One night last week Henry j. Smith,
who inherited fifty million dollars, had a
real live duke in his box at the horse
show. 1t SO happened that the very next
evening he was in the same box with his
butler. This shocked New York society.
and the following interview about 1t with
another rich mans butler appears in the
