4 TWOYEAROLD BOY ! , YEARNS FOR HOME Billy Parr at Children’s Hos- pital Getting Well After Hard Seige of lliness. Unfortunate because he is parent- Jess; unfortunate because his two vears on thig earth have been marked by sickness, little “Billy Parr’—as he is known—is waiting at Children's Hospital for some one to adopt him. He's a little cotton-headed youngster with big brown eyes contrasting with « swans-down complexion Billy is wise with the wisdom that tho first two years of life bring. He 18 not wise enough, however, to know that he is one of life’s unfortunates. If you teld him that he had been born at the Florence Crittenden Home, he wouldn't know what you were talking about. But it won't be long before he'll_understand and possibly twist hig life_into a continuous series of sorrow by that knowledge. For this reason, the nurses at the Children's Hospital are anxious that he be adopted by some one who will be parent to him, and who will ward offt from him the knoweldge that his Dbirth was under unfortunate circum- stance . Now Galning Welght. Billy got to Children's Hospital as n result of stomach trouble which was followed by disorders in the neighbor- hood of his ecars. The little fellow was accustomed to look sagely up at visltors and shake his head with a slow motion_from side to side as if indicating: . no, no.", That phase of his life is o He is gaining welght, his ear trouble is cured—and shaking has whether ther ay when some man or ~will take him home. He hears chlidren near him talk of “home.” and he docsn't understand what they mean. He can just barely talk himself and the light of language is just begin- ning to send its first beams into his mind.

They'll stand around my costly grave, composed of bone- vard soil, and tell of all the strength 1 gave to make the kettle boil, of how I wi rought through life to save their hands from brutal toil.” Per- kaps they'll follow up this plan; perhaps they'll blush to think their father was a toilworn man whose clothes were on the blink, who packed his dinner in a can, and wore his galways pink.
