DANNER DECLARES HE'S HER HUSBAND ‘The foreign colony wae given a real sensation the following day when Paul R. Danner, @ young American business man of Shang nal, declared publicly that he was Misa Baronti's husband. “We had a little domestic differ ence,” Danner said. “She went to the Astor house. I took quarters downtown. This I regarded as a passing incident and expected to take a house soon. I am utterly at a loss to explain this new situa tion.” Danner said that he and has wife had come to Shanghai in October, 1919, after two years’ stay in India. He said they were married in Town send, Mass., tn 1917, But Gerve Baronti utterly dis credits Danner’s story. “There never was much a wed ding.” she declared. “it was a sham —all a sham!” Rev.

Boston literary folk were not sur- prised. Gerve Baronti has furnished them with studio gossip from the moment she flashed across the lit. erary horizon just previous to Amer- ica’s entrance into the world war. Miss Baronti’s first book of verse, “The Red Laugh,” aroused a storm of disapproval from patriotic per. sons. ’ At the Fabtan club, where Boston's liberals gather, she was known to | be opposed to conventional marriage as “stifling.” In her play, “A Modern Phenix,” the next of her published works, one of her characters saya: “I think duty is the terrible thing.” And in another place: “I hate to think of growing up to be a nice person. I am thinking of all the nice persons I know. They don’t seem to be happy. |1 hate the word duty—it stifles me |and makes me want to scream.” | DANNER’S FAMILY OPPOSED TO MATCH Soon it became known that Mins Baronti had eloped with Danner to Townsend. Danner’s family bitterly opposed the match. ‘The severe winter and her Iterary work broke down Mrs. Danner’s health. Doctors told her that she must seek a warmer climate and ase all work Danner was discharged from the army because of his wife's depen dency, given a job in India by an American typewriter company, and the couple sailed im haste for the Far Kast.
