TWO MEN CUT IN AFFAIRS OF HONOR
Count Raymond de Castellane Has Right Arm Wounded in Sword Fight
One Duel Follows Quarrel in a Skating Rink and Another Caused by Letter
[Special Cable to The Call] PARIS, Nov. 26.— Two duels were fought this week by men who are prominent in Paris society.
In one Count Raymond de Castellane, a member of the family'which provided her first husband for Anna Gould wounded Count Jean de Lestang Parade in the arm. Both men are well known among Americans. They are constant attendants at the roller skating rink, which Americans frequent, society having adopted roller skating as its favorite fad this season. It was at this rink that the quarrel arose. Violent words led to an exchange of cards. The two counts met at the favorite dueling place under the Ferris awheel. Andre de Fouquleresi famous as a leader of germans, acted as second for Castellane. Though the affair supposedly had been kept secret, there was a small army of photographers on hand, who snapped the men in various poses as the combat progressed.
After a brief and lively interchange Count de Lestang Parade got a cut in the right arm and the duel was stopped.
The other duel was between Georges Casalla and Jean Marnold. It grew out of a letter published in a royalist newspaper. Marnold was wounded, in the sword arm. Then Rouseier Dorcierres, the director of the duel, who has served in that capacity for more than 100 "affairs of honor," declared that Marnold was in a condition of inferiority and refused to allow the duel to proceed.
