Special Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, March 4—From time im- memorial. the right man at the right time and place has told the right girl that she looked like and was worth anything from a milllon dol- lars up. Certainly a lot of them meant it—at the time of saying it— and doubtless, a few, what with spring coming on and everything, who would dispute the assertion that is to follow. it is true, nevertheless, so far as in- trinsic values are concerned. There is only one woman in the world today whose life actually and intrinsically is worth $3,000,000. She lives here in Chicago, and she is the | owner and directing head of one of the city's biggest department stores. She is Mrs, Mollie Netcher Newbury. Documents have just been signed making Mrs. ewbury the most heavily insu voman in the world. To the $1,200,000 insurance she has been carrying she has added $1,800,- 000.

That is, unless you saw her at a directors’ meeting, as the writer {d. Then she is all business. There is but .one thing that can tempt her from business cares, and that is opera. She just can't, to use her own words, concentrate on business when her favorite opera is scheduled for a matinee. Three Sons in Firm. Mrs. Newbury's three boys are all members of the firm, but any one in the store will tell you they don’t hold their jobs just because they are mamma's boys. But It's funny—>Mrs, Newbury prob- ably would cut off her right hand before she would let her daughter work in the store. A department store offers a great chance for a girl | with a purpose in her heart—Mrs. Newbury will concede that. But she says she wants her daughter to de- vote her time to domestic affairs and to those public affairs for which she leisure.
