When Mrs. George Gould Was Young.
Mrs. George Gould is a young lady
whose girlhood did not give much fore
cast Of the position which she fills today.
Mrs. Gould was Miss Edith Esngdon,
and she early evinced a talent Tor the
stage. When she was still child she
thought and dreamed Of the great things
she was going to do and the triumphs
she was to achieve. Her parents object
ed to her desire and discouraged her in
every possible way, but fate interpose6,
and through death and the necessity for
making money she accepted her first
position in very subordinate capacity.
She worked very hard and conscien-
tiously, and as she was intelligent and
painstaking as well as very pretty, with
large appealing eyes and a sweet, sensi-
tive face, and had undeniable ability,
she rapidly rose in the profession, and
though she did not reach to any very
exalted position there was every reason
to suppose she would i'll few years.
She was very young. not over Is, when
Mr.. George Gould first saw her, and he
fell in love with her, and with the quiet
persistency Of his nature set about win
ming her love in return. The young girl
was modest and doubtful of her own at
fractions, and for long time Mr.. Gould
feared that money could not buy every
thing, but at last she consented and they
were quietly married, and her prosperity
is as great as her merit.
She now has home next door to that
of her father-in-law, who is very fond Of
her and her two splendid little boys. |
wonder if in her palace home she ever
thinks of the struggle for life made BY
the brave young actress who almost lit
orally lived on one meal day, and who
made and mended her own frocks for
the sake of earning an honest living.
