CUPID is BUSY
Among Wards of Kansas Chill
dren's Home Society.
Many Interesting ROmances
Reported by Management.
in OPERATION TWENTY YEARS
Society Has Found Homes for
Hundreds of Children.
Demand for Youngsters Is
Greater Than the Supply.

The wards of the Kansas Children's
Home society with headquarters in To-
peka are not proof against Cupid s
darts. Seven hundred of them have
reached the susceptible age, and no
small percentage have already sue
stumbled to the missiles in question.
There have been some interesting
romances that would make good ma
terlal for the novelist. And father
has played no part in the transaction
in cases where young iadies-wards of
the Soclety-have been courted. AS a
matter of fact father nowadays
doesn't as rule figure seriously al
prevail is asked in such cases. How
ever, the wards of the Kansas Child
ren's Home society show their loyalty
by asking the advice of the officials
of the organization.
Just the other day a ward of the So
ciety married a railroad man and is
now living in an attractive home in a
suburb of Denver. Living in North
Topeka is a young married couple
both the young man and young woman
were wards of the society. They lived
on adjoining farms. A friendship re-
suited. and the conclusion was finally
reached that the farms were by a long
way too far apart.
In Operation Twenty Years.
The Kansas Children's Home society
has DeeH OO1nS a good work for the
last twenty years, and the wards show
their appreciation of what the organ
1zatlon has done for them in the way
of providing for their welfare.
There seems to be misunderstand-
ing relative to the work of the society
according to the superintendent, D. F.
Shirk. The object. he says, is to pro-
vide Christian homes for normal chill
dren, and not to maintain an orphans
home. In the opinion of the manage
ment there is no other place so well
fitted for the proper development of
children as a private home.
A receiving home is maintained to
which children are taken temporarily
while arrangements are being made
for placing them in private homes. At
the present time there are but three
children in the receiving home, and
they will probably be placed within
few days. Five times as many requests
for children are received by the so
ciety as are received asking the or
ganization to place children in fami-
lies. A large number of children who
are taken by the district superinten-
dents are placed directly and are not
sent to the receiving home.
Superintendent Shirk went to Will
son county Thursday to investigate
case where the child is reported to
have been abused. He will spend
Sunday in that district in the interests
of the society.

well-known band masters and musical
directors. His entire organization is
composed of colored players. He
