ROMANTIC WEDDING.
A Former Carroll Countian to Wed
Daughter of the Late Cyrus Field, Jr.

Mrs. Cyrus w. Field, Jr., of New York,
has announced the engagement of her daugh-
ter, Miss Mary Stone Field, TO DR.. Harry S.
Pfeiffer, of Stamford, CT, former Balti-
MORGAN. The marriage will take place Feb
ruary 26 at the home of the bride, As Fifth
avenue, New York.
In the above notice there is no hint of the
charming romantic story which surrounded
the meeting of The granddaugh liter of the man
who laid the first Atlantic cable and her future
husband.
The young woman and her mother are nat
urally retcent concerning the matter, and DR..
Pfeiffer has taken but few into his confidence
He is son of the late John F. Pfeiffer, who
was well known in commercial circles OF Bal
timore, whose home was at Manchester, a few
miles from this city. In that town DR.. Pfeif-
fer was reared, and it was there he received
the foundation for medical career which
caused him to enter the University of Mary
land School of Medicine, from where he was
graduated in 1898.
Two years ago he went to Stanford Ct, as
assistant to DR.. Frank C. Barnes, of Grey
Towers Sanitarium, and was soon favorite
with attendants and patients alike.
Miss Field was educated partly at fash
ionable school in New York and abroad and
grew to young womanhood at Brunswick,
Germany. where her father was consul. She
is an accomplished horsewoman and linguist.
When introduced into society in New York
and London two years ago she created a sen
sation by her beauty and charming grace.
Her debut in New York occurred at recep-
ton given at the Waldorf. Astoria by her
mother, and she made her entry into the fash
ionable world of London under the guidance
of her greataunt, Lady Musgrave, wife of the
former governor of Jamaica. She is but 81
years of age, and after two seasons at home
and abroad returned to New York last Octo-
Der with her mother, much overtaxed. Rest
being ordered, she sought the quietness of
Grey Towers Sanitarium little suspecting that
Cupid would be found at the head of the med
ca corps, and his messenger would be the
handsome and athletic physician from Mary
land.
Grey Towers is large estate near SIAM
ford, CT. 1t is dotted with cottages. in which
patients may live singly or in suite. Miss
Field and her mother soon after their arrival,
were ntrusted to the care of DR.. Pfeiffer, who
is an expert in the treatment of nervous dis
eases. 1t was soon noticed that he took more
than a professional interest in his charming
patient As both are fond of riding, driving
and walking they made frequent tours of the
surrounding territory together. Soon the re.
latons of physician and patient disappeared
and Cupid became the patient.
After frequent visits to New York, DIR.
Pfeiffer arranged for the purchase of the san
itarium and began the construction OF a new
cottage, where it is said he will make his
home, as Miss Field desires to assist in the
work. With her mother, she returned to
Grey Towers last week and will remain there
until nearly time for the marriage.
Mrs Lucinda r. Pfeiffer, mother of the
groom to- be, will go to Connecticut from her
home in Manchester, to be present at the GER
emory.
