tage, 'Tis Said.

New York. May 2S.--Following the
dinner Of Mrs. Hetty Green. at the
Plaza hotel, which cost 500 a plate,
and represented almost as great an
outlay as Mrs. Green has been accus.
toned to devote to household expenses
for two months or more during her
residence in a s19-amonth Hoboken
fiat, it became known today that Mrs.
Green and her daughter, Sylvia have
planned TO spend the greater part OF
the summer season at Newport
The richest woman in the world has
not yet decided whether she will take
a cottage at Newport, but her friends
believe her favorably inclined toward
such a step as a move to enter society.
Mrs Anna Leary, the Countess Lear,
has been the social sponsor for Miss
Green for couple of seasons, when
Mrs. Greens daughter paid visits to
the formers cottage In Newport.
Although Mrs. Green has shown Il
surprising leaning to the social life
in the past few weeks. she by no
means has lost interest in finance.
For this reason. il is said, she favors
Newport best, because 1t is in reach of
Boston and New York, where her chief
financial interests are centered.

ernment, temperance and marrlage
and divorce We're the important sub
jects before the general assembly OF
the Presbyterian church today.
Ply far the most important action
of the session was the adoption of the
resolution which makes it impossible
f9 any paid agent or member of the
church boards or permanent officer
of the general assembly except the
moderator, to serve on executive com
mittees ruling the body of the admin
istrative affairs of the church. The
creation OF an executive commission
Is the direct result of the ever recur-
ring cry that certain men in the
church were acquiring too much
power, The action today means that
all church boards will report to the
executive commission of fifteen mem
bers. when it has been selected, aud
that the government of the church
will devolve on men who have not
heretofore served in executive capa-
city.
The church reaffrmed its position
that divorce should be granted only
upon biblical grounds The assembly
approved the efforts of the interna
tional conference on influencing pub
lie opinion to overcome the evils that
threaten the sancity of the marriage
relation, the integrity of the family
and the welfare of the state.

ton of $4,000 to continue the work of
