The bride to-be is the daughter of the multi- millionaire and railroad magnate F. M. Hubbell, of this city, and is the great-granddaughter of James Fenimore Cooper, America’s first novelist.
Miss Hubbell has travelled extensively in Europe, and last year was presented at court by Mrs. Hay.

Since his arrival in America five years ago he has occupied the position of secretary to the Swedish-Norwegian consulate in Chicago.
