.BONI DICKERS FOR

Count Confers with Lawyers of
Countess as to Terms of
Separation.

Paris, Feb. 14.-Count Boni de Castel-

with the lawyers for the countess: his
wife. This was one Of several meetings
at which the two parties concerned
have carefully gone over the financial
features of the case with the view Of

the meantime, the countess bill of
complaint is being prepared, but has
not yet been filed, as the form will de-
pend upon the pending conferences over
financial affairs. 4. s..s

sthe countess bill of complaint is likely
to be materially modified SO as to con

lawyers, appear to recognize the fulfil

the family.
are that after the parties reach a inan.
cial understanding the bill will be mod
flied and e decree entered by mutual
consent. This decree probably will be
separation, as the French law permits
such a decree's being extended to q
complete divorce after three years. Thus
far, however, the countess has not de
cided whether the bill shall ask for q
complete annullment of her marriage
Her friends are rather inclined. to re-
strict the decree to a separation, as this
would prevent the remarriage Of either
party within three years, thus putting
an end to the rumor that the countess
intended to marry again, which he1
friends characterize as absurd.
AS a result Of the countess prims
facie showing, the court has awarded
her the temporary care Of her children
and separate domicile at the Castel
lane mansion on the Avenue du Boil
Bologne The effect Of this interlocu
| tory order is to exclude the count from
| the mansion, as the law considers it Il
be incompatible for two separate doni

serts his continued affection for hi
