrative being sufficient to fill a small vnlmno.

A certain editorial writer on tho stafT of a Southern newspaper was inclined to dllatorlness during certain periods of conviviality, and caused thereby much concern In the breast of the foreman of the composing room Just prior to the moment when tho forms must go to press. But the wrltter was a part owner of tho paper nnd could not well bo discharged, alnco ho
occupied the position of managing editor. Many times tho editorials were lato and the pnpor delayed In going to press, but the delinquent writer al
ways made good arter a foshlon. Finally he hit upon a scheme when ho wns called upon at the Inst moment for "copy" thnt may, in all Justice to expediency, ho called the art of genius. Tho hour was very late and no leading editorial had gono to the composing room. In frantic haste, tho foreman sent for the editorial writer, nnd only after half an hour was ho located In a near-by snloon nnd much the worse for his dalliance there. Hi; grasped the Intelligence thnt ho had forgotten his leading column, and mado his way as fast as ho could to his office. Snatching a piece of copy
paper In one hand, ho caught up a copy of the New York Times with tho other, nnd from It clipped n leading editorial, which he pasted on the paper Then he wrote:
