Bradley, he said:

Washington, D. c., Nov. 20.-Mr.

nounce the engagement of their daugh-
ter, Theodore to Due de Chauines ct
De Piequiny Of France, the wedding
to take place at their New York home
in January. The due is now In New
York, where he has been since the
arrival of Mrs Shonts and her daugh-
tiers from Europe several weeks ago,
but will sail for France on Thursday
The engagement Of Miss Shonts and
the due has long been expected and
Is not surprise to either society in
this country or in Europe. The per-
sistent courtship OF the due covers a
space of over eighteen months and
has been most fervent.
He met Miss Shonts in Paris and
fell in love with her shortly after
her presentation at the court of King
Edward Her beauty and youth ex-
cited admiration in Paris, where she
went with her mother after leaving
London, and the due was the first to
become her follower.
Many Rumors and Denials.
1t was during the trip of the family
in Europe that the reports of the en-
SoSClllCnI Ol MlSS lutOuOTld 10 CuC
due first gained circulation. The ru-
mors were denied emphatically by the
girls parents at the time, but again
became frequent when the due visited
at the Shonts home in Washington

from Mr.. Shonts, but the rumors have
cropped out from time to time ever
since. the denials being just as fire.
quent.
Washington's society fully expected
to hear the definite announcement
made during the dues visit here, and
Its failure to materialize was the
cause Of much disappointment The
cause OF the delay in the young cou-
ple's plans, it is thought here, was
due to the opposition to the match on
the part Of Mr.. Shonts, who desired
that his daughter should become the
wife of some young American.
Family Of Ancient Nobility.
The due comes from the Oldest of
French nobility and is possessed of
vast estates, though they are said to
be embarrassed with depts. The sis
ter of due de Chauines, duchess
Dues, Is close friend of Mrs.
Shonts and was to have accompanied
her brother here upon his visit last
winter, but illness prevented. She
and duke d'Uzes will come to the we'd
