conquest of the French capital at her

it did not meet with the success that
attended that of the Germans in II.
The rue aristocracy, proud and haugh-
ty with the hauteur that comes from
centuries of the best blood of France,
took one look at Anna through its
lorgnettes, and said:
How truly unfortunate that she
should have married that odious and
utterly discredited Boni. With a

Count at Least Scores Success.
The count, being long accustomed
to being snubbed by the society lead
ers Of his country, and having recog-
nized and accepted the position on the
fringe Of the half world that society
had allotted to him, accepted this
treatment as matter of course, used
the Gould millions to rehabilitate the
Castellane castles and villas, paid
some of his most pressing creditors,
and started in to enjoy that part of
Partisan life which was open to him

Prince de Sagan Is the hereditary
Duke of Talleyrand. When his father
died recently De Sagan became the
fifth duke of that name. AS the mere
Prince de Sagan he was looked upon
as an outsider by the highest society
of the French capital. But as the
Duke of Talleyrand he occupies an
honored place second to none, and his
duchess, the former Anna Gould, tri-
umphantly enters into position
which for years her millions and ef-
forts have failed to achieve.
The Gould millions wouldn't do it.
Count Boni de Castellane's titles
wouldn't do it. The royal title of the
thoroughly discredited Prince de Sa-
gan wouldn't do it. But the old, aristo-
cratic name, Duchess Of Talleyrand,
opened the door. The siege of Paris,
which Anna Gould started when she
the Gould millions finally have the
opportunity to fete the highest people
in France.
Social Ostracism Apparent Fate.
1t has been long siege and hard
one. Up to the present time it has
appeared that it was going to be a
losing one for Anna. Social ostracism
has stared her in the face and out of
countenance. Her original marriage,
with Count Boni, proved disappoint-
ment. No royal doors swung open to
the Countess de Castellane, not even
when the name was backed with good
American dollars The count had his
own circle, but, alas and alack! 1t
wasn't the circle that Anna Gould had
figured on entering when she became
his wife. The best society of France
did not receive her with acclaim, and
Anna was disappointed and hurt.
Perhaps it is not fair to say that
this, the failure of the counts titles
to win her the position in European
society that she coveted, was the
cause of the rupture and final divorce
tain that after the countess had dis
covered that so far as social standing
was concerned her position as Coun
