BABY Gets a Homo Through the Sophin
BrauenIich Fund.
Mrs Sophia Brauenlich, who died
recently in New York, left part OF
her estate as a fund by means of
which infant girls of New York city
might be provided with homes in the
country. Mrs. Brauenlich was firm
believer in the transmission of the vir-
tues or vices of the parents to their
children and in order to remove the
offspring of the vicious from contain
mating influences she established this
fund The first child to receive the
benefits of this fund was sent to a
home in New Jersey last week. She
and her mother had lived for weeks on
crackers and water and the mother
gladly gave up her child upon assur-
ance that she would be we'll cared for
The mother is related to good family
but her marriage was distasteful to her
parents and she was disowned. She
Is now in the last stages of consump-
tion and will be cared for until the
end comes, which cannot be long de-
layed The Sophia Brauenlich fund
has been increased by other donations
and will soon be OF such dimensions as
to enable the society having its con-
troll to care for nearly a hundred
friendless little ones. For each girl
sent out there is fund put away at
interest until she is 18 years old. so
that in case anything should happen
to her foster parents she will be pro-
vided for. There now is in Hasbrouck
Heights home waiting for little
girl that shall be found by the Sophia
fund to answer all requirements.
Meantime the fund is paying for tie
support Of beautiful Brooklyn hnby,
who Is with its impoverished mother
until the poor woman can bring her
self to the point Of giving up ner
child.
