holding in her arms a doll that looked
like her twin sister. sat on a chair
threo times too high for her in the
main office of the Children's Society,
Fourth Avenue and Twenty third
street waiting for attention. How
long she waited nobody knows but II
was late in the evening Of Aug. II
when she was discovered. She lifted
a dainty hand 10 her mouth and
yawned.
Dolly sleepy" she said, too polite
70 mention her own drowsinesa 90
they put her to bed with the doli and
tried TO find out who she was. They
haven't succeeded yet but there are
two clues.
The first is that fact that at about
10 o'clock on the same evening the
child and the doll. accompanied by n
well dressed. soft speaking woman,
had appeared at the socletys annex
In. West Twenty-tdird Street The
woman asked permission to leave tho
child overnight and was advised TO
apply at the main offico in Fourth
Avenue. That was the last seen OF
the woman, but II Is assumed she
went to the main office, deposited
the child on the chair and slipped
away. She carried q suitcase.
The second clue developed yester-
day when the society received the
following unsigned letter:
Dear Sir: The child that was left
at your Office, you know. the writer
would like you to put her In the New
York Founding Asylum until she can
hnd a place to board her. The ono

so she can go there and get her when
she can. She will pay her board. too"
The society officisls are convinced
that the letter was written by another
person than the woman who brought
the child. They also believe the
woman who brought the child is not
the mother.
