Helen Gould's Charitablo Work. Tho latest report I hoar concerning Miss Ilolen Gould's charitable work is that she will give tho financial assistance assist-ance necessary to convert tho Wjjgon Memorial academy, near Nyack, N. Y., into a college. Miss Gould has taken an active interest in this school for several sev-eral years, which is conducted undnr tho control of the Christian and Missionarv Alliauoe She lias sent, several boys there, contributing to their support. Lady Cook is again in America, but not lo lecture on suffrage this time. Sho came to spend some time with relatives. Chiefly to ask hor what she intended lo do for tho American suffragists. I sought her at tho Plaza hotel. She was avcrso to talking upon this subject, although, al-though, in speaking of the new court rogime abroad and its attitudo toward Americans, she said: "Queen Mary will havo hor own way or know the reason why. She will brook no inter fcronco in hor social affairs, and she will act independently as the social arbiter of tho English court. Her feelings feel-ings aro very kindly toward some Americans, although not kindly at all toward some of Ihe rich American men and women who havo used their money in a questionable way to gain favor with members oi the nobility." Not Seeking American Hciross. I might term this an announcement extraordinary. Duke Ferdinand do Montpensior, of tlio French nobility, who recently arrived in this country, is not seeking the daughter of an American millionaire for a wife. The duke, who is the brother of the queen of Portugal, cousin of the King of Spain, grandson of Louis Philippe, onco king of the French, and brother of the Due- d 'Orleans, is making a trip around tho world. Ho is accompanied by a friend. Comto G. do, Pontac; his secretary, Hubert Thonier: a valot and n cinematograph man. For tho duko is going a-hunting, aud films aro to immortalize im-mortalize tho exploits of the royal Niiit-rod. Niiit-rod. The duke's brother claims the title of King of France, and the duko is his heir apparent. "I am ninking a tour of tho world," he said. "I snail stay hero a short time, then go to Mexico for tho hunting. Then a return re-turn to New York. Then to Canada for more hunting, and again a return here. Then ncrosa the country west to Wyoming, Wyom-ing, whero I shall hunt your mountain goats and boars. Then on to San Francisco, Fran-cisco, and from there to Japan. In my automobile, which I run myself. I shall travel down through Cochin-China into India. And so back across Europo and home." Gossip Over Humors. Now York and Newport Bocioty is still gossiping over the rumors which havo followed Aurol Hatonyl to this country from Europe. Rumor No. 1 Aurol Batonyi, tli-! tli-! vorced husband of Mrs. Burke-Kocho, was secretly married to Countess Pal- mai Ilka Kiusky in Paris during Easter East-er week. Report No. 2 Batonyi 's father recently re-cently died ia Hungary, leaving an estate es-tate of $3,000,000, which is to become his after ihe death of his mother, if he gives up tho countess and relinquishes claims to American wives. Either report No. I or report JNo. 2 would havo been sufficient, to have cast a now halo about the Hungarian whip at Newport, where ho now is. In view of the angry statements ho mado to ship nows reporters on his arrival, because be-cause the higher courts had supported his former wifo in the divorce which sho secured, ho refused to rnfk in Newport New-port about his marriage to me Countess Kinsk3. |
