, that "E. H. r. Green, heir apparent to
, the vast fortune of his mother Mrs
Hettie Green, explains the fact that
he is a bachelor at 40 by saying that
! he refrains from marrying because OF
! the haunting fear that he will dis
! cover, after the fatal step is taken
j that some designing woman has mar
| ried him for his money" In the
: first place, Mr. Green should know
r as many others no wiser than himself
: know, that really few women marry
4 for money. Some do, but their design
. is apparent enough SO that Mr.. Greer
: and many another less sagacious in
: dividua1 may discover their inten
: long before anyone has been com
Y promised or deceived. Probably nj
: one has asked that a law be passed
compelling Mr.. Green to marry. H
is, so far as known, still free mora
# agent The Objectionable thing abou
: it all is that, coming from such mai
: as he, statement which he seems t
o dignity with some seriousness is i
q fact libel on womankind"
