May is month of double dis
tinction-both oysters and stockings
are "out" The former is none of
our editorial concern, but the trend
to hoselessness definitely is. Going
barelegged involves much more than
merely emitting hose from the dress
ing routine. First, it involves a few
preparatory beauty sessions in order
to assure yourself that the legs you
bare are not only dainty but deco
rative.
On the grooming score, No. l rule
is Smoothness. AS Mary Stuyvesant

just another graphic way of stating
the old idea that you must smooth
any surface before you paint it. In
the case of legs, the reason is

Keeping your legs sleek is simply
IA matter of patience and pull-of
one sort or another. Personally we
think a professional wax treatment

"An accredited agency doesn't want
adopting parents to go into a home
and pick out a baby because of it's
beautiful blue eyes," said Mrs. Cath
arine Norton of the Council of
Social Agencies, and then proceeded
to tell us the ABC's Of adoption.
Adoption is a moot question these
days-and since this is National
Baby Week, we decided we'd turn
our eyes, along with thousands of
American couples, toward the babies
who become a part OF family
through a thorough search, and
legal channels.
Mrs. Norton, who is head of the
Family and Child Welfare Division
of the Council, went on to explain
that the adoption process itself is
far from an isolated thing 1t in
wolves three prime factors: The
adopting parents, the baby in ques-
ton, and the mother Of the child.
Looking first to the adopting par
ents, accredited agencies believe
that future parents have the right
to know something about the baby
and they also have the right to
security and possession of the child
The baby broker bill, which became
law recently, has done a good deal
to eliminate snarls in the adoption
procedure, such as mercenary or
Well-meaning but ill-informed third
parties, and the danger of the nat
ural mothers attempt to reclaim
her child after the baby has been
placed for adoption, and before the
adoption has been completed. A
licensed agency, of course, does not
accept money for its work.
However, the prospective parent
must also be measured, to determine
whether or not the garb of parent
hood will fit. 1t is unWise, Mrs. Nor
| ton declares, to try to use a child
to cement marriage ties that are
already frayed to the breaking
point. Also, a we'll meaning but un-
stable couple will not fill the bill
nor will an immature woman who
wants a child for a plaything. Ir
/ brief, the prospective parents of ar
adopted child should be adult anc
stable individuals, who have built 6
/ substantial home life between them
And money and education are not
all important in determining the
stability or suitability of the home
of the adopting parents.
The baby is the second variable ir
the adoption formula. One factor
Mrs. Norton states, that the couple
considering adoption must realize
is that the big source of supply i.
the child of the unmarried mother
give this some thought, and you'll
realize why this happens to be true
However, as it was pointed out t.
us, it does not necessarily follow
that the childs background wa!
sordid, or that its parents wer,

Looking haggard from illness, Mr..
Hopkins told reporters he did not
want to discuss his plans for the
future in any way.

to very good friend of mine," he
said in an obvious reference to
President Roosevelt, then added:
"And I came down to pay my

him well. I know he'll get what he
deserves-the support of all the
American Neople in this time"
Mr.. Hopkins, who few here for
the funeral from Mayo Clinic,
Rochester, Mimi, spoke so softly his
voice was hardly audible to the re-
porters who crowded about him as
he left the Executive Mansion.
Mr.. Hopkins said it was hard for
him to tell what was in his mind
and heart at this time. But he
said he had arranged, when he gets
out of the hospital, to see President
Truman again and "acquaint him
