so extensively rumored that she would
be married to Count Boni de Castelane
whose first wife now is the Duchesse de
Talleyrand. who was Miss Anna Gould.
large reception given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Alfred S. Heidelbach within the
last week has been the only big after
noon social event In the American colony
this season. 1t was in celebration OF
Mr.. Heidelbach's 10th birthday and was
the first time that their house In the
Avenue d'Iena has been thrown open
for several years. In fact II has been
only recently that the residence, which
is one OF te nanuSOIllest liidt 10 oWHcu
by an American in Paris, has been en-
tirely completed. The house had little
more than it's foundation erected when
war was declared. so it has been only
within the last year that the tapestries
and rare works OF art have been placed.
Mr. Heidelbach owns one of the hand
soonest tapestries In France. and this
fact was taken into consideration when
the house was built. He said at his
birthday party that he had made trip
across the Atlantic for more than every
year of his life, as he had made seventy
three crossings.
