"Chicago's most democratic girl, noted for charity and war work, to wed. Miss Lolita Armour and John J. Mitchell Jr. Whose engagement was announced last night. Announcement was made last night of the engagement of Liolita Armour, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, to John J. Mitchell Jr. Son of the chairman of the boards of directors of three of Chicago's largest banks. Both are leaders among the younger set. Miss Armour is the heiress to a fortune which is conservatively estimated at $60,000,000. But a large part of which undoubtedly will go to the development of her father's and grandfather's pet project, the Armour Institute, of which Miss Armour herself has been a director for the last three years. Young Mitchell will share in a fortune conservatively estimated at $10,000,000."
