Chicago. leads Miss Frances Alger to
the altar in the fall. it viii be a union OF
brains and beauty and the means of
bringing together in close relationship
two of the best known and most in

ersetic and wealthy citizens. Miss
Frances Alger is the youngest daughter

act date Of the marriage festivities has
