) Decels, whose full name is John Ora
ham &c la Poer Beresford, Baron De.
cels, of County Waterford, England
first met Miss Gould while he was
exhibiting horses at the New York
! show several years ago. She was
then in short dresses, but it was seen
at the outset that he was greatly in
terested in the child, as she was
| then.
Lord Deceis, who is only two years
younger than his father-ln-law. has
seen much service as a soldier, hav-
ing been in the Boer campaign. Be-
ing an engaging conversationalist,
it was suggested that his stories of
his travels and fighting may have
won the heart of Miss Vivien, for
Lord Deceis was frequent guest of
the Goulds at their Georgian Court
and town residences. Lord Deceis,
however, denied the Impeachment
that he had played lago to Miss
Gould's Desdemona.
Lord Decets himself thought it
nothing unusual that man of A
should wish to marry a girl of IS.
Why, I'm not DID," he said to the
New York interviewers. Gin Eng
land man of A, especially il he
has lived actively in the open air, as
l have done, is considered right in
his prime. Differences in ages such
as between Miss Gould and me, are
| very common in England"
In, addition to being a soldier
Lord Deceis is one of the most prom
inent sportsmen in England. He
owns a small racing stable and is
known as cricket and football play
er, hunter and a boxer.
The country seats over which
Lady Deceis will be mistress are Kill
corney, Ireland, Seton Park, Slaugh
England, and Beresford Lodge
Kent
AS on previous occasions when
American heiresses have bestowed
themselves upon titled foreigners
the ceremony was witnessed by thai
select and exclusive body known as
Society" The church was crowded
to the doors by the social elect OF
America and many members of the
English nobility. At the Gould res.
idence in Fifth avenue, the guests
were given an opportunity to view
the wedding presents, which were
among the most numerous and costly
ever given to an American bride.
Seldom have the church decora
lions been equaled in this city. The
interior of the editice was converted
into a veritable conservatory OF rare
tropical foliage and vines
The walls were lined with
rare palms and vines were USED
to large extent in decorating tht
arches and supporting columns
White callas studded the green O.
the chancel and huge baskets of fra
frant blossoms were suspended in ev
cry panel space of the side walls.
The choir, half hidden behind /;
bank of flowers rendered the opening
selections of the elaborate musica
program, accompanied by organ ant
violin. Meanwhile every seat in thu
huge edifice was taken and people
were standing at the back and in tn,
side aisles.
i When the last strains of Henchel
Morning Hymn" had died away thu
watching spectators were rewarded
with the sight of score of littl,
choir boys in white vestments march
ing in through the door at the lief
of the chancel. Behind them cam,
Bishop Greer in full Episcopal cos
tune accompanied by DR.. Leighton
Parks, rector of St. Bartholomew
Both churchmen were especia
friends of the Gould family and i
was the especial wish of the brid
that they perform the wedding cere
mony.
When the bishop and rector hat
reached their places hush fell owe
the large assemblage as the brida
procession made its appearance. Firs
came the ushers, eight in number
i Following the ushers were tn
bridesmaids in gowns of white chit
fon over white satin, made with tn
high wasted empire effect and trim
med with festoons of sea-green SAITH
ribbon.
Behind the bridesmaids were tw,
little flower girls. Miss Edith Goul,
another sister of the bride followe,
as maid of honor.
There was great craning of neck
when the bride herself entered &C
companied by her father. Miss Goul,
looked particularly young and girl
ish and appeared perfectly uncon
