Governor Flower's Wife

Mrs. Roswell P. Flower's charities cos her an average of $350 a week. The Keep institute, corner of ïhird avenue and Twenty-third street; the Flower hospital, corner of Avenue A and Sixty-third Btreet; the Boys' club in the St. Thomas Mission chnrch, East Fifty-ninth street, and the Old People's home in Watertown, N. Y., are in constant receipt of her patronge and visits. Although her name appears on the list of patroneases for all sorts of objects, she never attends. Mrs. Flower is as shy as a schoolgirl. Her modesty has kept her from facing the camera. The only picture ever made of her was a crayon, which the governor insisted should be hang np. Mrs. Flower compromised by turning the face to the wall. A portrait is being painted of her now by an Albany artist.;
