The combination of bright sunny skies
and balmy weather caused an entire change
OF the plans Of Miss Helen Gould yesterday.
Her intention Of taking complete rest for
two days was entirely forgotten and from
early morning till late at night she vas
busy seeing the city and visiting friends
Shortly after 10 o'clock, Miss Gould made
her appearance at the entrance TO the Grand
Avenue Hotel and entered the Northrop
carriage. With her were Mrs. Hendrick
and Miss Anna Hendrick. her travelling COM
panions on the present Western trip.
In some manner the fact that Miss Gould
would attend morning service had become
generally known and from early hour
numbers of people made ii a point to stroll
leisurely back and forth patiently await
ing an opportunity for sight of the
famous little New York woman
Their vigil. however, was only partly
awarded as Miss Gould hastily entered the
carriage and the driver lost no time in
whiriing the vehicle rapidly away.
An equally large gathering saw Miss Gould
alight at the Lindell Avenue Methodist
more restrained. although many a covert
glance was sent in her direction as she
walked rapidly up the aisle to the Northrop
pew.
Doctor Daniel Dorchester, Jr.. pastor of
the church. had chosen subject for his
morning discourse that was extremely hap
py. ana Miss Gould was an attentive lis
tener throughout the sermon.
He spoke on the need of more conscience
in private and public life, taking his text
from Acts xiv 10: Herein do I exercise
myself to always have a conscience void of
ofiense toward God and toward men,
AT the end Of the service Miss Gould held
an Informal reception In the rotunda of the
church. where she renewed acquaintance
formed on her former visit to ST. Louis and
made many new ones
The drive back TO the hotel was made
rather ctrcuitous In order to allow Miss
Gould to see as much of St Louis as possi-
bic before entering upon her duties as
member-at-large of the Board of Lady Man.
ayers Of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
took short rest and after dinner which
was served In her private dining-room. an
nounced that she had determined upon an
outing by which she could gain a better
impression of the city of st. Louis and St
Louis persons than on any of her previous
trips.
Accompanied only by her travelling COM
panions and her bodyguard Miss Gould
boarded a Grand avenue car about o'clock
in the afternoon and did not return until
after l.
During this time a great deal of ground
familiar with ST. Louis from a street car as
she was with the same town from a car
riage when her excursion was brought to
close.
Miss Gould Immediately retired to her
quite and was not seen again until clock
when she was driven to the residence of her
cousins. Mr.: and Mrs Reid Northrop. No
3553 Westminster place. She returned early
In the evening and Immediately retired.
As many Of the members OF the Board
OF Lady Managers have arrived in st. Louis
IL is thought that an informal meeting will
be held this afternoon, at which q general
discussion will take place regarding the
Worlds Fair and the duties Of the board.
