TON AND WILL REMAIN TO
GIVE THE "CoUNTY'S BIGGEST
FAMILY" ALL THE LOVE AND
ATTENTION or A REAL MA.
TERNAL PARENT.

This Is the story Of some little
motherless boys and girls whose love
for the head of the institution who
cared for them was so great that II
was impossible for her to leave them,
even when other duties summoned her
elsewhere. The boys and girls live at
the La Sale County Detention Home
and the matron Is Mrs, Carey Foster.
Judge Reck In the County Court
this morning announced that Mrs.
Foster had consented to remain on as
head OF the home. at least until the
latter part OF March, and II Is hoped
longer. Mrs. Foster rendered her
resignation as matron, to take effect
on Oct 10, when she felt the responsi-
bility as head Of the home was too
greta for her and that she was needed
IN other quarters
On the date her resignation was to
take effect Mrs. Foster left the home
and started making plans. to establish
a residence In Ottawa. The home
board, feeling that they might be able
to get her to reconsider and remain
there, had not employed another mat
ron. Then nightfall came on, and as
the shadows gathered over the city
Mrs. Foster thought of her family at
the home, which IL larger than any
other Ottawa woman can boast OF.
They were the only Riddles she had
ever owned, and she remembered the
many little motherless tots who came
to her nightly for goodnight hug
lyta ne tha
taneous love the little tots had
given her, how they came to her with
their minor hurts and with their mes
sageS of love
The kiddies won. Early the mex.
morning the door OF the Detention
Home opened and Mrs. Foster walked
in Taking off her hat and coat, she
announced to Mrs. Mclaughlin, the
assistant matron. that she had come
back to aid in the care of her babes
until they found someone else to
place in charge of the home.
Greatly pleased over the victory Of
the kiddies, the members Of the home
board visited Mrs. Foster and begged
her to remain on as permanent mat
ron. After much urging, Mrs. Foster
stated she would remain at least until
the end Of March. ,
Members Of the home board are
high in their praises of the manner
In which Mrs Foster is conducting
the home. And the kiddies-well
eleryonx who visits the home and
ls ees them: renping and laughing in
the who'll heafted and happy manner
they always employ knows that they
are satisfied.
