has been to the expense of a voyage across
the ocean and had his trouble for his
pains.
At various times it has been announced
that Miss Pullman had become engaged

cunious suitors, but the reports have all
proved false. Three years ago it was stated
that she was to marry Prince Leopold Won

was entertained at the Pullman home.
It was also understood, too, that he did
propose to Miss Florence, but If he did she

since.
