ing. There are institutions all over
the country where any one can find
just as lovable children as the adopt
ed son of Helen Gould Shepard, and
all one must give in return is guar
antee that the child will be treated
kindly and considerably.
At present one of the most admir-
able of charities is carried on by the
associations organized to find homes
for orphan children. The problem
of the institution-bred child would
be solved if there were more women
like Mrs. Shepard who would find
room in their homes and in their
hearts for the friendless, homeless
wait.
The usual excuse given by child
less folk against adopting some little
stranger is the question of inheri-
lance.
what if after we had brought the
child up, he should turn out to have
some terrible inheritance? Suppose
some tendency handed down to him
from his unknown parents should
crop outf"
OF course there is always this pos
sibility of inheritance.
And old wives can usually tell you
of a case they heard about from the
friend of a friend of theirs who adopt
ed a child of unknown parentage,
who was a perfect darling as a
child" but who showed his bad
blood" later by clipping with the Sec
ond girl" or robbing the apple orch
ard, or mayhap developing weak
lungs and showing the ingratitude OF
dying just when his foster parents
had brought him up to the point
where he might have returned some
of their kindness.
Surely adopted children may have
undesirable forebears whose bad

MAKING A HOME FOR THE wAIF.

There is always room in the linn
CUISINE for the Pomeranian; the PAM
pered chow, with every hair in his
rugged brown coat perfectly combed
and brushed, is never denied the
honor of sharing the seat beside the
chauffeur. The West Highland ter
rier never begs in vain to join his
mistress on her promenade, and
those new small anemic woolly white
CANNES that fashionable women seem
to favor most highly at the moment,
enjoy the sanctum of milady's bou-
doir or are tucked away cozily In her
muff when she goes shopping. Their
piquant little pointed faces peep out
as they are carried about as tenderly
as a real live baby.
One woman of wealth, however
has gone so far as to substitute the
real human baby for the beloved dog,
Having no children of her own, she
has even ventured to take little
stranger into her home, waif with
no pedigree, nameless until she gave
the child a place on her own distin-
guished family tree.
As every one knows this kind
hearted woman is Mrs. Finley J.
Shepard, known, until her marriage
a few years ago, as Helen Gould. As
a matter of fact, Mrs. Shepard is an
admirer of dogs, and she has not for
gotten the value of the faithful dog
companion in the life of her small
adopted son. But Mrs. Shepard does
not make the mistake of allowing the
four-footed pet to take the place in
her affections that rightfully belongs
10 the human child.
Dogs worth owning must be
bought, and a goodly price is
charged by breeders these days. But
children, babies, unfortunate waits

istence motherless, fatherless, and

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-02-16

New York, Feb. Marguerite
MuTtha and Samuel Jacobson, chief
actors in a drama which has stirred
up the whole country for weeks, are
now man and wife. The ceremony
was performed at the home of Mrs.
John R. Gregg, so W. S5th st.
Their marriage was made possible
when Justice Golf of the state SUI
preme court appointed guardians for
Jacobson, thus giving legal sanction
to the union.
This means that the unborn child
Of Marguerite Murtha, last week ap-
parently doomed to receive birth in a
penal institution, will have name.
It means that the child will live
with its parents in their own home
instead of being ''farmed out" accord
ing to law while the mother learns a
trade in PRISON.
Club women of the city who, with
the aid of newspapers (of which The
Day Book was one) consider Justice
COTS action as victory in the cam
paign for an equal standard of morals
and to this end have formed a per-
manent committee to carry on the
work beyond the Murtha case.
In Judge Mayo's court, prosecuted
by the Brooklyn Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, Jacob
son was declared incompetent to sup
port his child and the girl he had
wronged. Justice Golf sustained the
sentence by which the Murtha girl
was deprived of matrimony and head |
ed for a penal institution.
Jacobson has protested all along
that he wanted to marry Marguerite |
and signed statement to that effect. |
In appointing guardians Justice |
Golf did so because of scruples of |
Jacobson's parents, who refused to |
permit their son to marry because of |
a difference in religion.
(Fourteen wear old Marguerite |

because Samuel jacobson, the 20
year-old youth who betrayed her, was
not, in the eyes of the court, a fit
husband. The law has barred the girl
from the company and consolation of
her mother and sisters in a maternity
hospital. She is to become a mother
in April. Intercession of club women
secured the girls parole to them. A
storm. of protest swept the country
when it was realized that even this
did not open the Nay to marriage.
The move Of Judge Golf was the re-
suit. All along Jacobsen has cried
