The history of the Goulds is more
/ mosaic. II was not until our own DAY
I thar they did anything haIr-brained anC
I foolish. The early GouldS. the founders
( of the great wealth, part of which Niviai
/ will inherit. were slow-plodding men
| They began with small economies ant
/ privations while making their millions
jay Gould left a fortune estimated a
/ 81 000. 900. but his forebears, by then
I economy. the frugality they taught him
/ had paved the way for his success. jar
/ Gould was an Industrious, frugal man
/ so plain and so frugal that il is Difficult
to think Of him as the father Of thu
| spendthrift Goulds OF this generation.
Baron Decies is twenty years oldel
than his hancee. but If man is as oil
| as he feels. there is no dispropOTtiOI
/ between the ages Of Vivien Gould an'
John Beresford. ON this side the waite
/ Baron Decies is Known chiefly as
| sportsman. a redoubtable hOrseman. an'
an ardent hunter, but he is much mor'
F. than this; ne is a soldier. who has beer
tried in battle. and decorated for hi:
| prowess there. a man of fine standard
and clean living. and il should be a mat
ter of cOngTatulatiOn that if the mil
lions made in this country must be spen
in Europe they fall into such worthy
hands.
