But if that average woman had to do what the richest country does to make and retain her wealth she would probably resign | her ambitions after a brief trial Hetty Green is the richest woman in the country She bas something | like $60,000,000 ou which she wili | have to pay an income tax of $60, 000, as her incowe is a trifle over | $3 (00.000 a year Mrs. Greeu doesn’t wear good clothes. It is doubtful if she has a piece of jewelry worth $2 She doesn’t ride in a carriage, and she is never seen at the theater or opera. She is without amusement or luxu- ries. She has a husband, daughter and son, but they live apart from her and each other She has but ove thing besides her $60,000,000 and that is an absorb ing ambition to make her son the | richest man in the world. But the Rockefellers, Astors and Vauderbilts | each havea great deal more than she bag, and it is almost certain that Hetty will never live to see her hopes realized. But her wealth is pulling up ata fabulous rate. She doesn’t speud $500 on herself, aud the sums she alluws the other mew bers of the family do not aggregate $10 000 a year. If she lives fifteen years lovger her fortune will be more than doubled. Hetty Green's day is a hurder one | than that of the average $5 a week | shop girl, She begins to work | earlier and keeps at it luter than the poorest paid aud hardest worked | woman in town. Mrs. Green lives | around at different places. Moving about is almost a mania with her. Sometimes she lives in New York at cheap boarding houses; then she will skip over to Brooklyn, and again she | will try to bide herself and her | identity in one of the suburbs, usu ally a Long Island village If Hetty Green has any place that | she can call home it is in Mrs. A. E. Bonta’s boarding house at 89 Pierre | pout street, Brooklyn. Mrs Bonta is a distant kinswomau of the multi millionairess, but there is no senti ment between thetwo Mrs. Bonta | has to keep a boarding house for a} living, and she takes Hetty Green| simply as a boarder. Strange tales are told of Hetty by the other boarders in the house. They say Mrs. Bonta won't allow her | to sit at the table with the ocher boarders because of Mrs. Green's) general slouchiness in appearance Certainly Hetty is no fasbion plate. But it is strange that the| richest woman in the country — haye to eat in the kitchen, off kitchen table, while servants pe scullions are hu t to serve | food to a lot of bo ple. | house peo When Mrs. Green is Pierrepont street house is up every morning at 6:30 o'clock.
