HETTY GREEN'S OPINION.
She Says That Women Don't Know
How to Save.

Nearly every woman wants to be rich,
says Mrs. Hetty Green in Success, but
she has vague ideas Of how she should go
about making money She reads in some
newspaper about some woman who has
been successful in stock operations, and
the first spare cash she gets she invests
in stock with some curbstone broker.
Ninety-nine times out of every hundred
she loses her savings. Then she's dis
couraged, and believes that it's not pos
sibe for women to make money. She re-
signs herself to keeping house for the rest
of her life. and her career as capitalist
is ended.
This woman went about her task IN the
wrong way, and so does nearly every
other woman who starts out to he ONE
rich Those men who say that not one
woman in ten has the money-making in
stinct are nearly right. Women like to
sound money but they don't know how
to make it. If they could become rich in
day, or a month, all would try, but
they never can make up their minds to
work years to accumulate a fortune, as
men do. Women would much rather spend
than earn.
And because women spend so much
they are hardly ever in the field for In
