Mr MKM.IKIf IA February 2".
Last week wo heard about the Omaha
grown-ups who pledged themselves to bo
foster parent, to French war orphans.
This week a new light seems to hav.
dawned In tho philanthropic) world by tho
entry of the child. The Idea la of west
ern origin and Omaha la on. of the very
first cities to grasp It.
While th. parents are carina; for foster
children In FYance, many tittle ones are
giving up accustomed luxury to tho
amount of 10 cents a day to go for th.
maintenance of foster brothers and sla
ters In Franco. Each war orphan la slven
to come child, each has tho nama and
address of the other and tho correspon
dence between thorn la to be atrlctly In
tho French language.
Of course, th. checks are given In the
names of the parents of the children, but
th. child Is pledged to forego for each
day of tho year the spending of 10 cents.
One little tot la quite too young aa yet to
have had much of a votro In the matter,
1 year old: but tho mother will curtail
expenditure upon that child the requisite
amount.
Among the children pledged to this sac
rifice up to the present time are Orace
and Kather Smith, the IX and S-year-old
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Crit
tenden Smith; Orace Chatham ftedlck.
the baby daughter of the O. C. Redlcka;
George Paul Borglum, 12-year-old son of
tho August Moth. Borgluma; Elisabeth
and Virginia Barker, 12 and 10-year-old
daughter, of the Joseph Barkers; Jean
Palmer, 11 year, old, and daughter of
Mrs. Oeorge Palmer, and Eleanor Scott,
daughter of the Edgar Scotts. Among
th. younger set who have gone Into the
philanthropy are Miss Marian Hamilton,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Will Hamil
ton and Miss Virginia Offutt, daughter
of Mrs. Charles Offutt.
