Miss Green on America.
Hetty Green, America’s richest woman, now a septuagenarian. confessed that since she passed the Biblical ago her views on America have been deeply tinged with peMuniwn. "There’s nor honesty, nowadays,*’ she declared. "The country’s money mad. Wholesale thievery is going on everywhere, and the American people are willing to do any* thing for money. Worse than thia dishonesty, however, is the shocking condQ tion of American homes. There are nff homes in New York any longer. Womeil spend all their time and money on ■■lathes and amusements, and let the homes take care of themselves. They feed their husbands and children OB tinned food. Th* husbands get angry; then there is a row, divorce; or if there is no divorce the hit-bands get sick M tiaaad food and dia.”
