LADY CROESUS

KOHEY FHGH POTS AMD PAMS HRS SCARFE PREFERS SCOTS. LONDON, August 18. Newspapers are keenly interested in the doings and sayings of Mrs Scarfe, of Adelaide, who was a centre of interest during the Mauretania’s voyage from America. The ‘ Evening News,’ reproducing her photograph, describes her as homely and jolly, and dressed so plainly ami fj'nictly that nobody would imagine that, she was the wealthiest woman in Australia.. Mrs Scarfe denies that she manages largo financial interests, stating that she merely draws an income therefrom. She regrets that an increasing number of wealthy Australians are investing their money in America because they think that' the most, stable country. Tim Searfes, who made their money out of pots and pans, had never done that. She added that she would rather see lots of hard-headed Scots in Australia than the Americans who were teeming in.
