Blow Given Sacrificing for Secrecy Keeping Baby Declared Better Course for Unwed Mother BY GRETTA PALMER limf '*r*rrij| W rt*r XTEW YORK, May 22 Should x n the unmarried mother be enrouracrd to keep her baby or to give it out for adoption? The problem is discussed by Dr. Ruth Refri in a study of the 2.000 illegitimate births which occurred in New York in one year. The report,

v inch was mucin for the Welfare Council, critin cs the attitude of some social .ervice agcncms which sacrifice all other considerations to the strictest secrecy in order to protect the reputation of the mot her. These agencies she reports, encourage the young women to keep everything a .secret from their parents,

although very often the family, after the first shock of disapproval, might have helped the mother to keep her child. They separate the baby and mother so soon after birth as to endanger the life of the child and give il to an adoption society. Often, because ol the fetich ot secrecy, tins second agency keeps no i ■ cord ol the baby's identity, making it impossible for his mother ever to reclaim him. The story of the unmarried mother is not one which we expect to have a happy ending. Even the old-fa.shsomd solution of a forced marriage docs not fit in with our present ideals. Unless there is a real affection between the parents of the child a reluctant legalization of their relationship usually will lead only to bitterness and discord. The mother who has to decide whether to give her child away lor adoption or not is in a stale of acute panic She dreads the disgrace it her situation becomeknown She imagines her family and friends pointing the finger of corn at, her. And if the social agency to which she ha' appealed encourages her in these fears she is very apt to feel that her only course is to givr up the child and go on living as if he had never been born. Another Side of Story But there is a catch to this. For unless this woman is an unusually hard and calloused person she is going to renumber her baby's existence and to wonder whether he is bring kindly treated. She is going to want to see him take his first step and to help him cut ins first tooth. And she will not be allowed so much as a glimpse of him or news of what name he bears. There will be a tragedy of frustration and self-reproach. But does the woman who keeps her baby really have so much to fear? She can, in most cases, move to another city, where no one knows her store , and pass as a w idow. She can, if she has unusual courage, face her world and make no effort at concealment. The joy of keeping her child by her side will more than make up for the criticism of uncharitable outsiders. World .More Tolerant Today The world today is a more kindly and tolerant place than in the days when a woman was made a parish for having a fatherless rhild. The organizations which care lor such cases were once known as "Homes for Fallen Women." Today many of them are called clubs or James Smithson, founder of the Smithsonian Institution and an illegitimate son. Louis Hackney, lists some prominent men and women who have overcome the stigma of illegitimacy as an encouragement to other such children. The list includes Alexander Hamilton. Sarah Bernhardt and Gordon Craig. The fatherless child starts life at a disadvantage, it is true. But if his mother is a wise woman she will not nt'empt to solve the problem by making him motherllcss, too. Mt.

Contract Bridge

Today’s Contract Problem South is playing the contract at three no trump. West opens a heart. East wins with the are and returns a heart. Declarer wins and leads a club, which West wins with the ace.

Soh/tinn In Previous Contract. Problems RV W. E. M KENNEY Srrr-t.irv American Brirtce I. easin' CONTRACT bridge is not marie up of two separate games—the bidding and the play. Many persons are under the impression that bidding is the important part in contract, but the bidding is only a prophecy of the play that follows. If you and your partner prophesy that, with the cards you hold, you can make thirteen tricks, you may find that it will take exceptionally fine play to carry out your prophecy. During the bidding of contract, try to visualize the play, but by all means learn to play your cards well because bidding systems are based on accurate play. You will also find that you will often get into a bad contract, but exceptionally fine play will allow you to make it. Today we find a hand in which two finesses must work to give the declarer his contract, but by properly timing the hand, and with both finesses working, a squeeze will work out so that the declarer can make seven odd. The bidding given here is as it actually occurred in the game.

WEST made the most difficult opening on the hand —the eight of diamonds—which must be 1 won with the ace in dummy. The heart finesse is taken, and when it holds, a small club is led and won in dummy with the ten. Another heart is played and the queen finesse is taken. Declarer now leads a small club, which wins in dummy with the ace, returning a small spade and finessing the queen which holds. South then cashes the king, queen and of clubs, discarding a diamond from dummy. East lets go the seven of spades, the five of diaj mnnds. and the king of hearts. Declarer then plays the ace of ! hearts, which squeezes East. He must let; go a diamond. So the declarer then plays a small diamond and wins in dummy with the king, i picking up East's queen.

sition and who makes money can have any woman he wants. Some years ago 1 played my last card with him. We had an argument and I quit him for hVt thought that T just wanted a good time. I often wonder if he thinks I am not good enough for him. He dates many girls and says he tries them all. There is an unwritten rule that employes should not have dates with each other, and I often wonder if things would be different if I would leave. I'm getting up in my age, but I can't care for any one else as long as I am around him. The humiliation of my experience with him is just about to get the best of me. I want to know if you don’t agree with me that it would be better to be away from here even if I have to work for half the money. I have repented deeply for my mistake and certainly have made a mess of things. JO. Answer—l am too practical to advise a girl who has a good job to throw it up in a period when jobs are scarce, merely because she has failed in a love affair with one of the personnel. If you are energetic and ambitious enough to better yourself in business, that is fine. But if you have tr* lower yourself in the economic scale to escape a bit of humiliation, you only add a second defeat to the first.. In a way I think you wish to punish yourself for conduct of which you disapprove. Some stern inner censor demands that you continue to suffer for what’should be regarded as a passing piece of foolishness. Banishment will in no way atone for your mistake, and less money will only make you feel worse. It is natural for you to seek compensation for the love you could not win. but for heaven’s sake let it be on the side of economic advancement rather than martyrdom. I suppose you feel that a change of jobs would change your contacts and that you might meet a man with the power to make you forget. This is possible, though I wouldn't risk it without the assurance that the new job would pay as well as the old. Please remember that it is not the physical presence of the man which holds you back from finding another so much as it is your own inferiority feelings. That is your real problem, and it can be worked out in one place as readly as another. A courageous person leaves one job only because he has found a better one and not because his pride is inconvenienced. BBS Dear Jane Jordan—We have been married four years.

ing frequent trips back to his | home town. After the first of the year I realized that he hadn’t | been going home at all, but seeing [ an old friend of former days. This was followed by letters at first i few and far apart, but now they | are coming every two or three i days. Also, at first they were given me to read, but that, too, is over. We have had several arguments over this. I saw we were getting nowhere, so I've said nothing, hoping he would give it# up. But things have gone backward. If I had given him any reason to act this way, it would be very clear, but I haven’t; so what shall I do ; now? THANK YOU. Answer—The only thing I have to suggest for the wife whose husband's love is slipping, is to fill her life with other things. The sooner she wins her economic independence ; the better. The woman with the wisdom to let her husband alone in his love affairs is the only one who has the ghost of a chance to be the winner in the triangle. T do not say that the affair is trivial, for I do not know. But either way you have nothing to gain by an outraged at- ; titude. Many perfectly good men feel an | urgent need for change, and they j can not be made monogamous by j hurt wives or righteous courts. If ! they settle down to monogamy in \ the end it is because one woman is ! more satisfying than several. Seven will be initiated into Alpha j Nu chapter, Alpha Zeta Beta sorority. at 8:30 tonight at the Home-! stead 5694 North Meridian street.! Initiates include Misses Florence Eggleston, Helen Murray, Anna O'Donnell, Thelma Eades, Melvina Stevenson, Alice Deal and Georgia Dillon, j
