LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT
!, LORD. JACK:

GOOD LORD, JACK:
What may one expect of you next7
I received your clipping from the
paper telling Of your adoption Of the
child with just the words, II want
you to be godfather" written on the
margin.
1 wish Jack-and this may seem
somewhat fantastic to you; in fact,
don't know whether or not you are
big enough to have done 1t had 7 sug-
gested it-but 1 sincerely wish I had
known that you were going to adopt
a child, for 1 think 1 could have per-
suaded Paula to let you have hers.
You know that girl rather sur
prised me with her courage and 1
have thought about her a lot lately,
going out into a new country and a
new profession and taking that baby
with her.
The mills of the gods, Jack, after
all, keep on their ceaseless grinding
through woe and weel. 1 cannot help
thinking that you as well as she have
been feeling the strong hand of the
law of compensation, feeding you in
to the grist.
I am glad to know that Leslie is
better. I am glad to know that she
will love the child for, between you
and me, Jack, If anything could pos
sibly pay for the terrible wrong you
have done one woman, it is the adop-
ton of a child OF some other poor
mother whose very soul must have
been torn with agony before she gave
her baby into the keeping Of strang-
ers.
OF course I accept the position Of
godfather. If you think that can be
one worthy Of the name. and as soon
as Alice comes back we win have the
nnrar,nnn SYD

l know that mother is praying that
God will keep you and prosper you
because Of your goodness to her child.
My wedding has been put off for
a few months as Dick has been Of
fered a wonderful job in Los Angeles.
He is going out there to get settled
and then will come back and we will
be married in the fall.
I hope, dear, that you will write
me as soon as you are able and 1
should like very much to come and
see you If you think I will not be in
the way Or If you should wish for
q change why not bring the baby and
the nurse and come up and see me?
I would just love it if you would like
to do this and Jack would let you
come.
With lots Of love,
BEE.

designer. Lanvin, believes in Great
ing frocks that are youthful, always

For the slim figure there is the
slightly bodffant style of dress,
which is ruffled and founced this

For the more mature figure there
