SMAAKES HIS R THE WEALTHIEST HEIlRESS IN THE WORLD. , I The will of l-lerr Krupp. the great gun manufacturer, left the works at Essen to the testator's elder daughter. Bertha, to be administered by the wid ow until the daughter attains her majority. The great gun factory and subsidiary properties are estimated to be worth $75,000,000. This makes Fraulein Bertha Krupp far and away the wealthiest girl in the world, the next being Miss May Goelet, who was Royalty in Congress. Prince Jonah Kunis Kalauiauole, who represents Hawaii in the next house of representatives, is the first royal person to enter the congress of the United States. Already there is much speculation as to just how he will be addressed. He is called at home "Prince Cupid." Those who want to avoid such familiarity desig nate him as Prince Kunio, which is correct. Some may insist on "Mr. Kalauiauole." but the name is so long and so intricate in vowels that it is feared few who are not acquainted with the Kanaka language will care to try it.

"New" Women of Old. If the translation of the Babylonian tablets are to be believed, the "new woman" is about as old as the human race. Five thousand years ago she asserted her equality with man, car ried on business on her own account, tlherited property and made her will dke man. There is a possibility that she anticipated the bankruptcy laws by having her husband's property "deeded over.' If her husband married .a second wife in her lifetime-as he was en titled to do without fear of prosecu tion for bigamy-he had to return the first wife's fortune, and she was free to go where she chose and do what she liked, without troubling the di .orce court.
