THE WIVES OF THE GOULDS.
Each of the Four Ladies Is Very At
tractive in Her Way.

New York Times.
Some one observed the other day the
four Mrs. Goulds lunching at one res
taurant. 1t is needless to say that they
were not together. 1t is a study some
times in looking over the history of a
family TO observe how it can separate and
eacn branch become so distinct. one from
the other. by the different marriages. Mrs
George Gould is the most fashionable OF
the four. She is always superbly gowned
and is a most gracious and interesting
woman. At one time she was a little in
clined to embonpoint but that seems to
have passed her, and her figure is now per-
feet. She has never made any distinct adj
vances to occupy leading position in New
York society, but it has come to her almost
without the asking. Ten years ago she and
Mr.. Gould made their appearance with the
late Mrs Paran Stevens at the horse show
Since then the gorgeous Georgian court
has been built and the wedding> or Anna
Gould to the Count de Castellane mas
taken place. The latter occurred at the
Gould residence in this city in the spring OF
1885.
Mrs Edwin Gould is also most attrac-
tive woman. She was a Miss Shraoy, anu
rather resembles a Parisienne than new
many friends in the fashionable set she
and her SiSter-in-law, Mrs George Gouiu'
are on most amiable terms, but they DO
not go with exactly the same people al
though both have excellent positions. 1t Is
simply a case of choice of friends.
Mrs. Frank Gould, who was Miss keuy,
is very beautiful young woman one
and her husband are made much OF py
Miss Helen Gould, and Mrs. Frank Gould
had quite a success this summer at New
port. She is tall and slender with golden
brown hair. She and her husband are very
devoted to each other and are always seen
in each others company. They are Dotn
very young, and they have not made, with
the exception of the visit to Newport thls
summer, any steps toward a social career.
Mrs Howard Gould is quite apart from
her other sisters-in-law. She has had some
thing of a career as great stage beauty,
and her name has been often before the
public. She is very blonde and rather stout.
She is one OF the most generous or women
and her charities are numerous. she Is
very fond of religious and occult STUDY
perhaps a strange combination-an she
has gathered around her a little set VINO
are all notably clever women. Among
these are Mrs William Perry, the mother
of Mrs. Lorillard Ronalds; Mrs; Rlchard
Lounsbery and DR.. and Mrs. Cleveland;
She gives delightful entertainments and
takes party OF friends each year on the
yacht Niagara for long trips abroad. She
is a great traveller, and last winter she
went through Egypt and the Holy Land.
In Europe she has made many very nota-
BILE friends, and the Kaiser and other roy
alties were among the guests at various
times on the Niagara. She has distin-
guished herself by absolute fearlessness

to use the name of Gould as a means 10
levy what is not their due, and she has
taken all these matters in her own hands.
There has not been much cordiality be-
tween herself and her other slsters-in-law,
little set. 1t is not a house divided against
itself, but a very interesting study.
