ia paying visits 10 various society lead
ers who have been so favOrably taken
with the young American matrOn. Be-
fore the yachting season commenced the
GOClds made a long visit 10 IuChmSry,
Lord de Ia Wars place near Southamp-
ton, and since then Lady Mary Sack
Vile, his daughter, has been visiting
Mrs. Gould on the ATLANTA, and has
formed with Mr.. and Mrs. Gould and

MRS. GOULD AS A HOSTESS.
During visit TO Cowes, the writer,
who had the pleasure OF knowing Mrs.
George Gould In America, wrote 20 the
hostess of the magnificent yacht, Alta
--lauta, bailt originally by tie late Mr..
Jay Gould, aud on board Of which his
son George Gould AID bis family are
living during the lIcing season, not
only for comfort aud enjoyment, but
more particularly TO watch the dOings
Of his yacht, the VisiIant. In British
waters.
In the letter a request TO visit and
view the ATLANTA was preferred, and q
cordial Invitation TO come on board TO
tea was received 10 reply.
Punctually at 10 o'clock the steam
launch OF the ATLANTA, with her smart
crew dressed 10 their white duck uUi-
forms. came alongside the landing pier.

words, LET 60 fOr'ard" from the cox.

the yacht
Passing by yachts OF all kinds snd de-
scriptiOus, from mighty schooners, cut
ters aud steam yachts down to smart
little yawls and steam launches, the
latter flying here aud there like the
hanson cabs OF London, we were in
few minutes alongside the floating
bone OF the Gouds.
AS l mounted the gangway and ar.
lived on the other quarter deck
noticed Mrs. Gould sitting aft 10 big
steamer chair, book lying open in her
lap, aud on each side Of her, In sailor
--ostumes, two little lads, Kingdom and
jay, her sous. Mrs. Gould looked very
charming as she rose TO greet me, her
mobile face aud dark eyes and hair be-
ing set of 20 advantage by her white
yachting cap, with its gold-lettered rib
bon GROWING her ebOn tresseS. Her
dress, a smart red linen yachting one,
matching the cap ribbon, consisted OF
q MILDLY jacket, opening over black
silk blouse, with the private yacht flag
embroidered on 10, and being finished
with vest OF white and red military
braid. The skirt, cut very plain, match
ed the jacket, and was a good two inches
Of the deck, after the fashion OF the
smart river dresses this season.
The first thing that struck me was the
book she held In her hand. Instead OF
being the Heavenly Twins, " yellow
Aster," or other book OF that ilk, Il
turned out 10 be book of fairy legends
with which she had been entertaininR
what is easy to notice are the pride Of
her life, her children.
After a warm welcome from Mrs.
Gould I asked her II she would show me
round the Atalanta, which Yacht, by the
way, has been completely renOvateda
overhauled since Mr.. Gould bought the
Vigilant and decided 70 bring her and
the ATLANTA to England.
Leading the way from the deck TO
she port side, Mr.. Gould TOOK me into
the library and deck saloon, all done in
mahogany, richly carved, tapestry, and
yachting views. Rows upon rows Of
handsomely bound books, the works OF
standard authorsuailei the book cases,
