Father Demands Daughter. "Maureen is not sjpoiled. But she is a sensitive, loving little thing, and transplanting her will go hard with her. She may become unmanageable and troublesome. The thought drives me frantic. I have asked Ralph outright to leave her where she is, happy in her home and school, with pets, games, friends to help her develop into a lovely womanhood, but he pleads that he wants his daughter now. I have carried her through baby sicknesses; her father has contributed neither effort, money, time nor interest all these years. , "My own lawyer--an old man, says that I have no legal claim.

Occasionally, these laws may result in some injustice, as in the case' considered in this issue. A young mother, 'dying soon after her baby was born, asked her friend to care for it. The baby, Maureen, grew into a charming and attractive child. Now her father, uho has paid no attention to Maureen for five years, and has not contributed to her support, icants his daughter. He is married again, and isifairly prosperous. „ • The mollt&s friehd. Mary hee, who has'cared lovingly for Maureen during the trying years of .babyhood, doesn't want to give up the child.

A your\g wife, desperate at the coldness and dullness of an older husband, went away with a younger lover, set up an ideally' blissful little* Bohemian menage, had a year or two of radiant happiness and then went to her husband, to Rlead for a divorce because a child was expected. The husband not only refused the divorce, but claimed the child as his, as <it .would-be born while she wag still legally his wife. And his claim was sustained., Again, in a certain western statf it was formerly' the law that if a husband discovered proof of a wife's immoral action, even though it had been committed yearS' before her marriage to him, he could claim an annulment of his marriage and full custody of his children. Fortunately such a law would only rarely be ihvoked, aijd it was recently repealed. The absurdity of claiming that first, there was no marriage, and second, the father had upon the children the claim that~«nly~ legitimacy gives, was too patent, and thev law was swept away. But before it^was swept away, it was brought to public attention by a husband, „v father of four, who- was maintaining a very affectionate relationship with a certain widow in his neighborhood. He had discov ered early indiscretions on the part of his wife and cited, this, iniquitoas law, it was maintained, and the four small children were turned over to the widow, who promptly married their father. The mother went away, and shortly afterward took her own life?^ This is a true case.
