to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame. Personal life Green became close and lifelong friends with Oakley and Smith. They lived together first at the Red Rose Inn (they were called "the Red Rose girls" by Pyle) and later at Cogslea, their home in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia. In 1911, at the age of forty, Green married Huger Elliott, an architecture professor, after a five-year engagement, and moved away from Cogslea. Green continued to work through the 1920s and illustrated a nonsense verse alphabet with her husband, An Alliterative Alphabet Aimed at Adult Abecedarians (1947). Green died May 29, 1954.
