O00.O II IL an amount almost as
large as that which Russell Sage left

NOR OF her fortune 10 surround her
name instead iof the mans. as al
ready has happened In Mrs. Sage's
case. Hut her wealth will change
that quickly. for II places her among
The four richest widows In the coun-
AIRY. The six who by drawing checks
could make up a quarter billion are
Mrs. Sage. Mrs. Smith. Hetty Green.
Mrs. Anne Weighiman Walker. Mrs
Marshall Field and Airs. Marshall
Field. Jr.
Each OF these FIRST four women has
fortune several times as great as
that OF either Mrs Field. In fact. II
Is possible Mrs. Gage. Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Walker aud Mrs. Green could
make such showing without me aid
Of the Chicago widow.
isetty Green's fortune Is estimated
NJ from se0,o0o.oo0 to $4,000. 900.
Leaving her out Of the count. the
list is headed by Mrs. Sage and Mrs.
Smith jointly. for, though the widow
OF Wall streets great money lender
received ss5.000.0o0 under his VIII,
she has given away si5.oo0.o 900.
Next comes Mrs. Walker with &c.,
100000 Mrs. Field the elder has
si5.ooo.00o. Mrs. Field the younger
S5.oo0.o0o BHi the comparative
smallness OF young Mrs. Fields for
tune Is Offset In a sense by the fact
that her sons when OF age will d..
vide 5oooo.ooo. Mrs Green and Mrs
Walker are the business women OF
the six and each inherited her for
tune from her father.
In Mrs. Walkers case. however. the
fortune came from William Weight
man practically as II stands to-day.
whereas Mrs. Green received only
si2.ooo.ooo from her fathers estate.
and at least quadrupled that amount
through her own ability. Mrs. Sage
and the elder Mrs. Field are the only
widows Of the six whose fortunes
we're amassed by their husbands.
