THE WORLDS RICHEST WOMAN

Bellows Falls, VII, Sept. 5.-aThe

stroke OF a pen, but they won't do
it. said Hetty Green, ut will cost the
United States government $2S000.OO9
to collect the $29,OOO.OO0 fine
Mrs Green, the richest woman Ii
America perhaps in the world, is on
her annual vacation Of month. She
is stopping here. where she still owns

bride. "A servant and Mrs. Green's
daughter Sylvia, preceded her, to open

Mrs. Green had no worry about bag

dress for a travelling suit. an equally
rusty black hat with dusty black
chrysanthemums set unsteadily over
her left ear, shading the stern face
and shrewd eyes, and the ubiquitous
handbag clutched in her right hand,
covered with its rusty black cotton
glove, she boarded Madison avenue
car for the Grand Central station.
Here she fell in line with other trav-
elers and most certainly she avoided
the Pullman ticket office, making
straight for day coach in which she
settled herself for the long ride.

and even $25-a-week clerk taking
his wife on vacation would pay $1.50
for the restful chair in Pullman
car, but Mrs. Green does not share
this weakness. A day coach is quite
good enough for The richest woman
in America.
When luncheon time came and the
first call from the diner echoed
through the car Hetty Green leaned
forward, dipped her hand into the
deep pocket Of her rusty lawn frock
and drew forth an apple and couple
of crackers She bought neither
sweets nor reading matter from the
solicitous 'newsy.H
At Bellows Falls she alighted from
the train and nodded right and left to
attaches and hangers-on at the sta
tion.

AFFINITY CASE
REVIVED

Alexandria, Egypt July TO, B. G. 35.
(Via Western Press)-An affinity
case has Just come to light here,
which threatens to involve the Egyp-
tian court in a scandal, the like Of
which has never been known in its
history. All court society is agog
with excitement over the story which
is being whispered abroad to the ef-
feet that Queen Cleopatra has SO
charmed Marc Antony, the Roman
general, that he has thrown ambition
to the winds, in order to bask in the
sunshine Of her love. Her reputation
in this respect is well known, though
no one dares say so. AS queen Of
this wonderful land Of the Nile she
has won many men through her wiles.
and made Of them her slaves. She
Is one Of those rare women, who arise
In the various periods Of the worlds
history to over throw empires and
wreck careers Of the greatest men.
It is related in court circles here, that
as girl she had met Emperor julius
Caesar won his love and induced
him TO reseat her on the throne Of
Egypt whence a family quarrel had
forced her. There is a suspicion that
she even poisoned her husband.
Ptolemy for love Of Caesar. But that
is now ancient history.
When Marc Antony came to Alex
andria it was as the judge Of the
queen. AT first sight Of her beauty
he became her slave at least, 50 the
gossips say. Your correspondent was
told this morning by an attache Of the
court, whose name must obviously
remain secret, that Mare Antony and
Cleopatra are living in luxury, dissi-
patton and extravaganza that is sim
ply shocking. One act Of extrava.
gance occurred last Thursday It
seems that her majesty, dissatisfied
that her wine could be obtained at
such small cost. resolved on a drink
that should be priceless. She obtain
ed the largest and costliest pearl in
Egypts treasury, which she dropped
into a goblet filled with vinegar; then
as the gem dissolved in the acid. She
drank the entire mixture. This story
is vouehed for byyour correspondents

has it that Marc Antony recently. with
great secrecy, divorced his wife Oc-
