WOOLWORTH FORTUNE
HEIRS PROMINENT IN NEWS.
A BROKEN ENGAGEMENT.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) New York, January 8.
Tlie two heirs to the Woolworth five and ten-cent. store millions figure sensationally in the news to-day. Princess Alexis Mdivani, formerly Miss Barbara Hutton, arrived in California on a round-the-world honeymoon, but without her -titled husband, who avoided the State, apparently to keep from accepting a subpoena awaiting him to testify at the trials of his brothers, Princes David and Serge Mdivani, for alleged petroleum frauds. It is rumoured that he has gone to British Columbia and expects to rejoin his wife at Honolulu. Meanwhile, in New York it is reported that the engagement of Woolworth Donahue, Princess Mdivani s cousin, to Miss Dorothy Fell, a stepdaughter of Mr Ogden Mills, a former Secretary of the Treasury in the United States, has been broken off. Both families refuse to confirm or deny the rumour, but society' circles declare that the wedding has definitely been cancelled.
