QUIET CEREMONY AT THE HOUSE.

 VIII Go at Once tO Paris and Enter the
 Gay Social whirl.
 NEW YORK, Feh. 1.-The final prepara- tions for the wedding of Miss Anna Gould to Count de Castellane of France have been completed. The alternatives laid be- fore the happy couple were:
 On the one hand. grand wedding at St Patriok's cathedral. with all the pomp and ceremony of the Church of Rome. On the other hand, n quiet home wedding at the brides homo with the plain simple ritual of tho presbytery.
 The count. like all young. enthusiastic Frenchmen. was set upon the first idea. Miss Anna Gould. more retiring and less familiar with the'splendors of the world. was for tue latter.
 To Miss Gould's way of thinking was added the insuperable barrier which the Roman Catholic church places against any religious display during Lent It was impossible for the counts mother and brother to come from France in time for Q wedding before Ash Wednesday, Feb. 27. The word delay was not in the counts bright lexicon, so that the wedding was arranged for March and in the Gould residence, in Fifth avenue.
 Count dc Castellane has been busy with the cable since the first announcement of his engagement last week. It was his wish, after first conveying the good news to his people in France. that his father and mother. the Marquis and Marquise dc Castellane. and his younger brother, Count de Castellane, should come over before the wedding.
 TIa kaA nl hat do I nes and one or two other of his intimate friends might be persuaded to come over for the occasion. but the mother and the brother are the only ones who will brave the distance and danger to be present at the wedding on March I.
 His Brother as Best Man.
 visit to America. She was Mile. de Juigue. She will doubtless see much to marvel Ht in New York society. The counts father, the Marquis de Castel. lane. does not feel inclined to undertake the journey. The young Count de Cas- tellane will act as his brothers best man.
 Miss Anna Gould will have only two bridesmaids The first will be her elder sister and special guardian under the terms of her fathers will, and without whose consent she could not marry. The otber bridesmaid will be Miss Kitty Cameron, a daughter of Sir Roderick Cam. eron, a close personal friend. Miss Gamer on was one of the now famous party to Ot tawa for the ice carnival. during which tho marriage was arranged.
 The Rev. Dr. John Paxton. under whose religious auspices the whole Gould family has been brought up. will perform the marriage ceremony, and of course tho hpiI N.xRll hn rrir Ix- NlH HnI brother, MT. George J. Gould.
 It is probable that by a special dispen sation of Archbishop Corrigan private service according to the rites of the Cath ollie church will be celebrated during thu morning of March 1. Although such ceremony is not required by the laws O this country, the De Castellanes, like al the other great families of France. arr deeply imbued with the authority of thei mother church and arc bound to fulfill al l obligations which arc her due
 About Marriage Settlements. It is under. tood that while Count d. | Castellano made never thu slightest sug gestion that a marriage settlement shoulC be made upon him. he has consented t accept S2 QUO. 0C0 on certain conditions which relate entirely to his prudence ant | good conduct As he Is in every way very model young man, there seems to b no hardship attached to his acceptance o @, GOO, GOO. These details. of interest onl, l to the hard heads who invariably inter fere when a great fortune is to be:disposeI 1 of, naturally disappear during tho bus preparations for this suspicious event
 The house of the late Jay Gould. wher the wedding is to take place. has not oftel been thrown open to society. Miss Helel Gould was brought out there before he fathers death, and a very handsome re oeption was given in her honor. Sine then Mir. and Mrs George J. Gould an the young ladies of the family have enter cd largely into society and made plac for themselves which their father neve | thought of or coveted
 It Is expected that the bride and bride groom will go to Paris by April in tim to enter into the gayest season of tho gay est capital in the world. Miss Gould ha already had one brief season in Pari: With the Marquise de Castellane as mott erin law and the Princess do Sagan as
 near relative, 1t is probable that tho fol mer social horizon of the little America girl will Do greatly extended.
