NEW YORK, Feb 14.-The final prepara-
tions for the wedding Of Miss Anna Gould
60 Count de Castellane Of France have
been completed. The alternatives laid be-
fore the happy couple were
On the one hand. q grand wedding at
St Patrick 8 cathedral, with all the pomp
and ceremony OF the Church Of Rome. On
the other hand, quiet home wedding at
the BRIDES home. with the plain. simple
ritual Of the presbytery.
The count, like all young. enthusiastic
Frenohmon, was set upon the first idea
Miss Anna Gould, more retiring and loss
familiar with the splendors Of the world,
was for the 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. 1t was
| impossible for the counts mother and
brother to como from Franco in time for
wedding before Ash Wednesday, Feb
| ~. The word delay was not In tho counts
bright lexicon so that the wedding was
arranged for March and In the Gould
residence, in Fifth avenue.
Count de Castellane has been busy with
the cable since the first announcement OF
his engagement last week. 1t was his wish.
after first conveying the good news TO his
/ people in France, that his father and
mother, the Marquis and Marquise de
Castellane. and his younger brother,
| Count de Castellane, should come over
before the wedding
He had also hoped that the Duo de Luy-
mes and one OF two other Of bis intimate
friends might bo persuaded to como over
for the occasion, but the mother and the
brother arc the only ones who will brave
the distance and danger to be present at
the wedding on March 4.
His Brother as Best Man.
1t will be Nine dc Castellane's first
visit to America. Sho was Mile. de
Juigne. She will doubtless see much to
marvel at IN New York society. The
| counts father, the Marquis do Castel-
lane. docs not fool 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 lrst viii be her elder
sister and special guardian under the
terms OF her fathers will, and without
whose consent she could not marry The
other bridesmaid will be- Miss Kitty
Cameron, daughter of Sir Roderick Cam
eron close personal friend. Miss Gamer

the marriage was arranged
The Rev. DR. John Paxton, under whose
religious auspices the whole Gould family

bride win be givon away by her older
brother, Mr.. George J. Gould.
1t is probable that by special dispen-
sation of Archbishop Corrigan private
service according to the rites of the Cath
olio church will be celebrated during the
morning of March 4. Although such a
ceremony is not required by the laws Of
this country the De Castellanes, like all
the other great families Of France are
deeply imbued with the authority Of theii
mother church and are bound to fulfill all
obligations which are her due
About Marriage Settlements.
1t 10 understood that while Count d,
Castellane made mover the slightest sug
gestion that marriage settlement should
be made upon him, he has consented tC

preparations for this auspicious event
The house Of the lato Jay Gould, wher
the wedding Is TO take place, has not Otter
