NEW JOB
JOHN GREEN, butler for twenty-five years to Mrs.
Eleanor Hurst, of Lowndes-square, S.W., whose £24,000 will was published recently, finds that he and his wife must look for another job-although one day practically the whole of the fortune will be theirs.
Mrs. Hurst told John Green that when she died he would find himself wealthy. But only her furniture goes to Mr. and Mrs. Green at once. The rest of the estate is left on trust for life to Mrs. Hurst's sister, Miss Bertha Nicoll, of Argyle-road, Kensington, W. It goes to the Greens after her death.
