DAUGHTER OF SHUNTS IS TO MARRY AGAIN

Duchesse de Chaulnes Reported Engaged to Prince Murat Paris, July 16.—A report that the Duchesse de Chaulnes, formerly Miss Theodora Shonts of Chicago, whose husband died April 24, 1908, is secretly

engaged to Prince Joachim Murat, one of the most eligible of the young beaux of Paris, is being circulated here. The Due de Chaulnes was found dead in his bed. After the death of her husband the duchesse was reported to contemplate returning to her native land, but later this was denied, as she desired that the birth of her child and heir to the title should take place in France. She gave birth to a son Nov. 17, 1908. Young Joachim Napoleon Michel Murat prince of Ponte-Corvo, born in Paris in 1885, is the great-great-grand-son of two of the first Napoleon’* famous marshals.
