THE CRY OF THE
 LONELY WOMAN

To the woman who is wife but has not known motherhood, to her who treads the path of life alone, and to the mother whose arms are bereft by the grim reaper of that which she has deemed most precious, there is a mes sage in the experiences of four foster mothers as told in the August DeIine ator.
 There are millions of these women millions of homes to which no child has ever come, millions who have remained unwed, who have alive within them the maternal love which yearns for it's ful- filment There are thousands of homes that death has left lonely, where the mother whose arms are empty mourn her loss.
 Yet within their reach is hanniness happiness in the breadth and depth of life told in every line of these four sto- ries.
 'rhere is no life for woman without children, says one foster-mother And contrasting the life of the woman whose days are empty and whose life is pur- poseless, who grows old and fretful and weary for the lack of something to fill out her existence, with the depth and sincerity and joy of these women who have adopted motherhood as a profess sion, 1t would seem that she is right.
