DR.. Eva Harding. who is always
Tor the under dog. says there is another
side to the Incubator Baby story and |
tbat the foster mother. Mrs. Barclay,
deserves sympathy instead of the al
most UNIVERSAL condemnation which is |
given her in Kansas. Mrs. Barclay,Y1
says DIR. Harding, "nllrsed the baby |
faithfully through that trying first
year of her puny. uncertain life. She
took the baby in good faith a HELPLESS
founding, fotsam of the human sea,
and never dreamed that her assumed !
burden would be disputed. We learn |
to love through sacrifice and I have |
no doubt that the love of this foster |

er. That year of constant, devoted, |
anxious care gave the child hold on |
her heart that can never be loosened. |
No doubt the sense of Injustice, of |
which followed her deprivation |
of the child has strengthened the feel |

Jealous, as the mothers. There may, |
DR. deed. be much bitterness, and hatred |
for the mother whom. she feels, usurped !
the place she had earned by her love |
and care, mingled with her passionate |
devotion and need for the child. This |
IS not unnatural But when 1 hear peo- |
pie say that she should blot out the |
year in which that tiny. struggling will |
tc live was as truly dependent upon |
her. as ever unborn child was upon the |
mother who carried it next her heart. |
that she should satisfy her longing -C- |
this particular child with a substitute, |
] say it is a mighty difficult question |
to decide haphazard- Anyway, re- |
fuse to condemn the foster mother, |
or to believe that motherhood of a |
woman who willingly and deliberately |
takes upon herself the responsibility /
of an adopted child is less divine than |
natural motherhood. A normal woman |
loves her own taby as naturally as
she breathes or eats or performs any
other purely physical function. Nature |
makes the task of caring for it a sim |
pie, selfish, qualification. The care of |
the child in it's infancy by the mother |
is natures stern provision for the pre- |
of the race. woman de- |
serves no especial credit for loving and |
