In ignorance of her whereabouts fol
several weeks, and that 1t was subse-
quently developed that she had been
previously married to the aforesaid
osbourne. This marriage her father
has been trying to have annulled, on the
ground that 1t was contracted in spirit
of fun, and that the couple had never
lived together. The young lady, 1t ap-
pears. now wishes to marry Mr.. Clark
son 'for keeps" as the children say,
and her father is apparently willing she
should do so. The Martin Maloneys
are very prominent Roman Catholics
and are powerful members of that
Church. inasmuch as Mr.. Maloney has
used his great wealth most literally for
its advancement. But just as 1t looks
as II the court would give Miss Helen
or Mrs. Osbourne the desired decree OF
freedom, Archbishop Ryan, a great per-
sonal friend of the Maloneys, comes for
ward, and says that she cannot be
married to anyone else until the
Church is satisfied that such a union
would be proper. A thoro investigation
OF this make-believe matrimonial epi-
sode must be held by the Church. whose
sanction to any future marriage will be
denied unless entirely convinced that
no marriage existed between the young
woman and Osbourne. The Maloneys
would not probably think for a moment
of marriage in defiance of the laws of
the Church.
The affair of Nine Gould and the
Prince de Sagan continues to occupy
public attention. The newspapers tell
us that the Prince is the recipient of
more invitations than he can possibly
accept from society women, and that
many of the men of the 400 have put
him up at their clubs He is also an
object of much interest to quite a diff
ierent class of people, the managers of
seVeraI places of amusement placing a
most desirable box at his disposal The
get-rich-qulck crowd have approached
MIN with dazzling propositions, reduir-
ing nothing in return but the right to
use ms proud name on their director
ates. He has had the opportunity given
MN 10 go on the vaudeville stage at a
tempting salary. But the Prince is not
looking Tor money in any of these di-
rections, and has returned polite but
decided mo- to all such advances. We
are told that George Gould, convinced
that nothing the family can say will
cause Nine. Anna to give up the idea of
marrying the Prince, has dispatched a
messenger to Europe to investigate de
Sagans present career and probe his
past. According to one of his country
men, who has lately been in this coun-
try, the people of France have a very
poor opinion of the Prince, and MANY
stories are circulated in Paris greatly
to his discredit. Anna Gould showed
herself to be a very obstinate, deter
mined young woman when she married
Count Castellane in the face of family
disapproval and she may insist upon
marrying the Prince, no matter what
scandaious fact is revealed by this in
vestigation. 1t is said she has fright
