The second question relative to the fit- negs of the appellants to act as guardian of such minor is not free from difficulty. It seems that since the minor was four years of age she has spent more time with the anpellee than with the appel- lants. All of her schooling has been ac- quired while at the home of the appeliee. has undoubtedly formed ties of affection for her home in Noank. On the other hand her parents have never surrendered her custody to the appellee; their daugh- ter has spent nearly ali her vacation at the home of her parents. In fact, the entire summer vacation prior to the in- stitution of the -various proceedings fin- ally culminating in the trial of thls appeal was spent with her parents in Cranston, apparently to the satisfaction of all partles in Interest. In the fall of 1921, and after the child had started golng to schoel in Cranston in aecord- ance with the announced decision of her parents to keep her home, some trouble apparently arose, the soured of which is not entirely clear. About the first of October, Rose, the child, surreptitiously left her parents' home, and after spend- ing-some time with neighbors and friends May Be Controller Of The Currency SLINGBINET, WaskiNaTON Representative Louls T.

She has since remained in the home of the apveilee, and the two fami-| lies have become estranred as a result of this quarrel over the custody of this child, although the wife of the -appellee is the sister to the child’s mother. TUnfitness of Parents Not Proved. This being an appeal from probate, comes before this court de novo, and it was agreed on the trial that the appel- lee had the burden of proceeding, and the burden of proof. The only claim’ pressed by the appellee on the charge ot the unfitness of the aopcllants was that by abandoning the custody and educa- tion of thelr child to the appellee to the extent shown by the evidence, the appei- lants had proved themselves unfit persons to aet ag her guardian. The appellants on the other hand contend with great forcs that eir affection for their child is not diminished; that they have never abandoned her; that frequent attempts were made to keep the child in thejr home but that relations between the two fami- fes were pleasant. and to avoid any feel- B ticularly suitable for wear uder the snug-fitting sweaters.

Advises Comzromise, My memorandum might stop hers au these are the only issues raised but in| view of the testimony of the child in|) the case tg the effect that all her af-| fections are now centered in the Noank home. I venture to suggest-to the pac- ties that the child is oid enough to have a reasonable preference, and that the happiness of both households will.in my opinion, be best served by glving some consideration to the preference of the child, and that perhaps after all the old arrangement whemby the child got her schooling in Noank and spent her vaca- tions with her parents is perhaps as rea- sonable 2 vne as could be devised for the best solution bf this rather difficult sit- uation, at least for the present year. The present feelings of the parties are probably none too friendly but I may point out that no specific allegations of unfitness have ‘been testified to by the Willurs other than the one fact of h: ing allowed the child to remain in th home for so considerable a part of her time. I venture to express a hope that the parties may forget their differences and try to work together for the best interests of this girl. who on her part should learn that children should always ghow proper respect for and obedience to their parents.
