This happens far less frequently nowadays than I did in Dickens's

time.

In July there were three casCS of obandoned children reported in the newspapers. Last month there were live.

None of them appeared to be in distress. They were left in churches, in omnibuses, on door- steps, given to strangers to "hold for a minute" and never reclaimed, and. In one instance, left in a closed suitcase in the grounds of a private house.

WELL FED AND CARED FOR.

The curious thing about uban- doned babies in that they almost never look as if they had been any. where near starvation. They are almost invariably clean, well fed, and well cared for, sometimes with a little supply of baby clothes left. with then, often with a note giving their Christian name, and message like "Please look after my baby.

What, then, makes a mother netually abandon her child? For all she knows, she may never see her son or her infant daughter again. The child, for all she knows, may die of cold or shock before it is ever found.

In trying to shift the respon- Hibility for the little life on to unknown shoulders, the dis- traught mother incurs a dread- ful responsibillly of her own. In the last century most aban- doned children were found to be legitimate. To-day they are nearly all children, of married mothers who, are so poverty atricken, so without hope, that they believe.dny fato will be better for their child than the fate of being kept at home.

RELIEF DESPISED.

An unmarried mother nowadays, if she has the means of support- ing her child, is not driven by fear of shame to this dangerous way of escape. It is the unemployed mother, faced with the support of another unwanted child, who abandons it with touching faith in the altruism of other people.

There are many forms of relief available to the mother who Itterally cannot support her child.

These reliefs are despised by the sort of mothers who prefer abandoning their children because they Imagine that by being left on a kindly doorstep the child will have 1 better chanco. They cherish fairy-tale illusions about the fate of the foundling.... imagine their child brought up in comfort, made "a little gentle- man." spared the ignomy of an "institution" or the despised stigma of charity.

Having imagined so far, they are too ignorant to imagine a little further, to realise that the strangera will almost certainly be unwilling to adopt a child of un- known parents and unpredictable tendencies.

TRAINED FOR WORK. People can always be found rendy and anxious to adopt known children from adoption houses, but the founding fn the basket always goos straight to the polleo station. From the police station the child in sont to tho "Institu tion," which all people In fear of It still refer to ne the "workhouse." The abandoned child onda in just that situation which the in- stitution-despising mother thought she would avoid.

Luckily for the children whose mothern throw them so precarl- ously on an indifferent world. the fate of foundlings is to be well and simply cared for and Irained to support themselves when they are older.
