mo CHARITY BY u. S."
HITS FLOWER MISSION
Gifts to Hospitals End a.
Free Expressdge Stops.

A group of gentle. motherly women
who for many years have been directing
the distribution of flowers to the sick in
hospitals and In the tenement districts
through the New York Flower Mission,
104 East Twentieth street, are grieved
because OF a ruling OF the Railroad Adj
mlnlstration which has forced them to
close their work for the season.
The Flower Mission. established in
1870, has sent its cheerful gifts without
charge through the courtesy of the big
express companies. 1t was supposed
when the Government took over the rail-
roads and the express companies that the
practice would be continued. but an
agent raised the question and ruling
was made necessary.
Officers of the mission were informed
several days ago that the Government Is
not prepared to deal In charity and no
packages can be accepted for delivery on
which the fixed charges have not been
paid. The expense OF sending thousands
Of perishabl shipments OF flowers
throughout the season was too much for
the mission.
Members of tho organization are not
the only ones disappointed. Nurses In
city hospitals know what will be missed
by patients who cannot buy flowers. and
social workers In heated tenements will
know that a certain freshness will not
brighten otherwise drab and cheerless
sick rooms this summer.
