The Goulds' Social Tastes.

The Goulds themselves are people OF the
least possible social pretentiousness. No
doubt Mr. Jay Gould's business affairs rem
der social secretiveness a policy with him, but
he, at any rate, was never man to hunger
for notoriety In fashionable sense He is
victim to his nerves, too, and people who
have been close in their intimacy with him
tell me that he feels his unpopularity keenly,
and this, no doubt, adds to his desire for re-
tirement His children are chips of the old
block. The sons have the tastes and char
acteristics of the father in a marked degree.
The business of money getting is their great
est pleasure The daughter repeats, am as
sured by friends of the family, the amiable
and admirable traits of the mother AL
though they live in abundant luxury. the
Goulds make very little show about it, His
steam yacht and conservatory are jay Gould's
sole extravagances, He buys pictures which
be does not look at and books which he does
not read, as part of the paraphernaia of a
rich mans house Business is business with
him, first, last and every time, and his two
sons have already shown the bent of their
tastes IN the same direction ALFRED Trum-
