with the other boarders, because of
Mrs. Green's general slOuchiness in
appearance.
Certainly Hetty is no fashion-plate.
But it is strange that the richest
woman in the country should have 10
eat off a kitchen table, while servants
and scullicns are hustling about to
serve food to Il lot of boarding house
people.
When Mrs. Green is living at the
Pierrepont street house she is up every
| morning at $50 o'clock. She sleeps in
little 6x9 back hall bedroom, with
nothing grand in the way Of furniture
and with no fire. She is tifty-nine years
| old, but cold and d comfortless room
have no terrors for her.
Her husband, Edward H. Green, lux
| uriates at the Union club.
Her daughter, Miss Sylvia Rowland
Green, a young lady of twenty nine,
spends much of her time with Miss
Anna Leary at the latter's Fifth ave-
nue. home Miss Green has five mill
! ions in her own right.
Hetty's son, Edward H. r. Green, a
shrewd young man Of twenty-seven
years, spends most Of his time going
about the country looking after his
| mothers interests.
But Hetty, the owner of all the
wealth, is content to live in a $7-a-
week room and eat with servants.
Mrs Green says, with some pride.
that she can dress herself in hVe min
utes. Judging from results, kor friends
say they could do just as well in one
third of that time. 1t is not often that
there are more than two or three but
tons on Mrs. Green's shoes. She is
her own laundress, and washes such
trifes as stockings, handkerchiefs, etc,
in her own room.
Her dress is a nondescript affair in
faded black, consisting of a frayed
skirt and basque of no particular
style 1t cost Mrs. Green $3.50. Her
jacket, which was originally marked
$6, she bought for $3.50 after it had be-
come shop-worn.
She owns what is called a false
front" 1t is a gray-black patch of
hair which Mrs. Green, in her haste,
slaps on one side or the other of her
head, but never by any accident in the
middle. where it belongs. With a little
faded black bonnet on her head and

morning at o'clock when she is stop
ping there. She clears a place for her
self at a plain pine table, gets a plate,
knife and fork and spoon, and then
helps herself to a portion of whatever
is being served. She gives no trouble
to the people in the house, as she
waits on herself and isn't at all prodi-
gal in the use Of china.
Mrs. Green eats heartily and after
breakfast she draws a chair up close
to the kitchen range and begins to
read the morning paper. This is lux
ury that she cannot give up. Besides,
| it helps to inform her about the fiuc-
| tuations in stocks.
Right here It must be said that Hetty
| is not Spectator. She doesn't gam
! BILE. She is a sure thing investor.
| Bonds, mortgages, solid stocks of con-
! sentative concerns and kindred securi-
! ties are her favorites. But Mrs. Green
| likes to keep track of the financial
world. So she buys newspaper and
| religiously settles with the vendor
| every Sunday morning.
She has a great admiration for Rus
| sell Sage, mainly because Russell
| lunches in the Western Union building
daily, thing that he can do free of
| charge, as he is a director of that in
stitution.<
At 8 o'clock Mrs. Green leaves the
| boarding house, invariably by the back
| way. She has great fear of anarch-
lists and robbers, and it is this dread
that has forced her into SO many. &C.
centricities in the way Of dress and
manner of living. By dressing poorly
and living obscurely, and by chang
ing her abode often, she hopes tc
throw off the track any one who may
have dangerous designs upon her.
The Pierrepont street house is within
five minutes walk of the bridge. I'm
less a small cyclone is blowing, Hetty
not only walks down to the bridge, but
over it as we'll
I At $50 o'clock Mrs Green is pushing
her way through the crowds at the
New York end of the bridge. She
crosses City Hall Park, and makes
straight for the Chemical Nationa
bank. She is one OF the heaviest
stockholders in that institution, the
richest of it's kind in the country.
Besides, she keeps a cash balance il
the bank of $2,OO0,0O0 or more, so thai
she can take advantage of any money
squeeze at a moments notice. Cashier
Quinlan and President Williams, OF
the bank, are her daily advisers.
No one but the Waterman and janitoi
of the bank are. on hand when Mrs
Green arrives Not the humblest clerk
is about at that time. Mrs. Green goes
straight to her desk in the rear of the
bank and opens her letters. Most OF
them are begging epistles.
Mrs. Green goes in for mortgages or
business property to large extent
She always looks over the property
herself before a deal is consummated
Big men in the world of finance call tc
see her at the bank.
At / o'clock she lunches with the
bank employees. 1t doesn't cost heI
| anything.
All the afternoon she slaves, and ii
is usually o'clock before she starts
for the bridge and the $7-a-week hal
bedroom that she calls home.
! AT 9 o'clock she is sleeping the sleep
