stated that Miss Wren was the first
woman to be named as a receiver
Whether this is true or not, it is a fact
that women receivers are very scarce.
Miss Wren is twenty-six years of age
and is a licensed attorney, and that is
more than Shakespeare's Portia could
claim. The Brooklyn lady has her
own office and is proficient in all mat
tiers pertaining to litigation. She grad
uated with honors year ago from
the Brooklyn Law school. after she
had read in the Offices of several
Brooklyn lawyers. She is the daugh-
ter of the late DR.. William G. Wren
She is tall and statuesque and has an
attractive personality. Lawyers have
a superstition that their first fee is
indicative of what they are to receive
later on in their practice. Miss Wren
is not superstitious, but she has
sense of humor. If she were other
wise she would probably hesitate about
her future success SO far as fees are
concerned, for it is told OF her that her
first retainer was SIS from a colored
bootblack Who'll used to have a stand
at the city hallEbuilding in Brooklyn.
The most beautiful woman of the
foreign colony in London is Nine. Co
varrubias, wife of the Mexican minis

were accorded the Warmest welcome
They were present at all the smartest
functions given by various hostesses
for the king and queen.

lied therefrom nearly a million and
half of dollars. They had differences
and separated A divorce followed.
The woman married again and died in
poverty.

Margaret Haugherty, the baker phi
lanthropist, who left fortune for the
