MARRIED AT LAST
The Gould-HeIie de Ssgan Nup- tials Took Place in a Reg
 isiry Office To-Day.

London, July 7.-Madame Anna Gould and Prince Helie de Sagan were married at registry office in Henri etta street off Covent garden to-day A subsequent ceremony was conduct ed at the French Protestant church on Soho square.
 There was no secrecy about the wedding, Prince Helie last night an nounced to representatives of the American and French newspapers that all difficulties having been over- come, the marriage ceremony would occur immediately upon the opening of the registry office in Henrietta street this morning. Notwithstanding this the prince and Madame Gould made a determined effort to escape the crowd. They had large motor car waiting at the main entrance of the hotel all the morning. When the hour for them to leave arrived, how ever, the couple, accompanied by three friends, left the hotel by rear entrance and entering ordinary cabs drove to the back entrance of the registry office.
 The civil ceremony was simple. Be- side Prince Helie, Madame Gould, the witnesses and the officials Of the office no one was present. A large crowd assembled in the street outside.
 Prince Helie produced copy of the notice filed with the registrar establishing his two weeks residence in the district and the registrar granted the license. Madame Gould and the prince signed the register, describing themselves as had been done in the bans publi shed in Paris. Armed with the registrars certificate the party, again leaving the building hy the back door, drove in cabs to the French Protestant church hidden away in a corner of Soho square. The cabmen misunderstood their instruc- tions and stopped in front of St Pat rick's Roman Catholic church, which also faces Soho square, and the party had alighted before the mistake was discovered. New directions were given and the cabs drove over to the French Protestant church.
 The party passed into the church almost unnoticed. They were follow ed by only half dozen reporters and a few poorly dressed parishioners. They were escorted to the vestry and the pastor, the Rev l.. Degremont, having read the document brought from the registry office, escorted the couple to the altar while Madame Ranette, daughter of the assitant pastor of the church, played the hymn Abide With Me" on the or gan.
 During the ceremony several pho tographers who had come in with the party took uninterruptedly snap shots of the couple as they stood at the altar
 At the conclusion of the ceremony the pastor, as is the custom of the Protestant church, presented Prince Helie with Bible and then congratu- lated them. After this he led the way back to the vestry, where the church register was signed.
 The witnesses were Baron de Fon- tenilliat and c. Bohchauvin. The only other person present with the party was Prince Helie's private sec retary. Madame Gould wore cos tune of cream colored silk richly embroidered and straw hat to match trimmed with osprey feathers.
 After few introductions to mem. bers of the pastors family, Prince Helie de Sagan and his wife, fol- lowed by the witnesses and the princes secretary, made their way to the carriages.
 The crowd which had collected outside promptly stood aside to let them pass through. Upon arriving at the hotel the prince and his wife sat down to wedding breakfast with a few friends.
