DISCUSSES PLANS
ABOUT CHILDREN
Confident Courts Will Uphold Her
in Fight for Possession Of
Offspring.

PARIS, Nov. lL-Princess Hello de
Sagan, who was Miss Anna Gould be-
fore her marriage and subsequent di-
vorce from Count Boni de CastelIane,
declared today that the report that she
was about TO ask for a separation from
the prince, her husband, was absolutely
false
Her denial was made most sensational
by her ntimation that the report was
probably created by her former nus
band, Count de Castellane. whose fight
IN the courts for their children will be
continued next Monday.
The princess made her statement as
soon as the reports OF a separation
from the prince in the near future
reached her ears. she laughed over it
at first, but finally grew indignant at
the rumor, and emphatically denied that
there was any truth in the stories.
No Papers Served.
There is not one word OF truth in
the story" she said. when seen at the
Pink Palace. in the Bots de BOulOgne
built by Count de Castellane, while the
prince stood by her side and nodded ap-

The princess seemed absolutely sure
OF the courts allowing her 20 keep the
possession OF her children. as she dis
cussed matters relating 10 their educa-

whether 10 send them TO English or
