TREATING ORPHANS AS HUMAN BEINGS Monotonous Uniform, Hairout and Odor of Cabbage Conspicuous by Absence From ChilMdren’s Home. (Contributed.) You should hear the little tots at the Children’s Home discussing their parents when they think no one is about. “My mother was smarter than your mother,” says one. 'No - sir, my mother was the nicest mother,” says another. “Well, anyhow, my mother was the prettiest,”” asserts a third, and a fourth chimes in “My mother was smarter and nicer and prettier than .any of yours, so there!” Fathers are tatked over in the same naive manner, all their strong points being brought out in the argument. Their weak points are also mentioned quite frankly at times, but in the main each child is pitifully sure that his parents are the best in the world. So much depends on picking out the right parents! When we appear as helpless infants in this world, the Creator’s wisdom supplies us with a grown up man and woman as par- ents to protect and sheiter us, and small boys and girls of varying ages, as brothers and sisters for playmatss to constitute a normal family. But - som: es the Divine Plan s thwarted and a child is set adrift. It the poor mite is fortunate he lands in a well conducted human sort of institution. If he is unfortunate he is swept into one of those old-fash- foned penitentiary-like buildings that smell of cabbage, carbolic and soft soap, where he becomes one more little humen automaton, his actions ofdered by the ringing of a gong, every particle of individuality squeezed out of him by a uniform and a haircut like every other child there. - No such criticism as this can be made of the local Children’s home. Youngsters of various ages are placed in each of the five houses, with both boys and girls at the Babies house; there is no herding together in crowd- ed groups of similar sex and age. The various houses are like private homes in appearance; not huge. stone plles with an impressive front, while the children are coralled in a gravel- led back yard to play- The children attend the public schools nearest their houses, “no inferfor teachers take thegn in charge in home school rooms. Each child has his own ward- robe of varying color and material; there is no drab uniform to be worn. The food varies; there is no fixed oatmeal-prune-and-cabbage diet in- flicted on them week in and week out. In short every conceivable way !s taken of escaping the deadly mono- tony of the old orphanage. system. Recently two girls at the Hart street house celebrated their birth- days at the same time, each enter- taining a group of girls about her own age. One big birthday cake served for both parties. Birthdays occur at the various houses of the Children’s Home on an average of two a week throughout the year, and there is always a birthday cake to celebrate with.

Two Wives Separated From Spouses by Judge Gager. The marital troubles of two couples once residing in the Hardware city, were aired in the superior court at Hartford before Judge Edwin B. Ga- ger yesterday. Angeling May Wil- liams, a milliner, employed in a Hartford store, mother of three chil- dren, brought an action for &ivorce from Frederick L. Willlams of this city. The plaintiff claimed that she had a copy of a marriage certificate which showed the defendant to be a bigamist. The couple were mar- ried June 28, 1905, and on May 18, 1913, the defendant deserted her and the children, and has since failed to contribute toward their support she claima. After hearing the story of the woman, Judge Gager granted the decree also custody of the childrem. Harry W. French, formerly of Bris- tol and this ¢ity, but now of parts un- known, was painted in a bad light by Sadie May Button French, - his wife and & number of witnesses when her sult for divorce was taken up, Mrs. French testified that she was married to the defendant on July 9, 1913, and went at once to live with her parents in this city. ke ruary 14, 1914, the defend: k “French leave” and she has led ‘to see or hear from him since. The erring husband on two previous o casions left his wife. "It was testified that within two hours after the wed- ding ceremony was performed he de- clared that his trip on the matri- monial sea would be brief. One of the witnesses, asked if he knew the defendant, replied that he did, and| fhat he (French) was “no ' good." The decree was granted and the plaintiff was given permission to re- sume her maiden name. FIREMEN BUY BONDS. Invest $500 in Liberty Loan o Show . Patriotism. Authorizing the appropriation of $500 from their funds for the pur- chase of “Liberty Bonds" at a special meeting last night at headquarters on Commercial street, New Britain Firemen's Relief association is be- lieved to have not only inaugurated a high standard of patriotism but placed the local organization in a position,to be envied among similar bodies of the state. There was an attendance of ebout 25 at the session, the ap- proval for purchase of the bonds being unanimous. There was an informal. discussion along general patriotic lines as a re- suit of presentation of details con- nected with the bond issue and its purposes. Arguments were thoroyghs ly of proval.
