New York, Feb. 7.-Threatening
letters, sent Miss Vivien Gould. warn
ing her against her marriage, are in
the hands of the police today. They
were sent anonymously. The girl has
not read them.
One says: "Dear sweet girl beware
remember your aunt who married
a blue blooded nobleman, the rotten
remnant of declining race. There
are still Count DeCastellans willing
to snatch up good, clean American
girls for their dollars. Once they have
done this they throw aside the pure
young things and return to their ways
of dissolution"
New York, Feb. 1.-THE old story
of American wealth and a foreign til
tie meeting at the altar was re-staged
today in the marriage of Miss Helen
Vivien Gould, second daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Jay Gould, and Lord
Decies Of England. In st. Bartholo-
news church, before an audience
that represented American and Eng
lish artisocracy, this eighteen-year-
old girl and her fiance of A years
were welded this afternoon.
AS is usually the case in interna-
tional alliances of such prominence,
todays wedding again demonstrated
the morbid curiosity of the public and
thousands of persons crowded about
old st. Bartholomew's to get glimpse
of the bride and the notables in at
tendance. The services of several
hundred policemen were required 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 were enacted at the
Gould home, S67 Fifth Avenue, where
a reception was held Immediately fol-
lowing the ceremony.
The full Episcopal service was per-
formed by the Rev. Leighton Parks
rector of st. Bartholomew, assisted
by the Rev. David H. Greer. Tel
thousand dollars worth of flower!
had turned the interior of the church
into veritable bower, the scene Of
enchantment being enhanced by {
special musical program, under thu
direction of Organist Hyde. In add
tion to the regular choir Of st. Bar
tholomew's there was the boys choi
from the Cathedral of ST. John tn
