Jewels and other costly presents, which

Monday, March 4.
Mr. and Mrs. George Jay Gould gave
a dinner on Friday night to intro
duce the parents of their brother-in-law-
elect, and the Count de Castellane gave
his farewell bachelor dinner at the
Waldorf Tuesday.
Another intimate friend of the brides
family tells a funny story about the re-
ported engagement last year Of Miss Anna
Gould to Mr.. Hartman.
They were never engaged at ALL" said
she The announcement that they were
was made simply to crush all aspirations
of a Gould alliance out of the breast of
Harry Woodruff the curly pated young
termination of the young actor to give
up the stage on account of her brothers
prejudice, and his starting in to study
law rather frightened the head of the
family. Mr. Hartman was an intimate
friend Of his, and when the gossip mon
gers started the rumor that he went TO
the Gould cottage so often only to see
Miss Anna, Mr.. Gould decided 10 let the
story go uncontradicted. MIR. Hartman
and he knew il needed only that to make
the rumor ironclad. and they knew also
that it would knock all thought of law
out of Mr.. Woodrums head. Their prog
nostcaticns were correct in both in
stances, and the coming brilliant alliance
is one of the results"
Count de Castellane, Ike King Carlos of
Portugal, has been heard to remark that
he would never marry until he could find
fairy tale princess, and by that he meant
she must be good and beautiful and rich,
and so it happened that the count left his
chateau, saying: Il will go out into the
world and search for my chatelaine;" but
before the count could go he had first to
secure a furlough from the army, for he
had only then completed two of the three
years which every young man in France
must give to his country.
After spending nearly year in foreign
parts, travelling in Asia, Africa and Aus
tralia he went to Rome, where he
imagined himself in love with an Italian
maiden, and after fighting duel with his
rival, which fortunately ended in no seri-
Gus results, he returned to Paris fancy
free, and after all his travels there he met
his princess.
Now, while there are many stories af1oat
about the little American girls having as
many flares de occur as she has fingers and
toes the truth of the matter is, the count
was the first man Miss Anna Gould met
last April when she went to Paris.
IHTOUuh "a wal fTfnn6Ghin nj a
Steyenses and the Goulds, Miss Anna was
able to make a pleasant entrance to Paris
society. Mrs. Paran Stevens invited Miss
Gould to be a guest of her sister Miss
tanny Reed, in her Partisan home, and
thus Miss Gould found herself in the
midst of all that is gayest in the gayest
and brightest city in the world Miss
Gould formally made her debut in French
society at the musicale given by Miss
Fanny Reed last April 1t was there she
met Count de Castellane, Prince Francis
Joseph of Battenberg, a brother-in-law of
the Prince of Wales, and Count Talley-
rand-Perigod, with half a dozen other
young noblemen. But at that time indeed,
me count was compelled to take a second
airy place, as Prince Joseph of Battenberg
was prodigal of his attentions and devo-
ions. He was often her escort at the
opera and on the drive, and society began
70 gossip everywhere that the princes at
eulminate in matrimony.
During the yachting carnival at Cowes
MISS Gould, who has always made her
nome with her sister-in-law, Mrs. George
D. Gould, spent the season with her on
her yacht The count, who in July sailed
Iof America, became so infatuated with
american society at Newport that he for
got TO return to Paris.
Inc match is a brilliant one for the lit
We American heiress. She loves France,
and speaks the language of her future
country fuently and, although the count
speaks English fuently they converse al
ways in French. He is very devoted to
MISS Gould, and each day she is the re-
eiplent of a large bouquet, each one be-
ing Of different kind of flower. One

mere are a great many stories afioat
with regard to Jewels bestowed by the
count upon his bride, number of which
are fabrications. On Valentines day Miss
could did receive from the count a beau
ulul pearl bracelet. Miss Gould's engage
