Semigallen and Sagan. and with her
inherited vast estates in Prussia, in
Guiding the feudal dukedom and castle
of Sagan. The King of Prussia then
made the French nobleman Duke and
Prince Of Sagan. with the prefix OF
Serene Hlghness."
Most Of these titles now belong to Anna
Gould. although the dukedom of Valen-
cay has been ceded to Helie's younger
brother, Bosom, who was married to Miss
Helen Morton and was divorced by
her. Another title, that Of Duke de Dino.
was ceded to a cousin who has been mar
ried to two American women and di-
vorced from both. The rest of the titles
remain with the head OF the family.
How is 1t that the Sagan estates are
so crippled by debt? BECAUSE four of the
most distinguished spendthrifts in Europe
have been burdening them for years with
their debts 1t would really be quite sur
prising If Helis de Talleyrand had not
inherited more debts than Boni de Cas-
telane was able to pile up by his own
exertions in eight years.
Helie's grandfather, who has not been
dead many years. was the last member
of the family who owned any unincum-
bered property. He possessed the Cha
team de Vaencay. the great seat of the
family in France. acquired by the famous
Talleyrand, and the rich Prussian estates

nooR Anna Gouid'
r. To use the language OF those
4 American circles where the talents
OF the European aristocracy are best APP
preciated. has she been 'gold-bricked'
again?
BY the death Of his father her present
husband has fallen heir to the ancient
prlncipality of Sagan in Prussia, which
carries with 1t the titles of Duke and
Prince of Sagan and the prefix of Serene
Highness." These honors will, OF course,
be shared by his American wife.
Her Serene Highness. the Duchess!"
That appears to be something worth
striving for, some compensation for un-
speakable humiliations, for affronts and
receptions innumerable. for ruinous ex-
penditures and years of social struggling.
But the Duchess cannot enter into pos
session Of her principality because it is
in the hands of creditors who will not
give 1t up except on payment of an enor-
nous sum, possibly exceeding that which
the Duchess has already paid for the
debts of Count Boniface de Castellane.
There stands the ancient castle Of the
Eagans, with its moat and its drawbridge
and its portcullis and its donjon. From
its lofty battlements flies the ancient tat
tered banner of the race. All around
stand loyal peasantry, ready and eager to
do homage to the gracious American
Duchess, who would come among them
to spend her ducats.
But she cannot go there, simply because
a syndicate of money lenders. wine mer-
chants, tailors and other vulgar CONNER
cial persons keep hold of the property
until the debts of all the Sagans are
settled.
Recently Anna Gould's husband. hith-
erto known as Prince Helie de Sagan.
proposed to open his ancient castle Of
Sagan for the first time, and give his
bride the pleasure Of residing there as
chatelaine. He sent word that he was
coming and sent at the same time large
consignment of very choice wines and
delicate eatables. Helie Is considered
the best judge of wines and Liquors In
Paris.
The base-born caitiff creditors seized
first the wines and the delicacies and
then informed the Prince that he could
not occupy the castle unless he paid his
fathers debts.
To understand Anna Goulds present
position 1t Is necessary to say some.
thing Of her husbands family history
Undoubtedly she has come into a re-
markab1e collection of ancient titles
more than any woman who has mar
ried into the French aristocracy.
The founder OF the family was Helie
Talleyrand. who was Lord Of Orig
nols, In 1199-over seven hundred
years ago. He was a reputed younger
son Of Helie, Sovereign Count Of Peri
yesd. The family went along as mod
eratsay distinguished members of the
nobility for several centuries. In 1850 the
name was changed to Talleyrand-
Perlgord.
Then came the astonishing Charles
Maurice de Talleyrand- Perigord, the
most successful turncoat that ever
lived. He got something out of the
Old regime in France. something out OF
the revolution, something out of the
directory. something out of Napoleon
something out of the restored mon.
