Barbara Quits Another Title
London, July 20. The bitter marital troubles of Count and Countess Haugwitz-Reventlow end amicably with a deed of separation ahead of a Danish divorce. The countess, Barbara Hutton, heiress to the Woolworth fortune, settles an undisclosed sum for their two year old son Lance. The count waives any share of her fortune and gains parental rights while the mother retains care for most of the year. The dispute followed a Bow Street hearing where he allegedly demanded 5 million dollars for a divorce, and a 250 thousand dollar gift was rejected. This marks her second marriage failure among nobility after former husband Prince Alexis Mdivani. }
