And his language was rather vigorous, too, as he climbed off the Panama boat "Yeit, Miss Shunts is an American girl, and she has good American horse sense, so 1 think there need be no alarm.” said Mr. Shohts when asked If he thought there was a possibility that his daughter. Theodora, would be- cotne the bride of the duke of Chauitet and Picqulgny, as it had been reported she would do. Continued Mr. Shunts: "The reported engagement Is untrue. Both tny daughters are scarcely out of school, and will not make their formal debut in society until December IS, when we open our new home In New Hampshire avenue In Washington. The girls nre grent friends of the duke's family, and that may have been the foundation for the report of the en gagement.” GEE! 7 HIS BABY IF AS SWELL!
