chair, Mrs. Gossow is working as a
waitress In the American Inn. Mrs
Gossow has been a teacher since she
was graduated from college. She is
especially interested in young girls who
are bread winners She has formed a
club in Wichita in which the ostensi-
BILE purpose is physical culture, but
which has for its real purpose the ele-
walton, instruction and Strengthening
mentally and morally. as well as phys
ically, of the young women Of the club
or class.
The Rev. Mr.. Gossow believes the
minister of the Gospel in order to
serve God and his fellow-man well
must understand his fellow-men. He
believes it is necessary for him TO
study those who are not in the church
as we'll as those who are in, and to
study them In the narrow and crook
ed walks of everyday life. He be-
lieves 1t necessary for a minister who
would truly help to understand the
trials and the temptations that beset
the path of what is known as the
common people, He believes in going
after and bringing in the one lost
sheep rather than in pampering and
petting the ninety and nine which have
not strayed. He believes in and has
faith in all mankind.
Mrs. Gossow shares his beliefs to the
fullest extent. and she has assumed TO
study her sex as her husband is study
ing his. They are doing their work
quietly. believing that the results will
be greater.
Thus it. is that he. the man of the
cloth, is wearing gray uniform, and
from early morning until late at night
is to be seen pushing his chair over
the grounds of the great universal ex-
position. He is of medium size, slight
of frame, with kindly blue eyes, that
are a trifie too serious. His manner
is quiet and retiring. He will cheer
fully give his patrons any informa-
ton they may ask. but he is always
looking, always studying. His mouth
and chin are hidden by a brown NOUS
tache and beard, but the set of the
jaws speaks a determination to accom-
plish whatever he has set about to do
His voice is low and pleasant, and his
speech slow and deliberate.
Thus II is that she. the ministers
wife, who might be the head of the
! sewing circle or of the Heathen's Aid
Society at home. is wearing a black
| uniform dress and white apron, and
| serving meals to people in a restau-
rant. She has a slender girlish fig
ure, bright, sparkling brown eyes and
a wealth of brown hair. Her voice
is soft and musical, her laugh is merry
and natural. Her manner is gentle
and refined.
She is always attentive to her GUS
toners and they wonder that one of
| her apparent refinement and education
| should be a waitress. They ask her
the why and the wherefore. She in
turn assures them that her profession
is honorable and honest and that her
part in life is as necessary as any 9TH
err, never once boasting that this is
not what 1 am: l am, just doing this
for experience" She bravely defends
her supposed 'lowly calling and her
| fellow-waitresses Her quiet manner
and dignity elevate her work.
1t is a strange undertaking for two
cultivated persons. and their very
earnestness in the work is giving them
success in it.
