New York.-Word has just been
received from Paris that Frank Jay
Gould, the youngest son OF the late
Jay Gould and brother Of George j.
Gould, has begun divorce proceed
ings against his second wife, Edith
Kelly Gould, in France, the pair
having been living apart for several
months.
Charles G. Loeb, said to be
Goulds attorney in Paris, is report
ed to have confirmed the rumor,
stating incompatibilIty of temper
to be the cause.
Both Live in Paris.
Gould, since his last marriage in
1910, has been living in France,
with a city house at So Rue Pierre
Charron, Paris, and a country place
at Maisons-L.Rfitte, near the French
capital, where he has maintained
large racing stables and, according
to a statement made on his last
visit to this country in 1913, could
raise artichokes without govern
ment interference" He has not
given up his American citizenship,
however.
Mrs. Gould, it is said, is living In
a separate establishment in Paris.
She was formerly a show girl and
attracted considerable attention as
the So-called Pensacola Girl in Ha-
vana, in 1903, at which time she
made the acquaintance Of Mr..
Gould. Miss Bessie De Vote, a
dancer, instituted suit for 5000, 900
summer to heal the aceEations and
Commissions of a broken heart,
charging breach of promise and
publishing a number of ardent love
letters. Mr.. Gould promptly left
for Paris, and it was reported, set
tied the case for $4,000.
Mrs. Helen Margaret Kelly Gould,
his first wife, to whom he was mar
ried in 1901, obtained a. divorce in
1909. naming as correspondent Rose
Winter, an English actress, we'll
known on the American stage.
Custody of their two daughters. the
Misses Helen and Dorothy Gould,
was allowed to the father for seven
months , of the year. For several
years the children have lived with
their fathers sister. Mrs Finley j.
Shepard, formerly Miss Helen
Gould.
Divorced Before.
The first Mrs. Gould, who was
the granddaughter of the late Eu-
gene Kelly, a wealthy New York
banker. and inherited many mil
lions, was awarded alimony of $40
600 annually and a large cash set
Element. Shortly after her divorce
she married Ralph T. Thomas of
New York, who died not long after
ward. She married in New York
Prince Nourreddin Vlora, an Alba
MAN, about a year ago.
Frank J. Gould was reported to
have inherited one-sixth of jay
Qould's estate. which was estimated
az $90000000. but the present
amount of his fortune is not known.
George Gould. when asked if he
could verify the Paris report that
his brother Frank was applying for
divorce, said that he knew moth
ing at all of his brothers affairs.

ROOKIE SONG.

A rookie arrived at Camp Devens
And looked around, Why good
heavens,
What a planner," said he,
Uncle Sammy must be.
Nothing here is at SKIES and sew
ems"
When he drew out his clothes in the
issue.
He swore to his pal they were tis=
sue.
They're the regular stuff"
Crowded his chum in a huff
stop your zap, you poor fish, or
they'll dish you"
When he dined off of dishes alum
mum
He seemed to find nothing but
gloom in EN-.
That's the real army feed;
Lots more beans than you need, "
Said his pal Cut your cussin' and
bloomin' en-.
When you're l6nging for fancy
cut-glasses
And real sugar instead Of mo-
lasses,
Remember your job
Not to sWill like a slob,
Conserve, kid. and feed Europe's
masses"
We'll" sighed the rock, swab-
bling his dishes,
THE moral is, swallow your
wishes:
Don't SWIVEL and slam
At old Uncle Sam.
If you rock the boat you'll feed the
fishes"
