TWO WOMEN FINANcIERs.
Hetty Green And Anne Weightman
 Walker.

But the two most important women financiers of America are Mrs. Hetty Green and Mrs. Anne Weightman Walker. Mrs. Green is a truly remark able woman. who has amassed a for tune of over s6O.O0O,0OO, and put to rout interruptions lawyers and people who have attempted to get the better of her in all parts of the country. "I have made my money by jUdicious invest ments," Mrs. Green declared recently. and not by speculation-only fools speculate"
 Mrs. Green is probably the only wo- man in the world who can afford to buy up whole railways to amuse her son. Some years ago she wrote out one check at the Chemical National Bank on Broadway, New York, for the entire price of the Texas Midland railroad, and turned it over to her son, F. H. R. Green, who now lives in Dallas, Texas. Ned is a good boy" Mrs. Green re- marked to the present writer, and have intrusted him with the manage ment of all my property west of Buf- falo"
 Mrs. Greens enormous fortune which she has made herself, remember -is distributed, as she says herself, pretty well everywhere that money can go and bring back something" And yet this woman is living in a shabby flat over in Hoboken. N. J., for which she pays less than a pound a week four rooms on the third floor! She has a horror of all the things the average rich American woman adores, such as motor cars, jewels, lovely frOcks, horses and carriages, a box at the opera, and so on. Mrs. Hetty Green allows her self just one personal servant and she has ever been known to bring her own lunch to her business headquarters, which is the Chemical National Bank, near the New York general postofice.
 And her neighbors at home-even in the same hotel with her-are humble clerks, artisans and typewriters. Just before she rented her present flat she had another at five pounds a month, but moved away on account of the mo- toriety attaching to her refusal to pay an eight shilling dog license on the pet of her daughter Sylvia. Above all things, Mrs. Green detests publicity of any kind. and she does her shopping under the name of Nash" which name is also On her dOOrplate.
 At her summer home in Bellows Falls, Vermont, this enormously wealthy woman will have no curtains to the windows. and hardly any furni- ture at all, beyond the barest neces- saries. The result is that servants will not stay with her, and the big, old fashioned colonial home is fast falling into neglect.
 A vastly different woman financier, as regards her personal tastes and pre- dilictions is Mrs. Weightman Walker, whose flat at the Hotel Renaissance costs three thousand pounds a year, and is replete with luxury to a start ling degree. This flat, remember, is quite small set of rooms: and among Mrs. Walkers servants will be found q French chef at five hundred pounds T year, and several chauffeurs for her many automobiles, besides coachmen fOotmen, maids and so on Totally un- like Mrs. Green, Mrs. Walker loves beautiful horses, French frocks, dia. monds and the like She likes to sur round herself with interesting persons, and positively abhors eccentricitv in any form. The only thing the two wo- men have in common is an intense love for business life. and amazing skill in high finance. Mrs. Walker has ransacked the markets of the world for Oriental rugs and objects dart for her flat, which is also fitted with most elaborate burglar and fire alarms, while private detectives are employed to guard her person day and night. = N.
