NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The recent an
nouncement of the engagement of
Howard Gould and Katherine Glenn
mons once more brings these two young
people into public notice, and as this
promises to develop situations more
interesting than the love affairs Of null
timillionaires usually are the public
may be sure that it will be kept fully
posted. The present prospects are that
if young Mr.. Gould marries Miss Glenn
mons he will lose $5,000,0OO and the
friendship Of his family.
Jay Gould was a man of wonderful
foresight, and he looked long way be-
yond the grave. He made a provision
in his will that if any of his children
married against the wishes of the other
members of the family the offender
should forfeit just half the inheritance.
This penalty has already prevented
Howard Gould from contracting at
least one marriage which his brothers
and some others thought would be an
unwise one. Howard seems to be the
most impressionable Of all the Could
boys. He has q decided preference for
actresses. Of course he can plead that
his big brother George set an example
by marrying Edith Kingdom. but tha
Goulds well know that not every act
ress will make as good a wife as she
has made.

For several months he freQuented stage

Tyler He sent her bushels Of roses and
gave her $4,000 engagement ring as
wei as other expensive jewelry. But
when his big brother threatened to cut
down his patr1nony from $4,000, 600 to
100000 and excommunicate him from
the family. he was brought to his
senses and announced that his enga ge-
ment to Miss Tyler was off.
1t is evident that this abrupt ending
to his first love affair cid not inf1fct a
very deep heart wound, for it was NOT
more than twelve months after this
that the world was told that he had
