attentions, Of course the little countess
could not complain II Boni's second

paying attentions to other women of
title which were due to herself alone.
1t was more than she could stand.
1t is said that the outburst Of her dis
pleasure was only narrowly averted at
the time the preparations were being
made to entertain King Carlos Of
Portugal. This proved such q dazzling
junction that 1t has been referred to
as the browning event of Count Boni's
golden age. 1t is Of such recent date
that the world has not forgotten the
princely extravaganza which marked
the lavish event. It cost probably

But there Is an end to all things,
the patience of an American
woman who has felt the condescension
OF a foreigner in giving her his title

ences with the countess lawyers Boni
has made 1t plain THAT all he wants
is the income which he enjoyed before
his marriage, and It is thought that
the countess is willing to help him out
to this extent. Just what the future
plans Of the countess are following the
granting Of her divorce is uncertain,

George, Boni and Jay. she will be
forced to remain in France. The title

Four Strenuous Years.
Those first four years in which he
enjoyed the spending of the SIS, 600, 900

life, that is as the count counts hap

he felt was the possession Of a prince

basis was to be this grand palace on

that they could devote all their time
to the task Of making these walls rich
with the fruits Of their talent.
Chateaux and city palaces were pur-

tear IPwn their walls and secure the

AMERICAN GIRLS LIFE Proves A FAILURE

New York City.-Eleven years age
the alliance between the Gould mil.
lions of America and the House de
Castellane, Of France, was demon
mated a brilliant international ro
nance, to-day it might well be called
the international fiasco, for what was
begun with such dazzling splendor in
this city just a little over a decade
ago, Is to end in the divorce courts of
Paris. If Miss Anna Gould could
have read the last chapter in her ca.
reer as a French countess before she
begun the first, would she have ever
dared written the story at all? is the
question being asked now on this side
of the pond" as the rich dub the
great Atlantic. Mr.. I-Told-You-So is
triumphant, and Miss Envy-Heart is
saying; ut serves her right" While
pretty much everybody is scanning
the newspapers in hopes that since the
last edition some new skeleton has
been dragged from it's closet in the
marble halls of the Grand Trianon-
the Paris palace of the Castellanes-
and is pictured in all it's salacious de.
tails.
Skeletons in a Closet.
1t is evident that Count Boni had
quite a varied assortment of the afore-
said skeletons tucked away in various
luxurious hooks and corners of Paris,
If the reports in the newspapers are to
be believed, and it Is no wonder that
the gentle, brown-eyed little countess
has first been shocked, then enraged,
as she has come face to face with the
hideous monsters, and has fled for con:
ISOLATION and relief to the divorce
courts.
"Hideous monsters?" you exclaim.
why, I thought it was a woman!"
Well, 1t undoubtedly is, for the
countess in her bill of particulars in
her application for divorce mentions
the name of a fair lady Of title, a
sportswoman, Duchess Dues, and
hints that there are numerous other
charmers who have come between her
and her Boni, but aren't those the
skeletons of the Castellane household,
