war widow, q years
~ old. When Evan was
killed, she handed her three
months-old baby over to her
much older sister and took a
job. The sister and her hus-
band had two older girls. They
welcomed little Evan and
eventually adopted him. Car
oline says she consented to
the adoption, never dreaming
it was so serious a matter. She
knew that she couldn't take
care of Evan and that they
would give him an ideal nome.
Now the sister idolizes the
baby, who is just two, and pro-
poses to fight Caroline's sud-
den resolution to reclaim him.
The child is intelligent and
beautiful and he adores his
adopted sisters. They all live
in a pleasant country place.
Caroline lives in the hospital
where she is a ward nurse.
Caroline's letter says in part:
Il know you will sympathize. I
know everyone must sympathize
with a mother whose one longing is
to get her child into her arms. My
welded life with his father was only
Of a few weeks duration. Then Evan
went away to war and I discovered

to be a baby. My sister comforted
me. took care of mel don't deny
that. When the news Of Evans death

than grieved. staggered at the idea
that I had a boy to raise. Then the
offer Of my sister and her husband

him over to such love and care.
Two widowed Nurses.
Nov I am lonely. My plan is to
share housekeeping with an older
nurse. who has a girl Of three. one Of
us always being with the children.
She will get night duty. being at
home all day. We are both widowed
by the war and we believe we can
build a home together. We can rent
a five-room apartment for very lit
tie and turn the dining room into a
playroom. I have never done any
housekeeping, but can learn and will
spend all my spare time with the
babies. My nursing knowledge cer-
tainly will spare them many child
ish diseases.
If my sister forces me to go to
law to recover my child. which she
and her husband suggest. would you
not feel that l have a very strong

Yes, Caroline. you have a strong
case. 1t was strong in Solomon's time

a mother to the custody of her own
child. especially in these emotional
days when war-widowhood makes so
strong an appeal, is undeniable.
