arranged that Anna Could will remarry
Count Hon ni de ( 'astellane. -Anna has
; found that since her divorce she is not

society and she has had to put up with
second-rate persons in the American col

.the Prince de Nagan has ruined her
everywhere in Europe socially. Her re
marriage with Count Rnni will reinstate
her in ariHtocrntic society; moreover,
her son 's future is a matter which
neither she nor Count Honi can neglect.
These little boys will some day be
great gentlemen in France. ' '

states that the marriage will
be purely formal and that the Castel
