begnning with the foyer hall open

path led to the southwest parlor over
LOOKING the Hudson. The parlor itself
was banked with palms and festooned
WITH white and red roses Vases of
0ses were set at intervals, giving the
room the appearance of a conservatory.
An altar of smilax, pulmosa, and roses
had been constructed, and from this a

marked out for the bridal party, lead

IN pulmosa. The orchestra, led by

George Gould Held Up.
George Gould and his wife. with a
party Of wedding guests, when they
motored up were laughing and appeared
very happy When they went up the
steps of the residence the man on the
door, private detective, did not recog-
nize them. and they were held in the
cold for some time. while a butler was
summoned. The fact tnat they were
unable to get into the house of their
sister seemed to greatly amuse both Mr..
and Mrs. Gould.
A big force of private detectives
guarded the house and grounds. Three
OF them were on duty at the lodge gate
and only persons who had credentials
We're passed into the SPACIOUS grounds
There was no rush of curiosity seekers
however. Residents of the town and
vicinity have become accustomed to the
passing of Miss Gould and, realizing
that she did not want to be the center
OF rush. kept away from the magnifi-
cent country residence. Only a few per-
sons from out of town and newspaper
representatives gathered at the en-
trance.
Up to the very minute of the cere-
mony wedding presents were rolling in.
As fast as they were received they were
and put on exhibition. They
presented a remarkable contrast. The
magnificent $4,000 gift of Mrs. Russell
monds. was placed alongside OF small
silver pin tray that probably cost about
$40.
The value of the presents was prob
lematic. None OF those who viewed
them agreed, but II was considered GER
tain that when all were listed their
actual monetary value would be at least
$4,000. as they came from every quarter
Of the globe.
