Sometimes some other agency can help in the particular emergency presented, and the matter is turned over to them; sometimes just kindly advice and di- rection will straighten out this tan- gle; but very often the children for | whom the appeal is made genuine need the home and mother's care | which for some reason their own peo- plo cannot give. These youngsters are placed in carefully selected family { homes where they may have the indi- vidual care and attention that are their right and a necessity to the proper development. Many splendid homes are now open to these children | but just now the demand for homes | is greater than the supply owing to the tremendous pressure which the present epidemic is bringing to bear. | " The following is from a letter re- | cently recetved by the Children’s Aid socicty “I have been ill for a few weeks, Connecticut | and have thought of so many little ones left without parents, and if you have a small baby, as young as pos- sible, will you let me know?” There ought to be fifty such letters rather than one, for during the la weeks many, many youn sters, from the twins, three days old, to Concetta, eight years old, come to Children's Aid for care. Dur- ing the year just past, under normal conditions, 608 children ha: | come to the attention of the societ The only places to which these chil- dren may go, are the homes of Con- | nacticut's citizens for the society main- tains no institution outside of the Home for Crippled Children at New- ington. child can best be cared for in a pri- | vate home where there are the advan- tages of family life such as it should have had with its own parents. At present, the society is caring for over two hundred children in this way. In order to furnish this typa of care, an appeal must be made to the child | loving people of Connecticut to open their doors. Every institution is over-crowded and most ave closed to newcomers he- cause of the epidemic. And there are at least ten lovely, cuddley babies of a year aor under, who are desperately tn need of homes. TFor instance, a worried anxious woman came into the office a few days ago, carrying the plumpsst, sweetest bit of year-old babyhood that ever was. The woman was Teddy’s aunt, and just three days | before she had been summoned by telegram from her work at a naval hospital to a town in the sister dead, and Teddy absolutely alone in the world except for her. | Now her furlough was almost over and her repeated visits to institutions In desperation, late in the afternoon, she came to the Children’s Aid, sa ing that she must return to her work in the morning and there w It was found, upon a doc- slight attack of influenza and was ta- ken to the hospital. Now he is en- tirely recovered, and for many days has been waiting for a new mother— some woman who will love him as he | deserves, and give him the care that is his right, in return for the hoard which the Children’s Aid will pay. Teddy is only one. There a many others who need a mother | now!
