Their Numbers Rapidly What Becomes of Babies That Are Abandoned In New York City Increasing, Foundlings Are “Named” by City Authorities, Then Placed in One of the Five Available “Homes.” By Fay Stevenson. bpyright, 1022 (New York Evening World) ele Dy Press Publishing. Co. ‘HE STORK brings an average of from 83 to 43 foundlings and abandoned babies every month to Greater New York. Although there are many orphan nstitutions and homes in this city, there are really just five foundling homes where the child of a few days or weeks may make its home, These five institutions are the New York Foundling Hospital, Angel Guardian Home, New York Nursery and Child's Hospital, Brooklyn Nursery and In- fant Hospital (Salvation Army) and the Home for Hebrew Infants, In one of these kindly homes the un- wanted, homeless baby wif at length find shelter. Many of the babies, it is sald by the authorities, are found upon the doorsteps, in alleys, subways, vesti- bules, halls, park benches and some- times even in ashcans. But no mat- ter where a baby is left, even if upon the very doorstep of a foundling in- stitution, the baby must first be ned over to the police before being ken within the docrs of the institu- tion. Every baby is then given a name and christened alternately Protestant or Catholic. If a note is left with the baby saying it is a Hebrew the child Hebrew authorities. During the past year the number foundlings in this city is given over to has in- “Wed Time” ipreased. Statistics at the Depart- ent of Public Welfare, where the otal number of babies from foundling ocleties, including Protestant, Cath- lc, the Salvation Army and Jewish titutions, are filed, show that in there were 452 unwanted babies nd in 1921 there were 551. This jeans that there were ninety-nine more foundlings during 1921 than the previous year, And there are indica- dions that the total for 1922 will jhow another increase. The baby eventually finds its way to one of these foundling homes and egins to enjoy life. Those little Syralfs who usually range from ten ys to three weeks soon develop ito laughing, romping children, They igre affectionate, trusting little souls, ving their f&ter sisters and rothers and looking forward to as any joys and privileges ag the more rtunate baby who is held in spother's arms. Life is always good qt any price and the institution with 8 grue!, its funny gingham aprons or uroy trousers becomes a palace of dreams of what they will do some day when they get out into the great energetic world before them. And sometimes “mother” » visits them on Sundays laden with goodies and toys! Yes, mother comes, Two-thirds of the mothers who abandon their babfes In this city come back and claim thetr babies. After the tired, discouraged mother abandoned her baby, say, on a park bench or upon some doorstep, she either goes sobbingly back to her work with a hardened heart and de- sire to ‘forget’ or else her heart softens and she telepho to the Department of Public Welfare and asks if she will be punished if she That Did ‘By Sophie The Love That Never Dies No ye Ever Was Successful ot Have Something Bigger In Its Makeup Than Just Love Words.

ND now a well known poet's daughter is seeking a divorce from hor husbahd after a short but troubleséme term of matrimony, At the time this marriage took place, it was done under the most poetic and primeval ceremonies— amidst a most spiritual atmosphere. She gave her husband very beautiful, high sounding names Ike the kind you read about in books. It was a great dream affair—and now the awakening. ¢nd this Is not only the case with pocts’ daughters but the daughters of millionaires and laborersiand pau- pers. When, oh when, will young People understand that it can't be done—this living on a moonbeam gives her right name ar comes to see her baby. There is something so strong about mother love that even the girl who has been betrayed cannot leave her dearest charge. Many mothers go back to thelr bables willing to be- gome servants jn the institutions Where their babies are located. But as Miss Mary C, Tinney, ins r for the Department of Public Wel fare, pointed out, the girl who has held an office or factory position ean hardly be expected to do domestic work. Therefore a new position much along the line of the mother’s for- mer one is found for her, and if she wishes she may give a stall portion ot her salary to help maintain her baby. But, whether mother is able to con- tribute or not, she is always en- couraged to visit her baby, And the baby peeks out through the iron bars of the institution and str Life is good; there 1s oatmeal for breakfast, soup for luncheon and a warm stew With a glass of milk for Lite is full and sweet. ‘There are chil- dren to romp with and lessons to learn, And there is the great, wide world waiting for him or her in later years, “First call to the Dining Hall” (Photos by Giiliams Service.)

Lovely dreams turn to living night. mares when marriage is buflt on the sinking sands of illusion. It is all very well for him to lisp sweet noth- ings to her under the evening star and to pledge his love by the golden slow of a sunset. At such moments they are ‘dead: sure" that the whole world can go te smash, and that they will endure for- ever and ever, long after the funeral services are sald, and a few thousand years more than that. Please do not mistake me, gentle youth. I have no desire to take away the beautiful high spots i life, the moonlight sonatas in existence, the dream world that is so vital to happi- ness, the sweet sentiments upon which the world moves and has its being. All, all are most essential—no, highly important, to the well-being of the world as well as to young people. But when nothing else matters, when there is no other basis for mar- riage, when there is no consideration for the aftermath, then indeed {s this seemingly spiritual side of life readily dispelled, for the higher kind of con- tinued happiness has for its founda- tion something morg substantial— on which to bank when love is sorely tried. In other words, no marriage ever was successful that did not have eee bigger in its make-up than just love words, mere attraction of one for the other. And that, some- thing bigger is friendship—the higher kind of friendship. No marriage ever succeeded on a dream plane for any length of time. The altitude is too high and man is too much of an earthbound creature and must, have the mundane things such as rent bills, groceries, cooking and neighbor matters. The love that never dies is the love wherein both parties may go through the most wonderful poetic experi- ence they may wish. They may re- gard each other as flowers or birds or anything else, but down deep at the bottom of it all is a staunch tle that binds when this is dispelled, and more or less it is dispelled in any kind of @ marriage. You can’t keep up the high spirits all the time. After a while they must get down to a certain plane of peace and the joy of living in the every- day, which is far different from the honeymoon, Marriage cannot be one long first year. Therefore, the safest and san- est marriages are those in which tlie young people have something in com- mon with the everyday world and their relationship to it some interest- ing work beside the etheral and in- tangible. If you have something big in com- mon, a destiny to fulfil, a work to perform, you have @ good chance for a fine friendship that will stand in good stead when you have ceased to care for the continued sighing of the south winds—as it nearly always hap- pens. _ The Jarr Family | Copyright, 1922 (New York’ Evening World) by Press Publishing Company 66 JOTHING ever seems to hap- N pen to us!’ exclaimed Mrs. Jarr with a sigh, as she looked up from the evening paper. “What do you want to happen to us?" asked Mr. Jarr. “If something did happen you'd worry because it did. You seem to be worrying be- cause you haven't anything to worry you This thing of saying ‘Every day in every way, I'm getter better and better,’ may cheer up some people,” sighed Mrs. Jarr, “but having good health doesn’t drive all worry away." “Well,” said Mr, Jarr, “it isn't What really happens that worries us so much, it is worrying about wor- ries that we expect. But the days come and go and we get our three meals a day and the rent comes due and nothing really happens, and everything happeys."” “That's just what I was starting saying when you interrupted me,"’ re- marked Mrs. Jarr. ‘Now, look here at this article in the paper about a millionaire wanting a divorce because his wife was too extravagant. How can a millionaire’s wife be extrava- gant? But what makes me angry is that this millionaire says all women are extravagant and spend too much on clothes. I wager he doesn't go shabby. “But a millionaire can afford to dress well,” said Mr. Jarr. “Then so can his wife,” declared Mrs. Jarr. “I get 80 provoked when I read of rich people giving advice to telling How can anybody save whose limited?

I just cleaned a hat with, five cents’ worth of gasoline but as I got it at a drug store I had to pay 10 cents for it, and I have to use it myself when anything is to be cleaned because Gertrude is so care- less and will use gasoline in the Kitchen to clean gloves or ribbons or shirt waists when she has a fire In the gas range. Simply because Claude, the fireman, Is her beau she'll take the most dreadful risks, but I only use gasoline in daylight and at the open window." I'm glad you take such precau- tions,” said Mr. Jarr, ‘But that isn’t what I getting at. I wanted to ask you why you should worry about the price of gasoline when you only get 5 cents’ worth at the drug store for 10 cents. Mr. Stryver worrlvs at the high cost of gasoline because he Pays from 26 to 80 cents a gallon for it for his limousine, but the way you buy it you pay 10 cents for a little bit in a bottle—that makes it cost you about $3. ¢ “Does it?” erled Mrs. Jarr, “Then it's no wonder the Rockefellers are so rich and taking it out of me, too! Why should the Rockefellers charge me $3 a gailon for gasoline—only I never buy a gallon; I'd be afraid to have it in the house—and let Mr. Stryver have !t so much cheaper!” “No, no, no! cried Mr. Jarr, “You've got it all wrong. The Rocke- fellers do not retail gasole, and you Pay at the rate of $3 a gallon for it only be © you buy in such small quantit “Come to think of it,” declared Mra. Jarr, and a smile lit up fuce, “It wasn't gasoline I bought at the drug store; it was benzine. So those Rocke fellers didn’t get anything from me, after all!"

Although Barbara had a room in the Village herself It was not in the ‘swell studio" section, Her, room consisted of a double bed, a bureau which she shared with Margie McFadden, her roommate, and a trunk which they frequently used as a table.
