MIX-UP OF BABES or SeVefi' Months Two«Mothers \ 'Minister to Wrong Off- - spring. Lt -~ WENT 70 MAGISTRATE _Jurlst Heavily Discounts Maternal In«| stinct and Relies Heavily Upon .. Cold Analysis, and Orders New Deal. s .7 New. York—Was it maternal in- stinct, or cold analysis, that led to the adjudication that Blanche Leoniff was Annie Felner; and that Annie Felner was Blanche Leoniff. = Anyway, the matter was brought to the attention of Magistrate- Healy of New York city, a short tlme ago, by the mother.of An- nie Felner, and, after the.court-had:in- vestigated, a Judgment was. recorded declaring the identity of each baby, and there was a new distribution of * the youngsters o conform to the judg- ment, i (Trouble Began Seven Months Ago. " The trouble began seven months ago, when Mrs, Minnie Leoniff and Mrs. Gussie Felner, both of the East'side, New York, were inmates of the mater- nity ward of Gouverneur hospital, and- to each, on the same day, was born a girl child. Mrs. Leoniff wasn’t in con- was given for a short time to Mrs. Fel- ner, who agreed to nurse both children, temporarily, In a day or two Mrs. Leoniff became competent to take care of her child, and it—or “a baby”—was taken from Mrs. Felner and given her., Later, ‘both women left the hospital for their homes, each with a baby. Grew a Bit Suspicious. home than her sister declared that the child she was caressing certainly wasn’t hers. And in time she grew & bit suspiclous herself.” And in the Le- arise. The little Blanche was so unlike .ers and sisters; she was blonde, had light blue eyes and instead of being boisterous and robust, was slight’ and pale. She was the marvel and the ad- . miration, and also the puzzle of the ~ household. " Then, a few weeks ago, there was an accidental meeting of the moth- ers, each with her baby, on Grand There Was an Accidental Meeting of the Mothers. street, and Instantly Mrs. Felner de- cided that Mrs. Leoniff’s 8lagche was really ‘her child, and Mrs. Leoniff didn’t know what to think. There were consultations, investigation and ques- tioning of hospital records and physi- cians, but the only information to be gained there was the stereotyped hos- pital reply, that it was not possible that any hospital attache or hospital could make a mistake. Sp the matter « was carried to Magistrate Healy, who examined the hospital and other wit- nesses, drove the hospital physician to admit that an exchange might have oc- curred there, although he still clung to the general proposition that “mistakes” and “hospital” are terms not to-be put together, and then, after he had made some investigations on his. own initia- tive, the magistrate awarded the Le- oniff baby to Mrs. Felner and-the Fel- ner child to Mrs. Leoniff. He did this because there was striking resemblance between the one child and a twelve- year-old boy of the Leoniff family, and between the other baby and her mother. Same Old Story. Chicago.—Jacob Smith of Kalama- 200, Mich., said he didn’t mind losing $20,000 on & horse, had it been in a race, but to find later that the entry he backed did not -even start was going a bit too strong. He was the victim of two men down in Laureldale, Fla. They introduced him to six other race horse fans, whe placed $50,000 on‘a certaln horse, Smith understood. This looked good to him, so he put up $20,000.

COMBINATION MUEFINS.. (Using no Wheat) METHOD OF MIXING " Add to the cup of milk the melted| fat, sirup, and slightly beaten egg: sift the salt, baking powder, and flour! together. Use a coarse sieve so thati no part of the flour is wasted. Com- bine the two mixtures, stirring light- ly without beating. Bake in a hot! oven (437 degrees F. or 225 degrees: C.) for 20 to 30 minutes, depending; upon the size of the muffins. These recipes make 24 smail muf- fins (3 of which make a 2 ounce serv- ing) or’'8 very large muffins. y : The ground rolled oatg are the same! as rolled oats ground in a food chop-! per.
