Death Releases Hetty Green's
Last Philosophy on Fashions
Clubwomen Were Made to Give Industrious Women d
Chance, She Mused Stopping Briefly from Business
A Topic She Would Not Discuss

have been Of any vintage but for tho
little shiny spots along the seams
which proved il not a recent model,
she sat with white hands carelessly
folded in her lap before an old roll
top desk heaped with papers in orderly
piles. And this gentle old lady, who
smiled as tenderly as an old-fashloned
grandmamma, even though her black
eyes occasionally darted shrewd
glances, was the woman who could
make brilliant business men, learned
in the financial game, sit up and hg-
ure far into the night 10 find out Just
how Hetty Green had won while they
had been less fortunate.
"Maybe | don't look il, bat like

that I'd ever try to tell anyone what
to do or how.
81 think you ought TO make up your
mind just what you want TO do, then
20 ahead and do IT, That's the only
way to get what you want.
Didn't Like Reporters.
"You don't look like a reporter,
Mrs. Green unused, lowering her voice,
which seemed always to be pitched in
soft key, "lf you had, | shouldn't
have spoken TO you. | don't like re-
porters and don't talk TO them. Guess
thew don't like me. either and she
raised her hand in a protesting gesture
as she laughingly remarked: mo. no.
You needn't soften that any. | believe
in telling the truth. II never hurts
ANYBODY but those it should hurt.
Trouble with reporters is they
never get things straight They want
10 get sensational feature. when II
they'd look twice they'd see the biggest

fail 70 see.

woman, and there's not much time left
for mo 10 do things in. 80 I'll have TO
use every minute. Remember, I've
Just been talking 10 you and this is
not an interview, so don't print a
word"
Mrs Green then cordially extende
her hand and shut a cold gray door
in a sorrowful face as well as on a
story. II never was printed unsll to-
day. and only now because death re
leased il and the story showed what
a simple, kindly little woman the
clever fnancier, Hetty Green, was.

Charles t. Hughes will have his entire
campaign mapped out down TO the last
cetail about August 10, when ne starts
on his coast TO coast speaking trip.
Just now he is spending hours daily
in his library here marshalling the
vast amount OF material he has gath
cred into such shape that it can be
readily converted into campaign argu-
ments.
Mr.. Hughes is attacking his problem
as a lawyer would a case. He is acting
as IL he were the chief counsel in tho
case of the Republican party versus the
Wilson Administration. He is going
about his task in the same thorough
fashion that he assumed in 1905 when
he returned from the Tyrolean Alps TO
act as counsel for the Armstrong lnves-
tigating Committee.
Those who followed his work at the
time remember how he gathered around
I
70 the insurance business and assimi-
lated them so that when in the autumn
he was examining some OF the biggest
insurance EXPERTS in the country he had
a thorough knowledge OF his subject, to
the amaZement-a and al times confu-
sion-of the witnesses.
Mr. Hughes IS also going 70 set a
model for public speakers on his coast
70 coast trip by making speeches IN
which the high lights will be covered IN
+ 200 words. Each speech, however, VIII
be infinitely longer than this. but
everything outside OF that length VIII
deal with topics Of purely local inter
/ est.
The primary object in coniining the
main portion Of the speeches TO l,2OO
words is that that much will be read 70
the last period by the average news
paper reader. while a lengthy speech
would be passed BY In other words,
Mr. Hughes will be his own copy cut
ter.

round OF golf on the links OF the

This afternon the two elder daugh-
ters of Mr.. Hughes, Helen and Gather
inc. were guests of their aunt, Mrs.
Colin Carter, at n tea given in their
honor at the Shinnecock Hills Golf

Mrs. Hctty Green. who died yestcr-

IN other things besides proving herself
the clevercst woman fnancier in the
world. Less than year ago she
chanced 20 meet a woman reporter on
the street. who greeted her and asked
for one Of those rare and highly priced
interviews.

closely scanned the hopeful face for
full minute. then examined the length
and breadth Of the reporter. "Hum.
You look bright and you're not wearing
those fool-colorcd shoes that are now
in what they call fashion. I'll talk to
you," said Mrs. Green. leading the way
into her house.

Texas, and president Of the Texas
Midland Railroad. In addition TO his
interests there. he greatly assisted
his mother IN the management Of her
affairs. He carly became interested IN
aviation. particularly in the work Of
the Wright brothers. and six or seven
years ago became himself an expert
bird-man and organized an aviation
club IN Texas.
For many years Mrs. Green lived in
a plain and Inexpensive apartment or
fat IN Bloomfield Street, Hoboken. and
IL was from II that her daughter went
TO be married. After that marriage.
however. Mrs. Green found the old
home lonely and inconvenient for the
visits Of her daughter and son, and she
therefore removed 10 this city. where
she established herself in a handsome
but unOstcntatious residence. During
nearly all Of her life she clung TO the
Quaker faith Of her ancestors. but
about four years ago she was baptized
and received into the Protestant Epls-
copal Church.
The death Of Mrs. Green is expected
TO be the signal for the opening of a
bitter legal battle over that portion OF
her estate which she inherited from an
aunt, Sylvia Ann Rowland. who died in
1864. Bv the aunt's will S2.000,00O was
left to her niece, and this at Mrs.
Green's death was TO be divided among
the heirs Of her grandfather. Gideon
Howland. Mrs. Green maintained dur
ing her life that this trust fund was
intended for her use alone. In 1909 1t
was estimated that there were 500 rela-
tives who. If the provisions OF the Will
were carried out, would inherit sums
Of from a few thousands 10 SlOO,OOo
each. This fortune has already been
the subject OF much litigation.
Will Case in Court.
Three years after the aunt's death
Mrs Green appeared in the United
Statcs Circuit Court in Massachusetts,
with a will which she wanted substl-
tuted for the one already probated.
This will was in Mrs. Green's own
handwriting. and some of the most
famous experts Of the day declared
under cath their belief that the two
signatures it contained were not made
BY the aunt. but were traced by hettY
Green herself over an original sigma
ture of Sylvia Ann Rowland.
The litigation is one OF the most
famous in court annals. After an eN-
pense OF sl72.00O the case was dis
missed on technicslity. An appeal
was made 70 the Supreme Court OF the
United States. but while this was pend-
inQ private settlement was reacned'
From those days 70 the time. OF her
death Hetty Green was involved IN
