family Is looming up in the theatrical line.
One would naturally think that Jay Gould
knew nothing Of such things, but he Is said
to have made the discovery on prowling
through the Grand Opera House that there
was no green room. A theater, he said,
without green room was no theatet. His
son, George Gould, is going to attend alterL-
tons In the Grand Opera House, and Il has
with MIR. Abbey in the management Of the
house. Mr.. Abbey denies this:
Young Gould is becoming quite man
about town, and may be seen at boxing.
matches and similar places OF amusement.
His tastes are so strong in this direction
that he is under instructions OF profess
sional pngilist, Billy Madden, Sullivans
trainer, in the manly art OF seif-defense.
This may not be altogether matter OF
taste, US his fathers misfortuhes may have
suggested it as wise precautiou. This ex.
pert does double duty. Besides instruct.
ing young Gould in his art, he shadows
Jay Gould himself, and the man who
would attempt to waylay the railroad mag
nate would fall into horny hands. This
nervousness on the part Of Mr.. Gould dates
from the time Major Selover avenged him
self by picking him up and throwing him
over the railing in front OF u barber shop.
He has not yet recovered from the fright,
although he and Mr.. Selover were friends
again within year.
As was passing DetmoniCo's yesterday,
| saw man sauntering out OF the door.
He picked his teeth with gold tooth-pick,
and surveyed his surroundings with an air
OF superiority. This superior creature is
known as NJ. lie Marquis DeI.enville. He
is rather stoutly built and has a shaggy
black beard parted in the middle. His
clothes are elegant, but he wears them in
careless, easy fashion. But the most strik-
ing part OF his dress was an insignia OF rank
that flashed from his cravat. People are
beginning to ask who is this Marquis De-
Lenville and the suspicion is arising that
he is not Il real Marquis ut all. He came
here some months since, and his title
opened for him the doors OF some OF the
clubs. 1t is habit to talk English with
strong sErench accent, but at recent club
dinner he is said to have ast0nished his
companions, after emptying several glasses
oi wine, by talking Anglo-Saxon huently.
Perhaps this was an instance where "wine
worked wonders" About all of his history
that has been divulged is that he was
known about London and Paris for several
years.
Speaking OF foreigners Of rank reminds
me OF Count once knew, His atIable
way and accomplishments won him many

Miss Mather, who is training for the
stage, and who is going to plunge into the
middle OF dramatic art at Chicago next
August rs Juliet, is going TO excite the
envy OF all women by the elegance OF her
costume. This handsome garment, which
is now at n Broadway shop, would OF itself
be a sensation on the stage. 1t was made
for tho young dsbutHRie and has romance
connected with it that attaches still more
interest to it. A few months ago n young
and beautiful Spanish woman became en-
gagged TO rich nobteman living in Madrid.
The young wOman's family sent to Paris
for rich and elaborate BRIDAL trousseau.
1t was made almost without regard to
money, but there was IA slip between the
cup and the lip" One version is that the
young lady was overtakcn by some sorrow
and the trousseau left to be sold. Some of
the reception costumes fell to Sarah
Bernhardt, being narrowed down to her
supple figure. The bridal dress, the most
magnificent oil all, has fallen to Miss Mather
1t is OF cream white satin, and from the
waist to the hem is 4 mass OF exquisite EN-.
hroidery. The train is seventy-two inches
long. There are successive rows OF shells
made oil silk and graduated pears and other
rows OF coral branches, OF chenille and
satin, beads and roses and jessamine bios.

will wear the costume as ball dress in the

there ought to be magnificent Juliet.
