THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1907. MME.DECASTELLANE STILL HEADS SOCIETY Count Boni Is Wrestling With Problem of Living. By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE Paris, May t.—While Count Bonl fie Castellane is still wrestling with the serious problem of how to make a living without actually hiring himself out as a chauffeur or dancing master, his divorced American wife, Anna Gould, has, contrary to all expecta tions, undertook to maintain her high social position. To be sure, there are no longer lucul- ,11c or costly fetes given at "Petit Trianon," which, by the way. Is for sale and will probably be bought by the former Mrs. Hugh Tevls, but Anna Gouig Is still entertaining quite lavish- ly and the creme de la creme of Paris ian aristocracy do not hesitate to ac cept her Invitations. At her latest inuslcale a young American girl, Miss Brooks, who is studying music here, won a great suc cess by her masterful singing of airs from "Alda" and "Thais.” The music was charming and was furnished by an orchestra concealed behind palms on the famous balcony. Mme. Gould at thls'occaslon wore a blue velvet gown trimmed with moos- sellne de sole and handsome Venice lace. As a proof that Paris society has not ostracised the ex-countess I shall only mention that among the guests were such famous names ns Princess Pierre d'Arenberg, Princess de Polignac, the Countess de Montebello, Prince de Murat, Countess de Pourtales and Countess de Chabrillon. And while this fete was going on poor Bonl was prububly sitting home chew ing his pen In an eflbrt to And more unpleasant things to suy about the American girl In Ills potboilers In the newspupers. A curious mistake has occurred at a public hospital here. Two young wom en were recently taken there and one of them ge^j birth to g boy and the other to a girl. The mothers were subsequently discharged from the hos pital, but before they left their babies were taken from them and vaccinated, according to law. The vaccinated ba bies were then returned and the moth ers left. A few hours afterwards one of the women returned In tears and stated that she had given bihh to a boy, but the nurse had handed back to her a girl, and she now Insisted she must have her boy. The woman's statement caused a great commotion, as the other mother had left no address. There was noth ing to do but await developments, and the mother of the boy refused to leave until her rightful child had been re stored to her. Toward midnight the other mother l arrived, greatly excited, and demanded' her baby girl Instead of the boy she had received. A change was effected and both women returned home happy. An open-air theater like the Hearst theater In California, which was de stroyed by the San Francisco earth quake, opens tomorrow Id Algeria. It Is called "Theater du Holell" and Is a girt from M. Rene Gamier, owner of the North African Review. The first play to be produced "Klectra,” by Alfred Polxat, and the actors and actresses are all stars from the Paris Comedle Krancalse. Hun dreds of American tourists have bought tickets for the premiere at which the French assistant secretary of fine arts, M. Dujardln Reaumets. will preside. May 9 "Horace," by Corneille, will be played, nnd after that will follow "Iphl- genla," by Euripides. V Algeria has already two other am phitheaters, one at Flnrgad, the Afri can Pompeii, and the amkiue theater of Carthage, both of which will be open this summer. American visitors returning to Paris after having spent the winter In Italy are all expressing their regrets at Ihe gradual disappearance of the pictur esque gondoliers of Venice. It has become noticed that gondnlns are being less and less used by the Venetian nobles, who prefer Ihe less poetic but more practical modem launches. The gondoliers have long protested against the motor boats, which swamp their gondolas and leave behind them an evil odor, but no one has listened. The motor boats have come to stay, and it Is the old black gondolas, In use for nearly centuries, which will have to go and soon, very soon, nil the poetry will have disappeared from the famous canals. At the present time they are used only by tourists and the tourist season la too short for Ihe gondoliers to earn enough to keep themselves all year reuml.

London, May 4.—King Edward, who is great believer in personal liberty and who seldom, If ever, Interferes with the personal affairs of those around him, had a very un pleasant duty to perform on his return from his recent Mediterranean cruise. Because of repeated utterances by socialistic and op position members of the bouse of commons he had to warn several members of the royal household not to use their official po sitions for private gain. Among those who came under Ids criti cism were Sir Vernon Harcourt, who Is re sponsible for the royal palaces, who had added to his Income by nuttlug bis high In fluence at the disposal of enterprising trades people, nnd who was lectured very severely n private by the king. Another gentleman who spent a very un comfortable hour with the king was Colonel Klugscote, paymaster of the royal house hold and gentleman of the cellars, with an official residence In 8t. James palace, who had been accepting tips nnd commissions from a well known champagne Ann for pushing tho sale of Its bruml among high society. Lord Knnllys. the king's private secre- iry, who is associated with various flnnn- nl ventures, and who was Involved In the Yecent Siberian gold field smash, also came In for a reprimand, but told the king that, as his official iucome Is-small and his poal- tlon lu society requires him to be n liberal spender, lie had to do something to muke both ends meet, / That Russian revolutionists are receiving their ammunition from England is the amusing discovery made by tho English po lice. Vast stores of' ammunition have l»een seized at Newcastle* and there is evidence of vast traffic In this kind of eontralutnd.
