Countess Becomes Wife of Untitled American CUPID UPSETS CUSTOM LONDON, Dec.

Mr. Short, who has no title except a college degree from Hamilton and whose career as an architect In Boston has only just begun, : is greatly admired for his distinguished manners and manly mind. Peers hobnob with the young American as genlaJly as if his fathers had been with Richard Coeur DeLion in the Crusades, instead of helping to make Cincinnati famous.
