WOULD A MOTHER EVER GIVE HER OWN CHILDREN AWAY
 TO HELP A FRIEND?

X few months ago the Woman : Home Companion published short story in which woman gave up her baby to friend Of hers who had been injured in a wreck and rendered incapable of ever having children of her own. The sacrifice was made voluntarily and without the recipient of the baby ever finding out who gave it to her.
 A married woman now writes to the June Womans Home Companion the following letter about this story:
 The idea of a woman giving her own newly born child to another wo- man as a. consolation prize. with the consent of the child's father. both parents understood to be people of good principles and good feelings, is. in my opinion, tomfool nonsense
 "I have been married over eighteen years, and have seven children. the youngest of whom is now three years old. I had at the time of my mar riage several very dear girl friends Che of these girls, whom I have known since l was three years old, has never married. Now do you think that. in the event of her meet ing with such an accident as the lame lady in the story, I would offer to give her one of my children? Not much! There have been times when. some of the children have been par tcularly eXasperating, when I have said and thought. Mercy. if I could only have a little peace! but as for deliberately giving one of them away only over my dead body will any one ever get one of mine. And even if by any miracle I were willing to do such a thing I'd like ot see you get their fathers consent to any such proposition Every last one of them he regards as the apple of his eye. and did from the day they were born.
