HELIE IS SHUT OUT.
Prince .Helie Can Not Visit the Chill
dren of Count Boni de Castellane.

Paris, May 27-The decision of the
superior court in Count Boni de Cas-
tellane's appeal of the case brought by
him for the custody Of his children
was handed down today and is a par
tial victory for the count. 1t confirmed
the decision of the lower court, giving
the mother the custodyzof the children,
but it set forth that the father alone
had the right to choose their instruc-
tor and designate the college in which
they were to be educated.
Furthermore, Prince Helie de Sagan
is specifically excluded from the list
of persons authorized to visit the chill
dren and the counts contention that
the influence of the prince is pernicious
is thus In effect sustained. The costs
of the appeal are divided.
If the parents can not agree on a
school for the two boys within a fort
night, they are to be sent to the Lycee
of Janson, where only the mother,
grandmother and George Gould may
visit them. The decision sets forth
also that whatever the character and
past of the Prince De Sagan, it is not
right that the princess impose On her
children the influence of her new hus-
band to prejudice their affection for
their father
