Helen Gould and
Her Benefactions

Reference was made a few days ago to the examplary and admirable characteris- tics Miss Helen Gould, daughter of the late Jay Gould, and the following addi- tional details from an exchange will be of interest to those persons who have ob- served the quiet beauty, consistency and elevated purposes of her life:
 According to those who know Helen Gould, her life has been as nearly ideal as may be in this vale of tears. Her father left 00,000 to her, and while she is not understood to be unduly close with her money, she has yet never been recklessly extravagant, so that there is every reason to believe that her fortune has increased rather than diminished since it was put in her hands. A great deal has been said concerning the various charities in which she has interested herself Perhaps the most engaging of these is her home for crippled children and fresh air farm at Tarrytown. The house on this farm is known as Woody Crest. It was the prop erty of the late Jay Gould, and is located about quarter of a mile from Lyndhurst, Miss Gould's country place. Clumps of pine trees stand not far from the house. shielding 1t from observation and furnish ing it's name.
 Those who have visited Woody Crest de- scribe 1t as one of the most beneficient private institutions to be found anywhere.
  ner to a lot of Bowery newsboys, and it is a question whether she or the boys en- loved the feast most.
 Like most sensible young women, Helen Gould is exceedingly fond of flowers. and the greenhouses on the Lyndhurst estate are marvellous to see. In the summer time flowers are made to blossom all about the place, but the work of the twenty garden CTS employed is by no means confined to Horticulture. They are all said to be skilled in the art of landscape gandenry, and by Miss Gould's direction they devote large portion of their time to the general beau tifcation of the grounds.
 Despite her gentleness and many wo- manly qualities, Helen Gould is an ardent Advocate of woman's suffrage. So true is this that while she hesitates to talk for publication on most topics, she has more than once spoken freely on this one: and when you come to think about it. there is nothing surprising that the present 7 -der of things, under which one of her s.. n. men can have voice in the government while she cannot, should seem incongruous to her.
 Miss Gould is as much in favor of mus cular femininity as she is of equal suff- rage. and one of her favorite forms of physical exercise is rolling ten-pins. The
