Finding Homes
For Orphan Babes
Toronto Branch Cannot Supply
Demand for Girl Babies
DEMAND IS WIDESPREAD
Demand for babies for adoption ex-
ceeds supply, according to Mrs. Helen
wrence, supervisor of the Chil-
dren's Aid Society of Toronto. "We
cannot-. begin --to- fill -the--demands,"
she said, speaking of this phase of
the society's work.
During the past year the society
placed 232 children for adoption) 70.
more than in 1934. During November
it found foster 'homes for 37 children.
As in previous years, girl babies have
been' -more popular than boys, but in
the last few months, there has bee
larger demand fpr boys than ever be-
fore. The children placed with fos-
ter parents, have almost all gone to
homes in cities and towns.
Forty of the children placed this
year have found foster -fathers who
are professional men; 60 have gone
to the homes of managers or clerks,
connected with railways, banks or
post offices; 51 have been adopted by
skilled tradesmen; 40 by semi -skilled
workers;,,14 by farmers; and five by:
unskilled workers. The rest have
been adopted by relatives.
Applications to the St. Vincent de
tion have also been extraordinarily
numerous, the matron at the society's
home said, "All our .girl babies are
cleared out," she announced.

There, she's, turned off the lights and

which had been left off the usual
list. Yes, everything is done, but
how tired she is! -
Eleven fifteen! She's dozing.
Eleven thirty! She's awake and
feels rested. How nice the room looks
in the firelight. The tree glistens so',
and the white bundles underneath
are yery mysterious. The house is
warm and quiet. • The logs in the
fire burn lazily. Her thoughts wand-
er idly, but come to a stop when she
hears voices singing. 'Holy night'—
all is calm—rest -- peace." She
strains to hear more, and the Carol
.singers come: closer, bringing a mes-
Gage which she had nearly overlook-
ed in the stress and hurry. How

about it. The singers.have passed and
the room is quiet again. She thinks
