ment makes an appropriation next

set In Philadelphia, and Il was through
Mrs. Wister's opposition and enmfty that
she failed. After she had won the will
suit, Mrs. Walker sold her palatial home
in Philadelphia's fashionable residence
quarter to a commercial concern which
used II as an Office. 1t was the revenge
she took against society for its neglect Of
her.
Mrs. Walkers next move startled So
ciety, her relatives and the world In
general. She did not announce It publicly,
but It became known she had made ar
rangements to divide among her relatives
half of the $4,000, 900 her father had left
her. Mrs. Walker went about the thing
quietly and it is not known to this day just
how many relatives she remembered or
how much she gave TO each. 1t is generally
understood, however, that she divided $780,
100000 into eleven parts. Mrs. Wister was
one Of the benefciaries.
II was only q few days after Mrs.
Walkers generous intentions became
known that the possible cause of It was
announced to the world. Mrs. Walker was
to marry the famous Frederick Courtland
Penfeld, of New Fork City. That was in
1906. Mr.. Penf1eld was a widower at the
time and 80 years old. He was once vice .
consul general at London, diplomatic agent
and consul general to Egypt with the rank
