regarding the children about to be
married as minors in such a matter -
How is the contract generally
worGed?"
THAT is a difficult question to an
swer. 1t generally opens by saying
something like Before me personally
appeared on such and such day the
parents and guardians of Sylvia Smith
and Frederick Gregg, who agree to
the terms of this ante-nuptial con-
tract Then follows the first clause.
so and SO agree, etc. and the second
and the third clauses, until the first
of the parties concerned get through
with their agreements, and then come
the clauses in which And further. SO
and so agree, etc. until the whole
thing is settled, after which they all
sign their names and look happy and
shake hands all around, and the notary
goes out and buys himself something
to eat. The parents of the girl put
their contract in their strong box. and
Frederick puts his away and tends
1t carefully. In this instance, 1 sup

as witness for Count Castellane.

just how the contract will be worGed. .
The signing of the contract will take

a notary public, and he takes their
signatures to the contract and puts
his signature to it, and certifies that
the contracting parties have SO agreed
as contained in the contract. He then
puts his seal on the paper and gives
each party to the contract a copy of
it,"
what lis Ia contract like? Is it
simple or complicated?'
THAT all depends. Sometimes it is
very short and simple. At other times.
when the interests and estates are
great, the contract is very long and
complicated. do not imagine that

of Fifth avenue and SiXty-seventh
street is where the bridal couple will
stand to be united. The dining. room,
the last Of the connecting suite, is
sunny and pleasant. In this room or
the billiard room will be served the
wedding breakfast. An altar will be
erected in the alcove for the use of
the archbishop. The bridal procession
will form on the second floor. Count
de Castellane will descend alone to
the drawing room Then will come
the ushers: next the bride, on the
arm of her brother George Could
attended by Masters Jay and Kingdom
Gould, who will carry the train of the
bridal robe. The bridemaids are next
in order. Mrs. George Gould, with her
guests and mother, and other members
of the family, will follow. The pro-
cessioG will pass through the music
room into the drawing room, and
group themselves about the canopied
alcove. The floral decorations are pro-
fuse. The library will be trimmed in
SmilaX, with pink and white roses.
The hand rail and wainscoting will
be covered in smilaX and palm leaves,
as the background for garlands of
pink and white roses, and white lilies
will be used as well. Ropes of snlilax
and sprays of asparagus plumosa will
depend from the dome, reaching to the
main. Orchids and Roman hya-
cinths will be used throughout in
decorations. AT the east end of the
main hall a mound of flowers and foli-
age eight or ten feet high will stand.
The Moorish parlor will be a perfect
bower of lilies of the valley. American
beauty roses will lend color to the
garlands of green about the entrances.

terday afternoon, and as the gentleman
who was speaking was prominent and
well known, he had in very few sec
onds charmed little court of his own,
and the marriage between Miss Gould
and Mr.. Castellane was handled with
out gloves from legal point of view.
when does this contract have to
be made out?" asked one.
oh" replied the speaker, cat any
time before the marriage. They might
sign it day or a week or a month or
an hour before the ring is brought
into play"
do you think that the Goulds and
this young man will go through the
formality of such a contract?''
my Christian friend, the Goulds are
business people. George Gould is not
looking for trouble, and you can rest
assured that just what his sister is to
give for her title and just what she is
to get for her money will be in black
and white, sealed and signed before
the marriage comes off, if, indeed, such
thing has not already been DONE
''But why should such a contract be
made, and what is the idea of it?'
= For these reasons: II the contract
was not made out Count Castellane by
the law would become possessor of all

NEW YORK, March AT a
luncheon given by Miss Anna Gould
yesterday as a sort of farewell to
her girl friends she entertained her
bridesmaids, the Misses Adelaide
Montgomery, Beatrice Richardson,
Kittie Cameron and her sister Helen,
besides half dozen others. The
question of a civil marriage has now
been definitely settled. From the
beginning it was nothing but idle
gossip. The only ceremony will be
the one performed by Archbishop
Corrigan. 1t was learned that Mayor
Strong will positively be present at
the wedding, but not to preside at
any civil ceremonial before or after.
He will, however, sign or attest the
certificate given by the archbishop
certifying he was present. When

THE ante-nuptial contract of Miss
Annie Gould and the Count Castellane,"
said well-known lawyer yesterday,
If 1 understand the marriage laws of
F'rance-which, if I am permitted. I
might observe are as rigid as the mar
riage customs are lax, if all that
have read is true-is most important
document, and much more priced and
much more valuable than the marriage
certificate. The ante-marriage con-
tract is hard, common matter of bust
ness. So are the later-day marriages.

in the courts of France about these

Is, about the marriage taking place
in Lent and adverse criticism of the
archbishop's action had been heard
in various quarters. The idea that
no marriages can be presided over
by the Catholic clergy during Lent
is a mistaken one. Any Catholic
may marry in Lent, but no nuptial
masses can be celebrated in church
during that period. The fact that
Miss Anna Gould had been quietly
baptized into the Protestant Episco-
pal faith at Irvington-on-the-Hu d-
