DESERTION IS COMMON
By KATHLEEN McKEE.
“The percentage of child desertion by
mothers Is surprising when It is possi
ble for the mothers to obtain homes
through the Mothers’ Aid society," de
clared Mrs. Henrietta Elllnwood, presi
dent of the organization, In discussing
the number of cases which have been
brought before the public recently.
“Bad conditions which prevailed dur
klng the war are constantly being bet-
Htered.
Hfc'However, during the last few months
have had four or five Instances.”

cases, was the opinion of Mrs. El-

said more women do not come to
society because they are afraid.
co-operation of the women's de
ftrtment of police headquarters has
r made if possible to find many mothers
who have deserted their babies, accord
ing to Mrs. Elllnwood.
Mrs. Elllnwood said that many moth
ers come to the Mothers’ Aid society
making requests to have their children
adopted.
“We were helping one yonng woman
to care for her three children, all less
than 3 years of age, who came to us
one day and told us that she ‘was too
young to be tied down by a family’ and
that she wanted them to be adopted,’’
Hid Mrs. Elllnwood.
“A short time ago a woman came to
my office and asked me to find a home
for her baby.
“I tried to talk her out of it, but
I seemed only to make her angry at me,
and she threw the baby across the desk
at me.”
Mrs. Elllnwood said another mother

“We have found In some instances that
rbe mother will desert the child If we
do not consent to take It.
“A few weeks ago a woman came to
the office with a baby, saying she had
been deserted by her husband and left
with a baby and child six years old.
“She said her mother, who was 70
years old, cared for the child while she
worked, but was not a competent per
son.
“The woman told me that she had a
sister living In the country with whom
she might stay awhile If we would pay
her expenses.”
Mrs. Elllnwood said the plan did not
appeal to her, but she agreed to pay
the mother’s board.
“She made me believe she desired to
keep her baby,” Mrs. Elllnwood said.
As the girl did not report to the asso
ciation, Mrs. Elllnwood made inquiries
and found that she had taken her baby
to a south side home and left it on the
doorstep. i
“A lady rooming at the house where
the baby was left told us the woman
came to the house In the evening carry
ing the baby.
“She asked for one of the ladles in
the house.
“As she did not come out of the house,
the boarder asked about her the next
day, and found that she had not been
seen by the lady she asked for.
“Later it was learned she had passed
