 GIRLS AND ONE BOY

 preciate Good Places

They would appreciate a good home and in return for the protection and environment would be helpful in the duties that would ordinarily fall to a daughter of a household.
 Officer Brown is also endeavOring to place a well behaved, good looking, in telligcnt American orphan boy of about twelve years, in a good home. Whether or not any or all of these children are to be adopted would depend upon cir cumstances, this being a matter that could be decided upon in conference with Officer Brown and Judge Phillips MT.
