ted Upon Her Invalid Husband.
Developments of the last few days would
seem to indicate that Mrs. Hetty Green, the
shrewd possessor of many well invested
millions. has sentimental side to her
character.
Possibly this would not have been discov-
cred If her husband. Edward A. Green, had
not been attacked by rheumatism several
months ago, necessitating the services OF a
massage artist, who. it is said, is called
Mrs. Howard.
MIR. Green. when in the city and away
from his wife. lives in the Cumberland, a
fashionable bachelor apartment house at
Fifth avenue and Twenty-second street.
There until a late hour on Wednesday Mr..
Green. still tortured by rheumatic twinges'
was faithfully attended by Mrs. Howard,
morning and evening.
The chief clerk of the Cumberland was
alone in the office Wednesday night,
when through the Fifth avenue entrance
stalked tall woman, severely plain in
dress and countenance. He recognized her
as Mrs Hetty Green, whose wealth is pop
ularly estimated at $50G00.000.

said, for myself and daughter"
But, madam" said the clerk, this is ex-
clusively bachelor house. YOU know, ana

hotel man. 'you can stay here for ten days
no longer-with your daughter, but keep
it quiet. Get rid OF this Mrs. Howard as
gently as possible. For heavens sake do
nothing TO stampede my bachelor tenants.
They must not know there is woman in
the house"
Mrs. Green and her daughter that night
occupied vacant suite directly above Mr..
Green's rooms, and early the following
morning moved To the attack. No one
knows exactly what happened when Mrs.
Howard arrived TO perform her usual ser
vice and found herself face 10 face with
the invalid's wife.
Listening hall boys caught the sound of
vigorous alteration. but Mrs. Howard
abandoned the field. She founced out OF
the sickroom ana vanished from the house,
