New York, Feb. THE old story
81 American wealth and foreign
atle meeting at the alter was re-
staged today in the marriage of Miss
Helen Vivien Gould, second daughter
ID Mr.. and Mrs. George Jay Gould,
md Lord Decies of England. In St.
Bartholomew's church, before an au-
dence that represented American
and English aristocracy, this eigh-
teen-year-old girl and her tiance OF
A years were welded this afternoon
at p. m.
As is usually the case in interna-
donal alliances of such prominence,
sodays wedding again demonstrated
the morbid curiosity of the public
and thousands of persons crowded
about old st. Bartholomew to get
Q glimps of the bride and the nota-
bles in attendance The services of
several hundred policemen were re-
CURED to keep the streets clear for
the endless string of automobiles
that deposited their richly gowned
and faultlessly groomed guests at
the church doors. Similar scenes
we're enacted at the Gould home 867
Fifth Avenue, where a reception was
held Immediately following the cere-
nony.
The full Episcopal service was per-
formed by the Rev. Leighton Parks,
rector of st. Bartholomew's, assist
cd by the Rev. David H. Greer. Ten
thousand dollars worth of flowers
had turned the interior of the church
into veritable bower, the scene of
enchantment being enhanced by a
special musical program, under the
direction of Organist Hyde. In addi-
ton to the regular choir of st. Bar
tholomew's, there was the boys
choir from the Cathedral of ST..
John the Divine. The soloist for the
& occasion was Ricardo Martin of the
Metropolitan Opera Company.
In sumptuousness, the wedding ri
vailed that of the brides older sister
0 Marjorie, who at the same altar was
\ married to Anthony ]. Drexel less
/ than ten months ago.
Miss Gould's attendants were her
sister, little Miss Edith Gould, as
maid of honor, her still smaller sis
ter, Miss Gloria Gould, and Miss
Diana Dalziel as flower girls, while
the bridesmaids were Miss Hope
Hamilton, the brides cousin; Miss
| Hanna Randolph, of Philadelphia,
Miss Allison Pierce, Miss Louise
Cromwell, Of Washington, Miss Enc
line Holmes and Miss Beatrice Claf-
ein. Lord Alastair Graham, "a cou-
sin OF Lord Decies, was best man.
The ushers were the Earl Percy,
Lord Camoys, Robert Grey of Lon
don, Phoenix Ingraham, Moncure
Robinson, Robert e. Russell, An

Crowninshield. The bride was Civ
On away Dy ner 1atner. :.
The wedding gown was Of heavy
white duchess satin, in semi-empire
style, heavily embroidered with sill
yer roses. The train was eight
yards long. The veil was of real
lace. Lady Deceis plans to wear her
bridal gown at the coronation of
King George and at her presenta-
ton to the English court in June.
The bridesmaids gowns were of
white chiffon over white satin, trim
med with festoons of sea green sat
In ribbon. The gowns were in the
Aigh-waisted empire style. The hats
we're Of white chiffon, trimmed with
green. The brides dress was made
tn Paris, as was the rest of her
trosseau, on which was spent, &C
sording to a reliable report, the
snug little sum OF $4,000.
Those who like to follow the elab-
crate weddings among New York's
millionaires estimate the total cost
OF MISS vlVl6u 3 LTduSl OIludllOu lACO
Lady Deceis at close to $4,000, to
cay nothing of the "dot" of several
millions that she will take with her
titled husband. Mrs. George ].
Gould is nothing If not lavish in her
social affairs, and her planning of
eoday's wedding, from first to last,
was in utter disregard of cost. The
preliminary entertainments, the dec
orations OF the church and house,
the gifts to the wedding party, and
the other odds and ends brought the
total expenditures up to the proper
tions Of a good sized fortune.
Lord and Lady Deceis will go to
California on their honeymoon.
They will return to New York for a
brief stay before sailing for England,
where Lady Deceis plans a social ca
reer Of the greatest prominence.
