Hetty Green was born eighty years
ago today. When she was 20 years
old she inherited the fortune Of her
father. Edward Mott Robinson, thus
becoming possessed of what was said
to be 100000. From this compare
lively small nucleus she has, through
her own sound business sense, amass-
ed what is probably the largest for
tune possessed by any American wom-
an Her fortune came not through
any single lucky turn. but through
wise investments in stocks bonds,
securities, railroad properties and real
estate of all sorts. She Is recognised
as one of the most remarkable nnan-
ciers of the time.
Lucy Toulman Smith was born in
Boston seventy-seven years ago today.
When she was years old her par
ents returned to their home in Lon
don. where she was educated by her
father. From her early childhood
she was very fond of reading and

Britain Miss Toulman was one of
the most liberal and generous of Eng
lish scholars, aiding and encouraging
both men and women librarians and
receiving in her home noted scholars
from all over the world Aside from
her work as a librarian her chief in
terest is agriculture and she has
gained no little distinction as an ANA
teur gardener
Mary Johnston gained distinction a.

father having been major In the Con-
federate army. 1t was in 1897 that
she finished her first novel, which she
sent to a prominent publisher, who
Immediately recognized a work OF I'M
usual merit. This book appeared as

brated novel was To Have and To
Hold which is acknowledged as one
of the best historical novels of the
period.
