= ~ . - HIGH SOCIETY
An open, nasty warfare in high So
ciety circles is threatened over the
mysterious Worlds Fair fund of $751;
900, which. Harlow N. Higinbotham
and Mrs. Potter Palmer are quarrel
ing over.
Higinbotham now intimated he
may start suit to compel Mrs. Palmer
to Immediately take steps to put the
money to the purpose for which it
was gathered, namely "the perma-
nent betterment of women and chill
dren."
1t will be remembered that when
Potter Palmer died he left 100000
to which the $4,000 was to have
been added and that the whole
amount was to be used for the erec-
ton of a memorial building for wo-
men and children.
Mrs. Palmer claims that Mr.. Palm
er made it a condition that the build
ing should be on the lake front at
the foot of Randolph street and that
this was impossible through the ac-
ton of the Supreme Court.
Higinbotham in reply says this is
not so and that Palmer didn't care
where the building was erected, just
so it was put up.
But" adds Higinbotahm, eff Mrs.
Palmer is right and her late hus-
bands money can't be used, let her
say how much she'll subscribe and
We'll soon get the rest of the amount
