Manufacturing builds up a country,

Prince Henry's visit to Boston has
revived interestin Boston woman who
is he possessor of the Iron Cross. This
is one of the highest honors that can
be bestowed by the German Crown,
and the cross was pinned on Nine. Won
Olenhausen by Prince Henry's grand
father, the old Emperor william. in
gratitude for her services to his army
during the Franco-Prussian war.
The Baroness Won Olenhausen is a
Massachusetts, woman, and many years
ago, while employed as a designer
by New England factory, met there
a young German chemist of noble
birth but small means. 1t was a case
of love at first sight" and the two
were soon married. The baron died
at the beginning of the Civil War,
volunteered as nurse, and worked
with Dorothy Dix until the war was
over.
When the Franco-Prussian war
broke out the baroness felt 1t to be her
duty to help her husbands country
as she had helped her own. She sue
succeeded in reaching Germany and in
having her offer. of service accepted,
and remained with the Prussian army
until peace was re-esablished.
So marked and even sensational was
the little Americans help to wounded
soldiers under conditions of the great
est personal danger, that she became
a favorite theme of conversation among
officers and men. Her fame reached
the ears of the Emperor himself and
when, at last, after the seige of Or
leans, he found that she was at little
hospital near, he went to visit 1t and to
bestow on her the Iron Cross, to whose
wearer every regiment in Germany
gives the salute of honor.
On one occasion she was without
food for two days, while caring for
a band of sixteen wounded soldiers.
When the Emperor heard later and
fuller accounts of Nm. Won Olen.
hausen's courage and devotion she had
returned to America. but he wrote her
a letter that she still prizes. thanking
her for her noble work and saying
that he sent the Cross of Merit as a re.
memberance. The cross was lost on
the journey. but the baroness still
wears the Iron Cross.
She has always retained her love for
art, and has a pretty studio in Boston.
