Miss Gould a glimpse of the Sanity
City-wore a badly fitting, white shirt
waist and a sleezy gray skirt that had
undoubtedly seen more prosperous days
The skirt cleared the ground a couple
of inches. Stout, square-toed boots
matched the sensible white sailor, the
sort that may be purchased almost any
summer day on the ninety-nfne cent bar
gain counter Of department store.
There might once upon a time have been
a suggestion of frivolty in the pale blue
ribbon that ornamented the collar of the
white shirt waist, but yesterday it was
faded and bedraggled. But no doubt it.
would be foolish TO expect frivelty from
a young person who is always Mary
Clark in parentheses. Those parenthe-
ses, somehow, take away individuality
and it's the way Mary Clark's name al
| ways appears on hotel register, or on
| any other book where it is necessary that
her autograph should repose underneath
that Of her famous mistress.
Like maid, like mistress is a truism that
finds no exception in the case of Miss
Helen Gould and her maid Just as there
Is common sense, or, rather, downright
plainness in the maid so there is an ut
ter absence of frills or frumpery in the
mistress. Miss Gould is small, rather
delicately formed woman, with face
that might be pretty but that its owner
apparently, prefers it to be fine 1t has
an exquisite contour, soft and rounded
as a childs The chin is firm, the mouth
sensitive and womanly, the eyes frank
and very direct of gaze. 1t is the face
of a good woman rather than clever
woman. One finds that same firmness
with its suggestion of idealsm in the
faces of the mothers of great men.
st. Paul people had very little chance
of seeing Miss Gould yesterday With

not returning to st. Paul until o'clock
IN the afternoon. Miss Gould rested in
her room from that time until shortly af-
ter O'clock when the party entered car
riages that were waiting for them and
drove to the station They left the CITY
at 6:55 on the Milwaukee.
Miss Gould exits and entrances from
and into the Ryan caused little attention
yesterday. Although Sixth street is al
ways busy thoroughfare at O'Clock
and although there was the usual stream
of people passing up and down Robert
and Sixth streets, Miss Gould got into
her carriage and drove away without
apparently arousing the slightest shade
OF interest from any of the crowd. 1t
might nave been ignorance of her ident-
lty, or 1t might have been real indiffer-
ence. but no doubt the lack of attention
was gratifying to Miss Gould who has
always stunned any sort of notoriety
In Minneapolis yesterday morning Miss
Gould addressed the Y. NJ c. A fnterna-
tional committee in behalf of soldiers and
sailors which was in session at the home
OF Mrs. II. G. Harrison. Miss Gould's
remarks were wholly informal but none
the less impressive, for the deep interest
which she felt In the subject lent eio-
quence and force to her words and es-
pecially to Illustrations drawn from her
own knowledge Of conditions
The attendance had been carefully re-
strleted In issuing the invitations and
the seventy-five guests were nearly all
seated in the large parIor at 1890, when
Miss Gould and her party arrived from
81. Paul on Mr.. Lowry's private car, es-
corted by Mrs. Harrison and Mrs Lowry
who went down to meet them Accom-
panytng Miss Gould were her guests, Mrs.
Palen and Miss Palen, of Philadelphia
an aunt and a cousin of Miss Gould; Miss
Edwards and Miss Gould's secretary. Mr..

Miss Gould was greeted with ripple
of applause. She said:

Miss Gould went on then to give in the
brfefest way the evolution of the work
for soldiers and sailors which was dis
tinetly emergency work at first. When
the urgent demand ceased the women
had learned the conditions and 1t seemed
pity to let slip the opportunity to oc-
cupy an INTENDED territory This led to
the arrangements for putting the work
on permanent basis. Miss Gould refer
red to the friendlessness, lack of means
and loneliness Of the soldiers and sailors
who especially need friends and Christian
influences. She gave some graphic little
pictures Of the state of things in the
army camps and at the navy yards. She
pronounced the work practical. and re-
minded the women that they would be
doing for their own in this work. for even

one realized till the Spanish war what
could be done for these men, concluding
by saying, Zone person can do little. bIft

party, remained with Mrs Harrison for
