During the time specified four'little ones passed away; seven were provided with homes, and elght were adopted by people who mourned the fact that they had no chil- dren of their own. Children are sent out on trial with a view toward adoption in the event of their showing contentment with their surroundings and arousing a parental love in those to whom they are temporarily intrusted. This probationary period extends through three months. If at the end of that time the orphan boy or girl is not satisfied with his or her would-be foster parents, or the latter are dissatisfled with the boy or girl, the pa- rentless little one is returned to the home to await a more auspicious opportunity.
