EXPRESSES TO S75Q,N0 ARE UNC0NCERNED OVER UNEQUAL
 SPLIT OF LARGE LEGACY

NEW YORK, Jan. 25. - Because Celestina is the first grandchild to reach the age of twenty-one, she will inherit nearly all of a s750,OOO for tune that is increasing practically day by day.
 Because she is the first grandchiId to be named after her grandmother, who made a strange will 50 years ago, Maria will get but one-fifteenth of the wealth left by Mrs. Maria B. Fa- sola, a romantically inclined gentle woman, who died in Italy in 1876.
 Celestina and Maria are the daugh- ters of Dr. Ferdinand Fasola, importer. of Weehawken, New Jersey. They live in big old-fashioned, rambling house perched on the very edge of the Palisades, commanding view that must compare favorably with the vis- tas seen across Italian lakes. Ac- customed to plenty, the increase in their fortunes has not disturbed the young heiresses. So far they have no definite notions of just what they will do with it.
 Far From Money Mad
 We've known about the money for some time,",~ Celestina, the chief lega- tee, says calmly. She Is slim, dark, with smooth. wavy hair. slender fea- . lures and a flashing smiIe.~ She is proud that the Italian silk factories in which her fortune has been made. are busy manufacturing something beautifui-"spanish'' shawls. < T never thought much about she continues. I'm glad now that I will have 8 lot Tor I want to give some to charity. for tuberculosis aid. I'have had an interest in that since visited Lake Saranac.
 Perhaps I ought to say will travel all over. Yes, think I'd like to do that. But so far as money is con- cerned, have not thought about it for weeks. I might go abroad to school for a while"
 Celestina Fasola graduated from the Sacred Heart Convent and is interest ed in dress designing, though she doesn't intend to make any profess sional use of her talent.
 Maria, who is 16, plump and blonde. prefers snowshoes and skiing to the needle.
 'I would like to spend the winter up at Lake Placid. I love it; there the winters are gorgeous. Skiing is the best fun of all I love to jump off a high place. Once I nearly broke my neck!" she laughed breathlessly.
 Growth of Estate
 Celestina is to have controlling in terest in nine silk factories She will come into her fortune when she is twenty-five, meanwhile receiving the interest, amounting to $2S,0OO yearly Maria's annual income is $2,00O, or One-fifteenth of the estate
 Fifty years ago the estate was worth only $50 900. The accumulat- ing profits being untouched have grown to 15,OOO,OOO lire, at the pres ent rate of exchange about $75O00O.
 Isn't it wonderful" Celestna asks. They tell me I will be worth S3000,- poo yet if the rate of exchange keeps going up.
 "No; both my parents are not Ital- an. Mother is half French, half Ger nan, and dad is Italian. They both came from Europe, but we were born lere. The Doctor in my fathers lame means doctor of philosophy, not M D."
 Through arrangements made by Dr. Tasola his daughter Celestina holds l first mortgage on the silk factories LOW operated under the names of Fla ola Bianchini & Bernasconi. It will ,e payable in four years.
 The unequal division of the fortune Ioes not seem to bother either of Dr. Hasolas daughters, whose chief con erns are charity and skiing.
