MILLIONAIRE HEIRESS
••RESTING” IN HAWAII . HONOLULU, June 1. Countess Barbara Hutton Mdivani Haugwitz von Reventlow —plain Babs Hutton to Americans—the restless glamour heiress of the U.S; Woolworth 5 and 10 cent chain store kingdom, is “resting” in Hawaii. She told reporters upon arrival here that she is making plans “only a minute ahead.” Her reasons are: (1) A new heartache; and (2) she wants to become an American citizen again. She lost her citizenship rights when she married Danish Count von Reventlow. Now she is divorced from him. The heartache is an American golfer, Robert Sweeney, who will not be able to marry her until her divorce becomes final in February. Babs inherited £8,125,000 when she came of age. If the American authorities move her on, Babs may go to Sydney, she said, and take a home for a few months. ' After all, the shortest cut for her to become an American is to marry an American. Robert Sweeney, for instance.
