This story was again confirmed yesterday
by reports which also announced the
granting of n marriage. license to Mrs.
Helen Kelly Gould to wed the young sugar
merchant. Ralph Hill Thomas.
This marriage il scheduled for to-
morrow. and on Tuesday Mrs. Gould. with
husband No .. will sail for Europe. where
MIR. Could and wife No. are already en-
joying their honeymoon.
But one question is still unanswered.
what is to become of two hapless fac

try place at on-the-Iudson.

future, perhaps both father and mother
will consent to let the little maids find
peace on this neutral ground.
