Children Join the Work of
Child Rescue.


The great mother-heart of America s
good women has responded nobly to
the appeal of the homeless child.
With it have responded the hearts of
the happy children of loving parents
offering, in their sympathy for the
little brothers and sisters whose
stories have been told, their play
things, their money, and share in
their most precious Professionalism
mothers love.
Among the letters that come daily
ia The Delineator Office, there is al
most sure to be one in a childish
hand, sometimes printed letter by let
Ter upon wofully crooked lines drawn
by chubby fingers, breathing in every
labored effort the tenderness and
sympathy of a loving heart. "Want
a little brother or sister," This is
the cry of the little one. And, through
The Delineator, the appeal has been
answered.
Tony and Fritz found their new
homes through the plea of a boy and
girl who wanted brothers; Marion
went to d little girl who needed a sis
ter; while Jack s foster brothers assure
US that they would not take hundred
dollars for him.
There is a pathos about the home
with but one child that is akin to the
tragedy of the home that is childless.
And the child who is alone feels it
keenly. The plea, 81 want a brother, "
has opened way for hundreds of
homeless little ones.
