Flood of Letters from Heart: Touched Persons Prove This Big City Is Not So Heartless) 4 as Some Say. Cynical persons may say that the peo- ple of this great city are heartless, but The Evening World knows better—bas always _known better, Witness the case of Mrs. Harry Sterling. This Uttle woman came into The Bvening World office lite Saturday afternogn, carrying a rosy baby. Thg mother was scrupulously neat, The baby wore a white slip that was immaculate, His smiling face fairly shone, and the Dink scalp that glegmed through his blond bair showed that when Mrs. Sterling washed her baby she made @ thorough job of it “I must give my baby away,” sald Mrs. Bterling. ‘I have two other chii- dren in institutions, but I want this Uittle one to have a real home, God knows my heart falls at the thought of parting with him, but my husband has dese,ted me, I find it almost impossibie to get a place and keep the baby. If there is a woman in New York that ls childless and wants a sweet-tempered boy to bring up as her own I will let ber bave my baby.” Little One Smiling, As the mother spoke the little one @miled at the reporter. Then he laughed; he laughed all over, with his dimpled arms, with his chubby legs, with hia fat ttle body. Turning his face h@ hid It on his mother's shoulders | « and the soft little fingers clutched her hair, Of course the mother cried and as she cried the nine months’ old baby cooed and wriggied and acted as happy, well-fed babies act. The Evening World agreed to make public the case of Mra. Sterling. Her atory appeared on Monday. Let- ters began to arrive at this office yes- terday.
