money, learned to write on type

every week. We brought flowers.
We wept. We were loyal. But the
springtime changed things. Helene

is a striking blonde. They have for

month they accompanied me at least
once, but / saw that they did it

Afterward they came because they

"But one day Helene answered
oh, you bore me- 1t was in May
and the lilacs were in bloom. I told
Renee and Marie. They took my side

Helene had abandoned. The next

dead and poor shriveled flowers!
There is so much springtime in the
life Of a young girl!
"And your comrade, monsieur, did
you love him well?"
The rain had ceased, swept away
by the gale. I told her the story Of
my little soldier. The poor girl told
me the story of the four little chas-
seurs.
II shall never abandon them," l
said to her.
"Thank you," she cried. eve

men are better than we are"
Then she got to her feet. She is
really homely. I went with her to
the station. / accompanied her to
Paris. I took her address. But
when / went to see her didn't find
her. She was at the hospital. At
terward I visited her there.
"Well, you have been sick?"

And her glance seemed to travel
toward the distant cemetery.
Then she fumbled under her pillow
and drew out a humble purse.
"It's all that I have left, and its
for. them"

ing out, her forehead bullying. She
had an unhealthy appearance, yell
low complexion and hair without a
suggestion of poesy. But at that
moment there was certain poesy in
her expression.
II beg your pardon, monsieur. My
mind is a blank. Where am I? Ahl
It's the church in the cemetery. My

She was very young-not more
than twenty. i thought: "She is
already widow" Again she said:

"They were buried together, just
as they lived together. One Of them
was my fiance, and the other three
were engaged to my three girl
friends. We had known one another
since childhood. We were from the
same village. We were to be mar

graves without markings or decora-
tons. The fields near by the GENE
terry are cultivated. The hamlet ia
full Of life. The peasants pursue
their toll. They have rebuilt their
homes, but they haven't rebuilt the
church. Perhaps they don't want to

dren like to do things about the
home. That is, they are of the
type nearly every family wants as
a daughter. On the other hand,
some Of the little girls we get with
the best minds are not at all the
traditional daughter type. 1t is
difficult to find homes for them.

Orphans of School Age Usually
Selected Because Easier
To Care For

In spite Of the tendency to favor
little feminist daughters, q great
many business women have adopted
sons. These women make splendid,
companionable mothers for boys.
The business Of adoption is so per-
sonal that, except in such cases as
that Of Miss Rembaugh, when the
unmerciful hand Of politics turns
the searchlight into all the home COR
ners, the public knows very little Of
whether children are adopted from
outside or within the family. The
women who adopt children are loath
to tell whether they have taken the
care Of little nephews and nieces or
children from charitable institutions.
One Of New York's best woman
architects has adopted son. 1t is
conceded by many women of the
business world that the adoption of
children under school age is almost
impossible. In the case of this ar
! chitect that Is not true. She has
adopted a boy Of five years. She
keeps housekeeper for her apart
ment, anyway, and the "son" is in
the care Of the housekeeper all day
long.
The business cares and the de-
mands which a career makes upon a
woman's strength would limit modern
working women in their adoption Of
children much more than they do if
housekeeping and homemaking had
not been so simplified in the last few
years by the modern apartment.
Little apartment homes are the
Ravens of many business women. To
share that home with a child Of
school age is only another way Of
making the home complete.
The movement on the part of
bachelor men and women to adopt
children has been growing for some
time in England. 1t received i'm
pet1s during the war because of the
needs of war orphans and because
the country had begun to value its
children. The great loss Of life in
Europe made children more valu-
able.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, who
was in New York last week, ex-
pressed herself as very much in
favor of the adoption Of children
by bachelor mothers and fathers.
Her daughter, Christabel, has adopt
ed daughter. According to Mrs.
Pankhurst, Miss Pankhurst takes
this adopted daughter with her
wherever she goes. The little lady is,
Of course, a suffragist.
"Men as we'll as women have
taken a great interest in adopting
children in England" said Mrs.
Pankhurst; "they can take as much
care of their wards as fathers ordi-
narily do, and can have the super
vision of their education and the
pleasure of taking them on vaca-
tions.
"But business women ought to
adopt children where they are able.
It has been one Of the handicaps to
wolnen's careers that they were
compelled to sacrifice home life. All
women need normal home life, and
with the adoption Of a child or sew
eral children the business woman Of
to-day may have a real home. At
the same time she does great good

Probation for Parents
This matter of probation for the
parents as we'll as for the children
is insisted upon by the New York
State Charities Association. Manv
parents apply for children to adopt
who are wholly unfit for the respon-
slolllty, according to Miss Sophie
Theis, Of the Charities Association
The association takes the response
bility Of finding out all about the
families or would-be guardians that
ask to be permitted to take in chill
dren.
"Healthy children are always in
demand" said Miss Theis. "In
fact, we seldom have enough to 90
around. OF course, there are manv
sick and deficient children that come
to our attention that no one would
take. Many Of these children could
be salvaged If we could only arouse
an interest in them"

forward to fill the parts.
The large number Of business and
nrofessional women with man-size
alAries has been a subject Of COM
ment and even of boast by the Or
ganizers Of the Federation Of Bust
ness and Professional Women's
Clubs. There are possibly ten thou
sand business women in New York
whose weekly incomes are $50 and
morc. Indeed, moro than half Of
the number exceed $50 . week.
The accusation has been made
that the siren lure Of the sal
ary has drowned the still, small
voice Of motherhood. The women
in question are for the most part
Obvious to the condemnation cast
at them; oblivious, because their
conscicnces are clear. They have
done the work that their hands
found to do and only they them
selves know to what accompanying
pangs Of forfeited motherhood.
The Potential Mothers
Many of the business women
themselves are helping to adjust
the seeming unevenness of condi-
tons. Potential motherhood has
awakened and is claiming it's part
in the scheme of things. Star wom-
en- in the commercial field have dem
onstrated their interest in children.
Some Of them have legally adopted
sons and daughters; others have
contributed to the education and
support of children in need Of help.
In the course of her campaign for
city magistrate last fall the public
learned that Miss Bertha Rembaugh
mad an adopted daughter. Miss Rem
baugh's friends had, Of course, been
acquainted with the young lady for
some time. She is Julia Rembaugh,
the legally adopted daughter Of the
woman lawyer. No one is prouder
Of the relationship, merely legal
though it be, than Julia herself.
Julia Rembaugh is now fifteen
years old. Several years ago Miss
bertha Rembaugh, innately a person
with : sense Of responsibility to hu-
manity, took Julia to live with her.
