The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-08-08

neigh borhood Much was written dur
ing Jay Gouid's lifetime of the splendid
hot houses connected with his Irving
ton home. in which almost every
known kind of rare plants and flowers
were cultivated regardless of cost 1t
Is said that the famous fnancier used
70 smile grimly when compilmented
upon MS skill and taste in Horticulture.
AS matter OF fact, the multi-r1ilionaire
had very little to do with his conserva-
tories save to foot the bills He liked
flowers in negative sort OF way, as he
liked most things that his favorite did.
but he left the management of the flow
ers to his daughter and the expert hori-
culturist whom he employed
Miss Gould has always been more
quiet in her tastes than most young
women of large means 1t IS, and has
been, with them the lad to go In for
sports and games of almost all sorts
Yachting and coaching come first, and
less important methods of enjoyment
follow in their order. Miss Gould has
not as far as is known displayed pro-
fciency in any of those lines She is
q famous pedestrian and good horse
woman. Her retired life has made of
her somewhat OF student and she is
skillful musician. If she ever had lit
erary tendencies, as at one time her
father had, she has carefully concealed
the fact She is practically mistress
of her vast fortune, but it is not likely
to suffer at her hands. for she is said
to have as keen mind for business as
even her brother George now the head
OF the family and chief conservator of
the vast Gould interests
When not in rvington-on- the-Hud-
son, Miss Gould lives in the mansion
on Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh
street, in which her father in his life
time resided Her brother Edwin lives
in the adjoining house just around the
corner, and George Gould with his
family still further uptown 1t is
characteristic of this young woman
that she likes to have some one to care
for and in sense look after, While
she was budding into womanhood she
had an invalid mother and father in
the clutch of dread disease to claim
her attention and care. Besides, she
had her poor, who also entered into
her daily thoughts and work. Now
she still has the poor who are
ALWAYS with u.s. and she has besides
her younger brother Howard, who,
though developing into manhood, is
still not beyond the care of his elder
sister, who has in way always been
his protector and adviser, and who in
former days helped him out of more
than one small trouble. This brother,
has, however, developed into a bright,
manly fellow, who is in more ways
than one a credit to the elder sister,
who was also his guide and friend
Some Of the knowing ones in discuss
ing Miss Gould's coming debut are
somehow expecting that she will daz-
zle every one by the grandeur of her
costumes and by the magnifcence OF
her Jewels and all that. She could of
course afford to command the best that
Worth or anycther famous maker of fine
feathers for fine, or Indifferent birds,
could produce She could startle the
wealthy DANES of New York by a dis
plav OF diamonds when she comes
out But she is not that kind OF
woman. Those who will be present
when she makes her formal entrance
into society will see handsome young
woman, well balanced, well dressed
and well hammered. And it's odds in
favor of the statement, that the more
they see of her the more they will like
her; for as has been said she is mod
est, charming, womanly woman. And
that means good deal
