 William Jennings Bryan when in Congress arguing in favor of an in- come tax said:

 As notorious there for never being Tn fepair. In winter she hid herself in some of the least expensive neighbor- hoods around New York, guarding her identity by putting the name of her pet dog Dewey on the doorplate. Her daughter Sylvia was her only companion. The latter she kept from society, but in 1909 consented to her marriage. at the age of 30, to Matthew Astor Wilks, a wealthy New Yorker of 57 years. The lonely mother then removed herself for time to a suite of rooms in one of the most fashion able Fifth avenue hotels, but this lux ury was soon given up.
 It was Hetty Greens ambition to make her son, Edward Rowland Green, the richest man in the country. She put him through many severe tests to try out his business qualifications. A story is told that when he was boy she sent him out to the street corner to sell the morning paper from which she had read the financial news. She finally sent him to Texas where he eventually worked himself to the front as a railroad man and financier. Since 1898 he has, been president of the Texas Midland Railroad and factor in many other interests. In late years he largely assumed the management of his mothers property.
 Typical of some of the turnovers by which they made large sums of money, was the sale of hundreds of acres of land in Chicago which they had ob- tained before under foreclosure pro- ceedings for few hundred thousand, and which sold for millions.
 Hetty Greens investments were largely in mortgages and whenever she invested in anything it was only after she had made the most minute personal examination of the proper ties. She never disclosed in detail the secrets of her success, but she admit ted it was mainly in buying when things were cheap, and never selling until they were high. If asked for advice as to what would $e good to invest in, her spigramatic answer was usually, s"The Other World"
 While never intensely religious she was a frequent attendant at Quaker meetings. and only a few years ago she, like her daughter, was baptised in the Episcopal church.
 She emphatically denied that her disposition was miserly. During the panic of 19O7-08 she made loans which tided over many wealthy New York ers Two years before the panic, 1t was said. she had gathered in a large portion of her money and was pre- pared when the storm broke to lend a helping hand, at good rate of in terest. It was sometimes intimated that upon her death the country might be surprised at the disposition she would make of her wealth.
