PEOPLE.

So it seems both Frank Gould and
his wife, from whom he was divorced
about a year ago, she getting the Oh
Sorce, have been married again, he
rather oddly to another Miss. Kelley
(the name of his first wife) and she TO a
Mr.. Thomas of New York, the nephew
of Washington b. Thomas, President OF
, the American Sugar Refining Company.
Mrs. Thomas is still only 26 years OF
age-a mere girl in the eyes of most
people-and from the unhappy expert
ence of her first matrimonial venture
may be wise enough to derive great
profit. The unrea aSonableneSS ana eX-
actions of youth, too much interference
on the part OF her mother are probably
very largely to blame for the unhappy
mess of things which she and Frank
Gould made. The first years of married
life are apt to be full OF trial for any
two yonug people, any way, even when
they are both very much In love, and
both possessed of a fair amount of
common sense, but il they weather
these without serious estrangement,
they become permanently adjusted and
stick together thru life, ultimately. A
divorce is always to be deplored. and
particularly when there are children,
and it does seem too bad, since both
Frank Gould and his former wife are
still so young, that they didn't try
little harder to get along for the sake

them. Frank Gould has married
Miss Edith Kelly, who was an actress
and to whom ne has been reported en-
gagged for some months. The wedding
is said to have taken place about two
weeks ago in Paris, but Mr.. Gould did
not wish to make public acknowledge
ment of it until after that of his former
wife and Mr.. Thomas had been an
nounced. He will probably make his
home in Paris.
Some exhibitions of fancy flying took
place at Atlantic City the other day
which provoked the widest enthusiasm
among the vast crowds on the piers,
boardwalk and beach, who stood with
heads thrown back and eyes fixed on
the heavens above them. Glenn Curtis
In his machine, and Walter Brookins in
Wright biplane, were both in the air
at the same time, and it is hard TO say
which aroused the most admiration by
his swoops. swift circling, and graceful
dips. Curtis gracefully ducked, tossed
first one wing and then the other in the
air, whirled with the agility of q swal-
low, giving a truly remarkable eXhfbi-
ton of dipping as he shot out and back
over the surf only a few feet from the
spectators, while Brookins, not to be
outdone and, rising about 200 feet in
the air. swept around in wide circles,
narrowing these until he appeared to be
swooping around in a 100-foot diameter
and within 100 feet of the crowd. 1t
was really a very pretty sight, and was
an impressive evidence of the wonderful
control the aviators had over their ma
chimes. 1t seems Walter Wellman is to
make the attempt, about the last OF
August, to cross the Atlantic in the
great motor balloon known as the
America, which was built for the Well
man polar expedition. The America is
Srcli 10 1,n ooh
land, and can accommodate, besides a
crew of six men, rs other people. Mr..
Wellman will take with him Melvin
Vaniman, an engineer. The airship is
fitted out with a Marconi equipment,
and the attempt promises to be most
interesting. The purpose of this voy-
age, SO fraught with unknown dangers,
is not to perform a sensational feat to
simply win the wonder and applause
OF people, but to demonstrate the prac
ticability of the use of motor balloons
for naval and military purposes. Mr..
Wellman firmly believes that airships
like the America can and will be en-
ployed in the future successfully as bat
tleship and naval station destroyers.
Neither of the principals in this expe
dition are over sanguine of success; in
deed, they think 1t most probable they
will not succeed, but they see n fairly
reasonable prospect of making the voy-
age anu luty dTe SOlIiS 10 II any way
In France, the other day, woman
aviator, driving a Voisin biplane, be-
came frightened, lost her nerve, and fell
with her machine to the ground, break
ing both arms and legs and sustaining
other severe contusions. It is thought
she win recover, but it would be well
for women to wait n little longer before
rushing into this new sport. The lady
in question, the Baroness De la Roche,
well-known in European sporting cir
cles, had another accident only last
January while driving the same ma
chine. She ran into a tree. could not
get her biplane out, and finally fell from
q hight of 20 feet, which kept a nurse
and doctor pretty busy for some days.
IT really looks as if this venturesome
lady hardly understood the manage
ment of her machine yet, altho the
French Aero Club granted her an air
pilots license last February.
Poor Clara Morris, at one time the
greatest emotional actress on the Amer |
lean stage and whose pitiable condition |
has aroused so much sympathy lately, |
has written quite amusingly in the
Housekeeper, of the various thoughts
which surge into a girls brain as she
stands before the flower-decked altar,
apparently listening to the holy words
issuing from the lips of the minister
which makes her wife. Like everyone
else, when spectator of this beautiful
and touching ceremony, Miss Morris
had found herself wondering what the
dominant thought could be of this ra-
diant creature enveloped in her ieecy
veil as she came slowly up the aisle
leaning on her fathers arm, watching
the shining eyes of her bridegroom
awaiting her at the prescribed place.
Was it Joy, triumph, half fear, or
what? Then, standing beside him she
had chosen for her protector through
life, with both eyes fixed upon the min
lister as il drinking in every word, what
was her thought? Did the solemn words
fill her heart to overlooking with graft
tude to God for her great happiness,
and was she yowing TO herself that
she would prove herself worthy OF this
wonderful gift of love? Well, Miss
Morris determined she would find out,
so she began questioning the various
married girls she knew WELL and dis
covered that with hardly an exception,
each girl, during the entire ceremony,
found herself occupied by some utterly
frivolous thought. A very large num-
but one thing. and which was whether
their dresses looked all right in the
back; but one girl, whose personal van
ity was not great, and who was known to
be very deeply in love with the man she
was to marry, told Miss Morris that she
had gone TO the church with the most
elevated and beautiful thoughts and had
made up her mind to listen and take
in every word the minister said. Hard
ly had the service begun, however, when
