As We Live
Just As Tough To B
A Widower As A Widow
Most people feel that the prob
lems of a widow are much great
er than those of a widower. The
following letter shows that the
widow is not the only one with
problems to solve. The problem
he describes thus:
(Q) "I notice you get a lot
of letters from widows who
say they are lonely and arc
looking for another husband.
I am a widower and lonely,
but that is not my only prob
lem. I know there are plenty
of widows but, like most wid
owers who have had a happy
marriage, I am afraid of mak
ing a mistake. Also, I hart
one son in the Army who will
be home in July and another
son who will be called into
the service in the near future.
I must have a home for them.
What woman would want me
with two sons who would
have to live with us? Yes, I
am lonely, but my children
must have a home."
(A) I agree with you that your
sons must have a home. When
thev go into the service, nothing
is better lor
their morale
than to know
that their home
is waiting for
them when
they are on
furlough o r
when they fin
ish the period
of their serv
ice. Dr. Hurlock
Going into the service, when
a young man is not planning to
make this his life career, is often
an upsetting experience for a
young man. He feels that he is
interrupting his education or his
work, and that he is cutting him
self off from his friends.
The one really secure anchor
he has is his home. That is why
it is so important for you to
have a home for your sons now.
Soon, however, they will be
thinking of marriage and estab
lishing homes for themselves.
Most young men realize how
lonely their fathers can be when

'their mothers die and how hard
it is for a man to keep the home
running, especially if he has a
business to go to every day. I
am sure your sons would want
you to remarry, if you prepared
them for it. Don't spring it on
them, as it were, while they are
away from home.
It would be far better to talk
over the whole matter with them
so they will know what you have
in mind. Then, if you find any
one you think will be happy
with you and you with her, make
sure your sons have a chance to
get to know her -before you
marry. If they like her, they will
welcome a woman's influence in
the horn.

Laramie, Wyo. (U.R) Fire

Authorities said most of those
injured were hurt in leaping

Spring Footwear for
Younger Set Shows
Smart Spring Styles
Easter shoes for little girls
were never prettier.. The classic
favorites the pump, the shell
line one strap and the Mary
Jane continue to be the smartest
shoes for young wearers. But
they have a new look this sea
son, in line with the dainty fem
inine trend in little girl fash
ions. Black patent, as always, is a
big favorite. You can't have
spring without black patent slip
pers for little girls. But this year
it is being crowded by the popu
larity of whites, off-whites and
pastels. The pink shoe, so smart
for grown-ups, is the big news
for children too. And pink trim
on black patent is a favorite.
Pale blue and pearl luster grey
are also used for decorative
touches on patent.
Next to patent for general
wear is a lighter, livelier navy
in smooth leather. The little red
shoe, always a spring fashion, is
still important especially in the
new bright scarlet. But the
whites and paler tones are com
ing up fast, since they are
charming with all the airy full
skirted summer dresses.
Decorative Treatments
Just as grown-up shoes are
going in for dressmaker touches,
so the vamps on children's slip
pers show decorative treat
ments. There are white or col
ored nailheads, embroideries,
the sparkle of jewel trims, pip
ings and sitchings. For all that

pretty look which is the feature
of children's dresses.

ers lead the field, although
there are some suedes in navy,
beige or pastel shades. Mesh is
less in evidence than last year
When used, it is usually in trim
ming for whites and patents
handled in a dainty and delicate
way.
Fabrics in children's shoes are
mostly linens and shantungs,
which are good for late spring
and summer wear and practical
because they are easily dyed to
match any costume.
For everyday wear, there are
many attractive new patterns
for little girls. The good old sad
dle oxford is still in there. But
there are new colors in smooth
leather for the saddle reds,
blues, green as well as tan. New
er is the side zipper step-in, a
boy s favorite that the girls have
taken over. This particularly de-
siraDie m oiacK suede, appar
ently.
The one strap shows a wider
strap, a little more sole for school
and general daytime wear. Here
the color story is the bright
flame red, a lighter, livelier
brown, white and blue. On the
red and blue shoes a touch of
white decoration frequently
gives the light touch. Typical, a
one-strap of navy half with red,
blue and. silver thread twisted
into a braid effect and used to
trim the vamp for a shoe that
can be either school or dress.
Soft for Sturdy Wear
There are any number of new
treatments for the moccasin and
slip-on shoes. The kiltie theme is
good, as in a kiltie tongue slip
on of bright red leather. The
gore which holds the shoe in
place is concealed under the kil
tie tongue of this high straight
throatline design. In kilties and
similar casual types brown or
tan Is the most popular color,
followed by red and the new
smoke tones.
Elk is a good leather, soft and
sturdy, for these shoes are every
day wear, and there is rising in
terest in the soft glove leather
types. Some suedes and bucko
leathers, although these are
more in line for fall.
There will be sandals of
course as warm weather comes
on. The casual sandal of leather
with the adjustable buckle vamp
is a good style that will continue
to be important. It fits well. It's
practical. Red, brown, navy,
being, tan all good for these. A
little more dressed up and so

sandal which may be in white,
pastels, black patent or white.

Government Agency
Studying Adoptions
Through Black Market
By BETTY PRYOR
United Press Correspondent
Washington 0J.R) The Chil
dren's Bureau is trying to find
out how many babies are being
adopted through black market
ing.
As far as the government bu
reau knows, no organized black
market baby rings now are oper
ating in the country. But it sus
pects some black marketing ar
ranging adoptions for a price
by individuals, a spokesman said
today.
"Unquestionably some individ
uals are serving as intermedi
aries for money," Social
Worker Margaret Thornhill said.
Information Scarce
Miss Thornhill, who is mak
ing a year-long survey of adop
tions for the government agency,
said information on baby black
marketing is very difficult to
obtain. No one involved talks
about it. Even officials in com
munities where it s suspected
cannot estimate how many ba
bies may be involved, she said.
Her survey is aimed at finding
out why some 20,000 adoptions a
year are arranged outside of es
tablished public, private, . or
church social agencies. A second
aim is to determine what needs
to be done to protect the babies,
as well as the rights of their nat
21 N. CENTRAL
- '
ural parents and couples adopt
ing them.
No one knows how much black
marketing may figure in such
adoptions, she said.
Adoptions Increasing
All told, around 90,000 chil
dren of all ages are adopted each
year, about half of them by rela
tives and step-parents.
Adopting children has in
creased in recent years, Miss
Thornhill said. Requests from
couples for babies is about nine
times the number of infants
available for adoption through
social agencies, she said.
Reguests for older children are
considerably less, and the agen
cies have to "do a little promot
ing," she said. The agencies are
making a great deal of effort- to
place, older children,, and also
handicapped youngsters. Miss
Thornhill said.
