Mrs. Hetty Green In Poor Health.

Mrs. Hetty Green is reported to be
in i'll health. The trouble appears to
be due to cold imprudently contrac-
ted and,so far, there are no reasons fol
anxiety on the part of her friends. The
latter must be hume rous, as her wealth
is fabulous. Mrs. Green was once fond
of taking long walks about New York,
and she showed Partially for rides
in Central Park on fine mornings.
Latterly, however, this female Croesus
has been living in a rather retired way,
and Gothamites do not have much OPP
portunity of seeing her. Mrs. Green
has not been in perfect health for over
a year, but il was not until she caught
cold lately that the fact attracted par
ticular attention.

One advantage in striking all newly set
