READY MADE FAMILIES

sure will be brown and he has such qauint little turned-up nose"
 This preference for girls is rather surprising in view of the worlds gen. eTal partiality toward ooys, and is one of the many inexplicaole features or the adoption business. Anothe~ is inS curious manner in which some child ren, and even infants, appear to at tract different people winning them for their parents in spite of their oo- vious ineligibili-y. For instance, it Is not at all unusual to have a couple visit an agency with a fell-defined idea of just what they want in the way of d child There is a widespread de- mand for curls, and to this may be added several other specifications such as a straight nose, well-Set ears and long eyelashes. But almost without exception they end by adopting some little waif who does not fit the picture at all, but who has won them over by a few timid advances. The matrons who have been engaged in this work for some time say that they never at tempt to force certain children upon certain applicants. but leave it to the law of natural selection, which oper- ates in adoption as well as other TO- mantle matters.
 .tOne time I was notified by a very wealthy New York woman that she wanted to adopt a little boy. who had golden hair. blue eyes, and straight sturdy back" said a woman official of the City Charities office, the other morning, her eyes .twinkling as she related her various experiences He was to be anywhere from five to ten years old I knew of one such little boy whose cherubic countenance an- swered the even more detailed de- scription which came later so I had him dressed in a new suit and sent up to the great lady's house.
 T was immediately called on the telephone and showered with praise for my wise choice. so that I went about for the next few days feeling exceedingly pleased with myself for having started one little boy on the road to wealth. Alas, a week later, the boy was returned as unsatisfactory. Again 1 was summoned to the phone, and this time a fearful voice asked me how l expected it to keep an uncouth little Scoundrel who turned the hose on dear F'ido, slid down the banisters, and threw his pretty new Fauntleroy collars out the window.
 After that I gave up sending C. O. D. orders. The same boy, however was later placed with a couple who were blessed with greater humor, and who permitted the child's normal per sonality to assert itself. They chose him not because of his golden hair and seraphic smile, but because they liked him-a fact which the boy seemed to sense and appreciate.
 "Of course, the matter of coloring is pretty important to the prospective parents, you know. If they want a

NEW YORK-The adoption of children has become such a popular pastime in New York this season that the demand, especially for infants. is threatening to exceed the supply. Peo- pie must have acquired the adoption habit during the war, the city author 1ties think, for never before has there been such an amazing run on the orphan market. Not only are would be foster parents springing up in all parts of the state. but requests for orphans are being received from points as remote as Alaska and Texas. In fact, New York appears recently to have become regular clearing house for orphans and foundlings. the ma Jority of whom are sent to residents of other sections of the country.
 If you set out to adopt an orphan these days with the pleasant idea that you are -conferring a favor upon so- ciety in general and upon the orphan in particular, you are quickly diSil- Iusioned in the beginning of your search. The competition is so keen. Call at any of the children'S agencies in New York. and you will find Sev- eral individuals there ahead of you, eager to adopt, and patiently enduring the inspection and interviewing of the agency's officials. At the headquart- CTS of the City Charities Department in the municipal building it is the same. They have on an average a dozen applicants for adaptable children every day, ranging from Fifth avenue heireSSes to colored dressmakerS, 50 that while your offer to relieve them Of an infant charge will be appreciated if you are the right sort of person, it will by no means create a. sensation.
 Furthermore, if your demand is for a baby girl, it is quite likely to be re- fused for the reason that the stock is exhausted. 'I am sorry, but we haven't any just at present" the matron will inform you sympathetically. but how about a nice little baby boy? You hadn't considered adopting a boy? Why, thought most people preferred them. We have one listed nova cunning little fellow only two months old-really quite a beauty iu his way, abandoned by his mother Would you care to see him?' And so inspiring is the sudden enthusiasm of the natron for baby boys, and especially for this baby boy, that you are con
 vinced he is quite the prize of the col
 lection, and after that there is little change of your refusing him.
 But. after you have departed the matron will very likely turn to her assistant and say, Isn't U strange they all want girls? l thought l would never be able to persuade that couple to take little Charlie; their minds were so made up about adopting q girl They wanted one with the ccgu- lation blue eyes and infan:IIe sugges- tion of curls, while Charles eyes I'm

SUSPICIOUS ACTIOII IF ONE NEGRO LEADS
 TO ARREST IF FOUR

As the result of suspicious actions on the part of Mcse Brown. negro, last Saturday night, he and three other negroes are in the county jail in de- fault of heavy bonds, after being ar raigned before Judge Wheeler yester- day afternoon.
 When police officer Williams noticed Nose Brown lowering around the Phoenix Seed and Feed store on Sec ond street last Saturday night, he be- gan to investigate. Going back into the alley, he found where q side door had been opened. Just as he put his hand on the handle a dark form shot out past him. When the fleeing man failed to stop at the officers command. Williams began firing. This attracted the attention of other officers in the neighborhood and the chase led for several blocks when the officers found the man in the bed of an automobile truck trailer. At the police station he gave his name as James Kent.
 Captain Sutherland and Officers McGrath, Papo, McC!oud and Williams then began a search for Nose Brown, whom Kent claimed was acting as d lookout for him while he entered the store. While the men were working on the case, Herman Johnson, negro. came to police headquarters and asked why Kent had been arrested. After questioning Johnson concerning his in- terest in Kent, the officers placed him under arrest and conducted him to the place where he roomed on East Wash ington street.
 There they found w. NJ Daniels. ne- gro. who has been working as porter at Goldberg'S store. The officers also found large assortment of fine wear ing apparel, which included IT pairs of mems shoes. Later the officers found Nose Brown at his room, and also a young negro who has been working as a porter in a barber shop. At this place the officers found a generous quantity of massage cream. cold cream and other tonsorial requisites. Both negroes were placed under arrest
 When arraigned before Judge Wheeler yesterday Nose Brown and James Kent each was charged with burglary and their preliminary hear ing set for May II. Bond was fixed at s1,000. w. M. Daniels and Herman Johnson were charged with grand larceny and preliminary hearing set for May 10. Bond was fixed at s600 The young barber shop porter was turned over to the juvenile probation officer.
