man, Jr. After the latterS death she
married Jones Wister, a member of the
most exclusive social set in phiauel-
pha. Her maiden name was Sabina
uInvi!lierS, and she is descended from
a French family Of noble rank promi-
nent in the time Of Louis XVI. the chief
representative of which left his native
land at the time of the French revolu-
ton and, coming to America, settled
in Philadelphia
Mrs. Wister is proud of her blue
blood and has always moved in social
circles which the rest Of the Weight
mans, with all their wealth, We're I'M
able to enter After her marriage to
Mr. Wister her social prominence be-
came all the more marked. This was
one cause of alienation between Mrs
Wister and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Wal
ker, who was unable to make a social
hit Another cause was due to q pc
culiar incident in the history Of the
family. The elder Weightman was al
ways very fond Of Mrs. William
Weightman, Jr., and after his sons
death he made a proposal of mar
riage to her She held him in esteem
but, as he was then eighty years of
age. she deemed his offer of marriage
absurd and rejected it. The old gen
tleman felt piQue:!, and, though she
afterward sought and secured his con-
sent to her marriage to Mr.. Wister,
he never again was on close terms
with her, and it is alleged that Mrs.
Walker encouraged her father to give
Mrs. N'ister the cold shoulder.
However, it is asserted that on the
latter's second marriage the elder
Weightman not only set aside $780,
600 in trust for each Of William
Weightman, Jr.'s, five daughters, but
promised that in his will each would
receive million. The will he subse-
quently executed made no such pro
vision for them, and their mother de-
cided to contest it on the ground of
undue influence, representing in the
suit her daughter Martha. who is still
ii minor Some of her other daughters
do not favor the contest.
