VALENTINE BABY
FUTURE CLOUDED
Woman, Said to Haze Con.
Spired for Infant, Changes
Mind.

Who wants a wee baby girl with blue
eyes, q few auburn hairs and perfect
health and who has learned to COO in
gurgly fashion at the tender age Of 10
days?
Several prospective parents have vol
unteered but the precious prize has not
been awarded.
1t is the Valentine baby" who needs
home. She is the daughter Of 17-year-
old school girl of a small Illinois town
and was left on the doorstep Of the W.
f. Draper home 3715 East Michigan street
Thursday night. Since then 1t has been
learned that Mrs. Draper conspired with
the mother of the child to have it left
at the door.
Mr.. Draper, who is many years his
wife's senior, says they can not assume
the responsibility OF raising the little one
Mr.. Draper has been married before and
has two grown children. Mrs. Draper Is
in her early twenties.
Baby Valentino has demonstrated her
ability to subsist on artificial baby food
and is in fourishing condition, nurses
at the Indianapolis Orphans Home say
Officers of the Juvenile court are puzzled
over certain legal aspects Of the baby's
presence at the Orphans Home. Since the
mother is not q resident of Indiana it is
not legal to care for it with Marion coun-
ty funds. On the other hand to send il

would prove embarrassing to the mother

The mother is living at the home OF
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Jinnett, 2031
East New York street. She was found
there by Miss Elizabeth Whiteman and
Miss Irene Byers, policewomen, who
traced her through a birth certificate fled
at the City hall Valentine day.
The mother IS a high school girl and
her appearance and conversation give
evidence Of refinement. She has always
lived with her mother who is separated
from her father.
Mrs. Jinnett told the policewomen that
the child was advertised for adoption last
Tuesday. Nine letters came in answer to
the advertisement. Mrs. Draper wrote
that she had been longing for a baby and
had wished one might be left at her door
step. Later she called at the Jinnett
home and 1t was arranged that the baby
would be left at her home on Thursday
night. Mrs. Draper hoped her husband
would consent to an adoption under such
circumstances.

growth, 1t was said at the Orphans
home and seems not displeased with the

home comely and healthy infant is en-
titled to.

coming in through Ambrose channel
from the open recently, bucking a hard
northwesterly gale, grounded in the SIT

on the bridge and a Sandy Hook pilot
was directing the course. Neither felt
himself responsible for the grounding,
which occurred with so little shock tdat
none of the 1853 passengers was aware
that anything out of the usual had nap
pened.
A phenomenally low tide, due to the
fierce northwester, had made the fair

ment when the pilot was about to turn
out into deeper water the steering gear
became deranged and the nose of 'he
Oscar II snuggled into the shoal of the
east side of the channel near the turn
that leads into the narrows.
The pilot sent swift signals to the
engineer and the propellers were re
versed full speed. But the tide was
still falling and the gale bowling at a
sixty five mile rate. and all that the skip
per and pilot could do was TO send "a
wireless call for tugs and wait for the
rising Of the tide. The tugs came and
the ship. without scratch, was released
and proceeded TO Quarantine under her
own steam.
Capt Schmidt said he regretted that
his first visit to New York as a com
mauder Of the scandinavian American
line had led him TO berth nearly four
hours Off the Hook, but that he had no
