Not exactly-but her fortune is"
said the other.
Today at twenty-five the Duchess of
RoXburghe is in absolute possession of
$30,000,000 of New York real estate
One of her earliest suitors was the
Duke of Manchester. His engagement
was actually announced by the Lon
don Daily Telegraph Mr.. Ogden
Goelet, who was then alive, told a re-
porter that he could never allow his
daughter to marry a foreigner. 1t was
later learned that Miss Goelet had vol
UNFAIRLY declined the Duke. After that
he consoled himself for time with
journalism and next year eloped with
Miss Zimmerman of Cincinnati-a mar
riage which has turned out quite hap
PLY.
Miss Goelet had suitors in the highest
society of every European country.
There was Prince Henri of Orleans, by
far the most enterprising member. of
the dethroned royal family of France.
He thought that Miss Goelet's s30,000,-
900 would help the royalist cause, but
he sought it in vain. Then he tried
to win fame as an explorer and died
miserabIy in Tonkin.
The most illustrious of all by birth
was the Grand Duke Boris, first cousin
of the Car of Russia. When he was
staying with the Goelets at Newport
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish remarked that
Everybody knew he was there to mar
ry Miss Goelet and pay off his debts
A most interesting suitor in France
was the brilliant Paul Deschanel, now
President of the Chamber of Deputies
and regarded as the next President of
the republic. He needed a rich wife
badly in his political career, but he
failed to win Miss Goelet.
Jacques Lebaudy, who is as rich as
Miss Goelet, being the son of the great
est sugar refiner in France, has re-
Gently created himself Emperor of the
Sahara. Miss Goelet might have been
Empress.
In Italy an exalted suitor was the
Duke of Abruzzi, cousin of the King
of italy. When he found that there
was no hope for him he organized an
expedition to the North Pole and scored
the farthest North.

Miss May Goelet, the most courted
girl in the world and the richest girl in
her own right in America, will hence
forth be known as the Duchess of Rox-
burghe. The Duchess is worth in her
own right about 10000, coo.
1t is eight years since the courting of
Miss Goelet began. In that time the
twenty men who have been most
conspicuous among her suitors have all
had interesting Or remarkable adven
lures. Some have gone to war, some
have died, some have become famous.
The twenty were: The Duke of Rox-
burghe, the Grand Duke Boris of Rus
sia, Prince Francis of Teck, the Prince
Henri, of Orleans, Prince Hugo of Ho-
henlohe, the Prince of Sagan, the Duke
of AbruZzi, the Duke of Manchester,
the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Ingestre,
Lord Dalmeny, the Hon. Lionel Roths-
child, Captain Oswald Ames, Henry
Cavendish, Lord Crichton, Paul Des-
chanel, Santos Dumont, Signor Marco
nj, Jasques Lebaudy and Craig Wads-
worth.
Among them they possessed $751; 000,-
900, this sum being divided among
twelve, of them, while the rest were
virtually penniless. These twelve had
fourteen splendid castles, palaces and
villas in England, France and Ger
many.
Eight years ago when this universal
international courtship began Miss
Goelet was only seventeen years old.
But with social talents and cleverness
inherited from a mother of the noted
r. T. Wilson family, and a perfect
education, she took a leading place in
society at once. The occasion on
which she first attracted the attention
of American society was at the we'd
ding of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt to the
Duke of Marlborough in 1895, when she
was bridesmaid.
The new Duchess is slight, dark and
very attractive. 1t is an exaggeration
to say that she is strikingly handsome,
as many have done. Two cynical So
ciety men were discussing the point,
and one of them said:
Would you call her face handsome"

DOUBLING GAP,
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Pa,
July II, 1903.
The opening day of this old and famous
resort was one well worth remembering
by the many patrons who arrived here for
the season on July l. 1903.
For over one hundred years Doubling
Gap has been famous for its mineral
springs-sulphur, iron, magnesia and lthia
The resort had hotel as early as 1900
and from that time to the present. during
many changes and improvements. the Dor
tails of the Doubling Gap Springs Hotel
have never been closed during an entire
season.
At this time of the year. and, in fact
throughout the summer. the climate here
is always dry, cool and bracing and withaI
thoroughly delightful.
There has been lack of gayety since
the opening of the season and the great
number of incoming guests promises to
keep the wheels of social diversion rolling
and spinning gayly until the autumnal
tints appear on the mountain tops
Mountain climbing appears to be the fad
with the guests here this season, while
boating, tennis and bowling are not neg
lected by many who love milder recrea lions
including dancing, cards, pool and bill
lizards, concerts, private theatricals and
many other amusements offered by the
management entirely free Of charge to its
guests.

July, proves an attraction this season also,
and talk of a bowling tournament Is hearu
already, as some fine scores have been
made on the new and especially good al
leys. AS yet card parties have taken the
lead of other entertainments. Bridge is
especially the rage and promises to out
class other games.
Mrs. F. 2. B. Sands of Washington gave
a delightful bridge party at her cottage
Wednesday afternoon, in honor of her SIS
ter, Mrs James c. Bergen of New York,
who is here for July. Mrs. Walter Still
son Hutchins won the first prize and Mrs
j. R. Thomas of Charleston captured the
second honor. Miss Sands is one of the
be lies here this season
Judge and Mrs. Roger y. Pryor of New
York are here. Judge Pryor is always
conspicuous figure. This year, unfortu-
nately his health is not good, therefore
Mrs Pryor will not take an active part
in the social life, which in former years
owed great deal to her leadership. How
ever, their cottage will always be the gath
ering place for the most prominent and
distinguished people here.

to join her father. Gen. Whitsde, U. S. A.,
