of the building recently erected at Gov

Hardly second I'm the public eye of the
capital this week is Miss Helen Gould,
who, with her sister-in-law, Mrs Edwin
Gould. is making us a brief visit. She
comes not for the social favors that are
being showered upon her, but in the in
terest of the international Woman's
Auxiliary of the Y. NJ. c. A. in
the army and navy. The Secre-
tary of War and Mrs. Root issued num-
erous cards of invitation to a morning re-
ception in her honor, at which it was
expected she would give a little talk along
the line of her favorite charity among
our soldiers and sailors. Perhaps $50 peo-
plee assembled in the hospitable home of
the Roots-some of them, no doubt drawn
thither by curiosity to see the heiress
who is such a shining contrast to her
younger sister. Those who had never seen
her before were speedily dispossessed of
the mental photograph they had brought
along, of the typical, strong minded
aggressive and meddlesome spinster; ana
beheld instead very graceful, retiring
little woman, approaching middle age
with the gentlest manner and the sofest
voice imaginable. She was about the most
quietly dressed lady in the room Her
black silk gown fitted her petite figure
to perfection and its severe plainness
was relieved only by slashings which
disclosed q foundation of cream lace about
the throat and yoke. She wore a small
hat of black velvet with one cream-col-
ored ostrich feather in 1t; and not single
jewel was in sight
