Extravagance a Fault That Could
Not Be Truthfully Ascribed
to Hetty Green.
Some years ago Hetty Green paid a
visit, with her daughter Sylvia, to the
Connecticut village of Pomfret. They
stayed at un Inn conducted by Miss
Vinton. On the evening of her arrival
Mrs. Green sent Sylvia to the attic
for a packet of love letters which
Sylvia had that day received from vnrl
ous admirers who had never seen her
nnd who "loved her for herself alone."
The room they hnd taken was on the
top floor, because Mrs. Green believed
that a syndicate had been formed to
kidnap her daughter and herself for
the sake of their wealth. The letters
she read aloud for the diversion of
the other feminine guests assembled
before the fireplace.
When the day came to depart It was
rainy.
"How much will It cost If Sylvia and
I use your carriage to the station?"
Mrs. Green said to Miss Vinton.
"Twenty-five cents. But it's nn open
buckboard and you'd get wet"
"How much would It cost if we used
the station wagon?
"Fifty cents."
Mrs. Green looked at Sylvia's be
draggled bonnet and dross nnd then nt
her own clothing.
"Well, Sylvia, I guess we haven't
got anything on that tho rain would
hurt. I guess we'll take your back
board, Miss Vinton."
