10 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. . C., TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1921 MRS. PULLMAN DIES INPASADENA HOTEL Ex-Gov. and Mrs. Lowden With Her—Chicago So- ciety Leader. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif., March 29.—Mrs. Harriet Sanger Pullman, widow of George M. Pullman, inventor of the Pullman car, died here yesterday after 8 brief illness. She was seventy-nine years of age. Her son-in-law and daughter, former Gov. and Mrs. Frank O. Lowden of 1ilinois, were with her when death came. With her son-in-law and daughter and their four children, Mrs. Pullman came here early in the winter. About a week ago she was stricken with pneumonia. Her advanced age made the fizht against the attack difficult. Her condition rapidly became worse. Death came during the afternoon in a ! hotel. where she and her relatives had apartments. Leader in Chicago Soclety. ° CHICAGO, March 29.—Mrs. George M. Pullman for years had been a lead- er of Chicago's most exclusive social set. She devoted her time in almost equal measure to travel, social affairs and charities. As Miss Harriet Sanger of Chicago, | she married George M. Pullman, in- ventor of the Pullman Sleening coach, | in 1867. Mr. Puglman died in Mrs. Pullman’s charjtable efforts ce: tered largely about the destitute chil- dren of Chicago. She also ested keenly in hospital work and de- voted considerable time to war relief measures. Two children, Mrs. Frank O. Lowden, wife of the former Governor of Illinois, and Mrs. Hattie Carolan. survive Mrs. Pullman. Two other children, Sanger and George M. Pullman, jr., died sev- eral years ago. ., Mrs. Pullman spent most of her time in Chicago. She had a beautiful sum- mer home at Elberon, N. J., and until a few years ago a mansion at Washing- ton, D. C. She sold her Washington house in 1913 to John Hays Hammond for $300.000. Built Present Hammond Home. Mrs. Pullman was a former resident of Washington and had a wide ac- quaintance here socially. The Russian embassy building, at 1125 16th street northwest, was erected by Mrs. Pullman and sold by her several years ago to Mrs. John Hays Hammond.

And, by-the-way, these models are not professional beauties that one gener- ally sees, but just plain, everyday look- ing women, like you or me. The one I saw looked just a bit hopeless at first, and a very stout woman sitting near me said: “Well, if she can do anything with THAT figure, I guess she can help me!” * Well, she (Madame Miller) did do something with that figure! * - First, she put it into the right kind of corset. Not so tight that rolls of flesh fell over the top, but comfortably fitted to confine the flesh and actually bring out good lines that no one sus- pected the woman had. Next, she explained about undergar- ments, and how the Sveltline garments are so easily adjusted to fit comfort- ably. Then the model donned—what do you think? A full pleated skirt—a regular sports skirt! And looked fine in it, too, for the fullness was so ad- justed that the model actually looked slender. Next came a stunning one-piece dress, the kind any woman wouk’i, want to wear. Then a long,.“wrappy cape, with flowing draperies where the sleeves might have been, and a garceful scarf to wrap about the throat. * A tailored suit came next—not the “straight coat that looks best on a big woman,” but a really, truly, BOX COAT. And, will you believe it, the BOX COAT made that woman look slender. It hid her bad lines and brought out every good point of her figure, and when Madame Miller shortened the skirt to a length that every stout woman thinks she “wouldn’t be caught dead in”—why, vou would never have recognized that hopeless-looking woman whom you first saw. * The biggest woman in the room was convinced, and converted, and the last 1 saw of her she was in earrest con- versation with Madame Miller and looked as if she had found the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end. * 1 believe that Madame Miller can do just as much for you. At least, I know that she will be glad to have you discuss your problems with her, for she told as much to P.
