She looked doubtfully across the desk at the
younger woman "And in all fairness, should tell

of broken lives repaired, too. Mrs. Patterson was
proud of the work she had done here. Now that
her retirement was at hand, she wanted to choose
the best possible successor.
The Advisory Board was giving her full discretion
IN the matter; her word would be final Of all the
applicants interviewed far she felt most attracted
to this young war widow with the calm voice and
steady eyes, But she was totally inexperienced. And
so young, so very young. Perhaps, with six months
careful training.
Mrs. Patterson rubbed her forehead YEARLY. How
could you possibly SIT across desk from stranger

serenity and compassion, the strength and stability

cardboard folders. The problem is the same for
each of these two girls whether to keep her baby,

You'd be amazed at how beautiful these children
usually are. It's not surprising that we have far
more requests from people wanting to adopt babies
than we can possibly FILL"
Linda Pomeroy sat down behind the screen. Does
each girl know the sex of her child?"
Oh yes" said Mrs. Patterson, I'VE tell them
that. And we try to point out fairly the pros and
cons of adoption. On the one hand, the knowledge
that they'll never see their child never know who
adopts it. On the other all the difficulties and dis
advantages of keeping it - under the circumstances
These two girls will have to choose tomorrow. This
is their final interview"

had little hope of getting this job, although she
wanted it desperately. Not merely because she
needed it, needed the money, needed sti1 more the
sense of being needed. She actually believed that
she could do it well. She knew the taste of sorrow
and loneliness She would like to ease the bitterness
for others If she could.
She listened now to the soft hesitant voices of the
girls the calm dispassionate comments of the Direc-
tor. 1t was evident, in each case, that the young
mother was uns,re of herself uncertain what to do
and unhappy in her uncertainty. Each of them
wanted to do what was right, but.
When the second interview was over, and the girl
had gone, Linda came from behind the screen

handed them back.
Mrs. PATTERSON glanced at them her face ex-

Mrs Patterson felt as if sudden weight had been
