THE COUNT TALKED.
ANNA GOULD’S—I-IIJ—S—B—AND LlKED HIS
NAME-IN PRINT.
Every Evidence that a Regular Literary
Bureau “’35 Maintained in Connection
With the Preparations for the Wedding.
Interviews and Details by the Yard.
That the Count de Castellane. Anna
Gould’s French husband, enjoyed the
cheap notoriety usually accorded act-
resses. is clearly evinced by the space oc-
cupied in metropolitan papers by the
ante-nuptial announcements and gossip
of the then impending event. That col-
umn after column of the stuff published
emanated from an inner source there is
no doubt. \be the great papers gave
their space to it is one of those things
one cannot explain.
Here is astory from the New York
Herald: _
“Helas!” he exclaimed with true Gal-
lic fervor. “I came to America unknown,
and to—day I am famous. Each hour
brings me twenty letters. There are men
who want to sell me jewels and lace, sil-
ver and old furniture. There are others
who want to be my coachmcn, my
grooms and my valets de chambre.
There are lots who beg outright, and
many more who wish to extract
from me the secrets of my soul. There is
not an hour of the day that I can call my
own.
“The manner of my going to bed and
getting up has been minutely described.
They say I lace and pad, that my father
and mother are separated. and that I am
to be a charge for life upon the Gould
estate.
“My pictures are scattered broadcast
through the land, my—J’.
A messenger approached the count
with a note.
“Yes, and here is a man who wants to
curl my hair for nothing. =:
“I came to America to indulge in my
love of sport. I had heard much of your
\Vestern shooting and hard riding. I
went first to Newport. where I was fasci-
nated by the place and its society. I
stayed on and on. Then I came to New
York and to Colorado, where I had
great shooting. I got back in time to
find the hunting clubs in full blast.
“It. was while hunting with the Men-
mouth County pack at Lakewood that I
first met the Goulds. They were kind-
ness itself. I was thrown often in their
society, both then and afterward in New
York. I greatly admired Mr. George
Gould’s cleverness and wide grasp of
information. Miss Anna Gould was a
charming young lady, simple and unat-
fected, but no idea of marriage or any
other feeling than esteem crossed my
mind. '
“Then came the invitation to join their
party to Canada. It had been my origi-
nal intention to journey north and see
the famous sports on snow and ice. It
was during that trip that the truth came
out. Iknow not exactly how or when,
but I returned to N cw York the accepted
suitor of Miss Gould.
“The brother and sister, her guardians,
gave their consent, and it was when the
Herald announced the engagement that
I awoke to find myself famous.”
Count do Castcllane was talking for
publication, but with the greatest frank-
ness.
“I have been misunderstood complete-
ly as to any settlements the Gould fam-
ily may make upon me. The question
has never been broached or even hinted
at in any way. The whole idea is exceed-
ingly repugnant to me and must be so to
my relatives and friends in France. My
lawyer has naturally conferred with the
Gould lawyers upon those matters,which
must come up when marriage is contem-
plated. Beyond that I kuow nothing.
“I have always declared against a long
engagement, and only asked that our
marriage should be as soon as possible.
“My great pleasure ou‘getting home
will be that I shall not find myself so
famous a person there, and can then
afford to snap my fingers at all the un-
true statements that havc been circulated
about me here.
“I can never accustom myself to hav-
ing my name so constantly in print. Mr.
Gould tells me that that is the American
way of doing things; but I must say that
it is the only American fashion to which
I object.”
A. Well Intentioned hlan's Mistake.
The Well Intentioned Jinn. overheard
two women talking togetucrin the cable
car and he immediately let down the pot-
tals of his ears, for the “fell Intentioned
Man always goes about with a lifelong
hunger in his heart to insert himself into
the affairs of other people.
“I tell you he is a perfect tyrant,” said
woman number one. ‘
“I haven’t a doubt of it,” said woman
number two. . .
“I will listen to this poor.woman’s
tale,” thought the Well Intentioned Man
“and perhaps I may be able to assist the
poor soul.”
“Yes,'he is a regular tyrant and des-
pot. He has no mercy on me whatever.
He rules the whole house like a regular
czar.” «
“Of course he does,” said woman num«
her two. '
“I shall have to offer my services to
this poor down trodden woman,” thought
the Well Intentioncd Man.
“Yes, he rides over the whole of us
rough shod. And sometimes when he
gets on the rampage he breaks every-
thing he can lay his hands on.”
“Madam,” said the Well Intentioned
Man, who could stand it no longer,
“madam, my services are at your dispo—
Let me go to your home and inter.
code with your tyrannical husband.”
“He isn’t my husband at all, you sim-
' piston,” snapped woman number one.
“He’s my nine months old baby—bless
his precious little soul!”
An Extravagant Girl.
“A, penny for your thoughts !" she cried
To the dudeling by her side.
Then she stopped to reconsider
And her calm reflection bid her
Not to cling
To a bargain quite so rash.
So she spoke up like a flash:
"Hold! That’s what bad habits bring-—
In my extravagant way
I always do pay
About two prices for a thing!”
—Chicago Record.
Ono Habit Corrected.
“Idon’tknow whether I will be able
to break him of all the habitsI do not
like,” said the engaged girl, “but the
first anal stopped for him was just-as
easy.” , _ ‘
."What habit was that?” asked the
other‘girl. .

two or three times a week.”—Indianapolis
