MADE by easy stages. IL was Ino Az
tention Of the contracting parties, at
the time formal announcement Of the
engagement was made In January last,
to have the marriage ceremony cele-
brated IN April, and all arrangements
were made to that effect, but these
have now been Cancelled and no new
date will be named until Mrs. Pullman
reaches home.
Miss Florence Pullman, the bride-to-
be, Is about twenty-eight years old and
Is the favorite child Of George M, Pull
man, of sleeping car fame. There are
three other children, one Of them being
Mrs. Frank Carolan, whose beautiful
home at Burlingame, near San Francis
co, is one Of the attractions Of the Paci-
fic coast. The others are the twin
boys, Sanger and George M. Pullman,
Jr. Sanger Pullman Is learning the
dry goods business with Marshall Field
& Co., and Is said to be engaged, II
the gossips may be believed, to Miss
McMurray, daughter Of Ex-Sherin
McMurray, Of New York. George M.
Pullman, Jr., is at Cornell, and expects
to graduate next year, shortly after
which Miss Felicity Oglesby will be-
come his wife. Mr.. Pullman has been
liberal with all his children, but u Is
upon Miss Florence, the eldest daugh-

ton. He is worth, at a conservative
estimate, from $25,OOO,OO to $3O,OOO,0 900
ON dividend paying basis, all Of which
is pretty sure to be some day divided
among the four children. Besides this
snug little prospective fortune Of ST.
100000 each, Mr.. Pullman has already
given his sons and daughters healthy
start in life, each child on attaining its
twenty-flrst year being presented with
100000 in good, solid bank stock, from

to defray all their personal expenses.

blonde nor the brunette order, but has

low sort Of a girl. She is In every de-
tail, by education and instinct, a fam
lily girl. Thoroughly we'll informed IN
household affairs and competent tt

Miss Pullman has all the graces ant
accomplishments Of society leader
although she has never cared to pose
as such and takes but little part In So

under the best home teachers Miss Pull

some years ago under the chaperonag'
of Mrs. John A. Logan to complete theil
studies, and remained away I'M
