Believe in Active Service For The
Benefit Of Humanity"

New York, Aug. 14.-Mrs. Will
liam Sulzer, who has become next to
her husband, the governor, the most
interesting figure at Albany, is known
among her friends as simple, sin
cere, practical, resourceful woman.
Although the written record of her
comings and goings is meagre, there
is ample testimony to her worth and
strength of character in the words of
the many visitors who have fro
quented the SulZer home in n. Y,
in Washington, and in "The Peoples
House" al Albany.
Mrs. Sulzer has been first of all
q home maker. At the time of her
husbands election to the governor
ship the story was told of a great
friend of the Suffers who went with
his wife to the home at IT'S Second
Avenue for dinner. A
AS The time for the serving of the
meal approached the friends noticed
that Mrs. Sulzer was extremely ner-
vous. She disappeared into the kit
chen, and finally dinner was served,
a fine meal, the guests thought. II
developed later that new maid had
spoiled the original dinner and that
Mrs. Sulzer had cooked a new meal
herself.
The governors wife became famous
as a cook and hostess in Washington,
where splendid cooks and hostesses
abound
Mrs. Sulzer is still head cook" now
that she is the lady of The Peoples
House." and does not allow her eight
servants to usurp her prerogatives
in the kitchen.
Mrs. Sulzer once said in Washing
ton to an interviewer that she be-
longed to the school of women who
believe inactive service for the bene-
fit OF humanity" She put this belief
into active practice when she was
only eighteen years old and still Miss
Clara Ro6elheim, of Philadelphia.
She left high school and entered the
Presbyterian Hospital sat Chicago as
a nurse.
Later she took a course at the
Graduate Nurses College at Columbia
and was eventually made assistant
superintendent Of Mount Sinai Hos
pital. She was at the New York Hos
pital in 1907 when she first met VIM.
Sulzer The Congressman was inves-
tigating the city hospitals with a
party of friends and tits said that ne
