the Gouids, especially Helen Gould.
His family openly charged that Anna
Gould was "bourgeoise" Boni was as
reckless as ever. Petit Trianon was
incomplete. Boni came to America
again to get money and failed. The
countess chateau at Dumarais was
ordered sold for debt and only an ap-
peal to her family saved It, Trades
men openly insulted the Castellanes
and dunned them in public. George
and Edwin Gould gave 100000 to

| $3,000,000. besides his wife's income,
and owed over 100000.
In 1901 the courts took hand to
save the fortune of the little Ameri'
can. A receiver was appointed in the
person of her brother George. The
family paid $4,000 900 of Boni's debts
and held the countess fortune to pro
