Miss Marion Doering, of Chicago, Bound to Wed Chauncey McCormick—Harvester Families. Chicago, June 23.—Another Chicago heiress has defied the “king” and will marry the man of her choice. She is Miss Marion Deering, one of the famous beautiful Deering twins and favorite niece of James Deering, the harvester manufacturer. It was learned today that McCormick had gone to Europe to snatch his bride from under the very nose Of her unwilling parent. Close friends of the two families said they expected the wedding ceremony .to take plaice in Paris within a few days, if it had not already been performed.. The Deering-McOormiick romance began shortly after Miss Deering made her debut. Trying to thiwart it, her father carried her on extended tours through Europe. But McCormick was persistent and trailed in pursuit, sometimes near enough to carry on his wooing in person. Miss Deering’s father objected to the match, it is said, because he did not believe McCormick book as serious a view oif life as he should. To prove hiis worth young McCormack donned overalls and went to work in the harvester shops. He went to live at Hull House. The Deerings moved to New York, however, and took their daughter with them.
