The laces were rare antique specimens, bought at fabulous prices during her European travels, There had been much talk about the costly gowns to be worn by Chicago women on the occasion.

She said at the time: Il have seen little of the girl, but she has impressed me as being of sweet, lov- able disposition; just the kind of a young woman I wo,.ld like to claim as a daughter
