Buchanan. Shortly after their arrival
they went on n special car to the Y. NJ.
C. a. building at the Reservoir. All the
men not on duty gathered at the club
house to bid her n welcome. She met
number Of them, and then expressed
desire to take a snapshot Of the group.
Sho was very thoughtful, however. and

want to be Included, need not hesitate to
say So She realized that many people
do not like to be photographed.
II do not like 1t myself" said Miss
Gould.

Miss Gould expressed herself as being
delighted with Richmond She seemed
very much pleased with the condition
Of the Y. M. c. A. work here, and will

are the employees Of her brother.
The Railroad Department Is one OF the
beneyolences OF Miss Gould. 1t has not
been definitely stated what amount Of
money she will give to It, but the build
ing will BIO thoroughly equipped. Ac7
