NEW YORK, July s.-Mrs. Het-

woman in the world" died today

Mrs. Green. who was in her
S3rd year. had been III for several
weeks. 1t was rumored week
ago that she suffered a stroke OF
spoplexy in March.
Col. +. II. r. Green. her son,
left the house at 1880 this after

funeral arrangements might be
made. Mrs. Green died in the
apartment which had been fitted
up for private offices.

trained nurses had been attending
her disguised as seamstresses, al

Hetty Howland Robinson Green
was a woman with a purpose. She
aspired TO be the richest woman in
the world. Her love for piling up
dollars dominated the thought and
action of her entire career. She
gave up society, quarreled with her
family. antagonized her business as
sociates, lived misery. made mon-
ey and talked religion. She died a
tremendously wealthy woman. but
not the richest woman in the world.
Mrs. Green's fortune exceeded
$100. 100000. How much IL exceed.

Mrs. Marshall Field and Mrs. L. III.
Hartman possess greater wealth
than that Neither OF the last.nam-

fortunes. Mrs. Green added more
than s90,000,000 TO the $4,000, 900
her parents left her. Before she
got the sl0,000,00o she had built
up quite n comfortable fortune of
her own from the nucleus of a S25'
savings account deposited to her
credit by her father.
