how miss gould beheld them A man who met and talked with her often ofte aad who came home filled with reverence for her personality said to the writer helen gould is not the woman one would pick out in a crowd her features are plain except when she smiles when her whole face is illuminated she is ot of medium height quite slim and her clothes though of of costly material are made with rigid simplicity she wears no jewelry I 1 think the only thing of that kind I 1 ever saw sa w upon her was a plain gold bana ring her hair is dark brown brushed back perfectly plain her eyes are of a nondescript color the hazel shade predominating she has what I 1 would call a thin complexion that of a recluse who cared little for out of door life her voice Is low and musical and she has the sweetest smile I 1 ever saw it lights up all her countenance and her teeth are perfect f in conversation she is very practical TO her a spade is a spade a pick a pick and black is black she is businesslike and goes straight to the point in whatever she is saying there is none of that idle foolish talk chicly so many women seem to think that men like and which men pretend tend to though they dont she is well read especially in current events and the sciences any scientific work of worth is sure to have her interest and no newspaper is too obscure to be disregarded by her if it contains anything of real re al value she isi Is a great lover of the masses and believes in practically helping them that is she advocates advocate better tenements clean streets and surroundings to her mind a bath a clean room and a pleasant outlook will do clo more to christianize a poor child than all the preaching and psalm singing on the streets she is a worker in true charitable ways but she he does not go slumming neither does she do what is often called reform work no she does not look very young and I 1 be surprised if she never marries she somehow loolu that kindard kind kin dand and I 1 believe she is striving to make her dead fathers father name represent to the world all that it always did to her her presence is most dignified but her speech is democratic by that I 1 mean that her good morning to the colored bell boys in the hotel was wag precisely the same as her salutation to any of her aristocratic aristocrat le friends this is a flowing word picture of the Ame america woman patriot whose name may go down in history alongside that of florence nightingale aad who has shared her fortune with her coun 1 not only as a matter of duty but of lT larn rn and delight |
