K ROOM FOR ONE MO F>r
I By Fran Pachter
O ANDY and Jo Laurence en-
Joyed a happily married life.
1 enjoyed all the more because
their union had been blessed with
five boys. Both having been or
phans, their wildest dream 3 had
been realized getting a home and
a family. Jo had kept well hid
den, her disappointment over
there not being a little girl among
her brood. It was not until her
club visited the orphanage that
the idea struck her. '
In her direct way, she broke
the news at dinner. “How would
.you fellowj like a sister?”
Six heads lifted and gaping
mouths greeted her announce
* ment.
Randy gave her an incredulous
stare and blurted out "Jo, it’s not
true!"
t “Not the way you think, 1 want
to adopt a child.” Jo laughed.
1 Jim. spoke for the boys. "You’re
kidding. We’re crowded now, be
sides, who’d want a girl?” A
chorus of approval from his broth
ers agreed with him.
Dinner over and the boys in
their rooms doing homework, Jo
and Randy settled themselves in
the living room.
Jq hoped Randy would say
sohaething. He ques.ioned, "Jo,
this means a lot to you, doesn't
it?” ■ r v
Jo nodded, “It hit me out of the
blue. You should see those kids, I
wanted to take them all,”
Randy’s expression told her that
.he too remembered. The parade
of people looking them over, each
child hoping for a home and fami
ly. Randy and Jo had never been
chosen, each had stayed there till
grown. It had been their shared
heed for each other that nourished
love through childhood into mar
riage.
Jo spoke, “Don’t you see, we
know that life. 1 feel it's our duty
to take one of them. It would wash
away those bitter years."
i “The boys are against it and we
don’t have too much room.” Ran

dy was running true to form, but
Jo had met up with solid male
opposition “before. ,
.“Let’s get permission for them 1
to visit. It might change their at
titude. Let's face it, kids all have
a selfishness--about.,.sharing. It
might do them good to see those
orphans.”
Randy, knowing jp's die-hard
policy, said, ‘iSel.. it .up. and we’ll
see how they react.”
Jo encountered no opposition as
her presidency with the woman’s
club weight and
consent was readily given. The f
kids were pessimistic but Jo over- !
rode their objections and . they
found themselves at the orphanage.
Turning them- loose among—the
children, the Lawrences paused
in the matron’s office, explaining
their desires Jlq _ overcome the
boys objections.
Jo looked--up to see Jim had
returned wlth~Kts—brothers—Hnecl
up behind him. Stevie, ten ran to
his mother, bursting into tears,
saying, “Mommy, they make me
feel bad. We’Ve got so much apci'
they ain’t got nothing."
Jo felt a papg o,f remorse, see
ipg b®r carefree boys', sober with
their awakening to a world, they’d
never knew existed, '
Jim, endeavoring to be nonqhal ’
ant said, “It’ll be hard picking
They are all nice kids," ;
Jo and Randy entered the line
up room. It hadn't changed, or
. was It that all orphans had the
i same look? Two -children -stood

I Jo knelt at eye level before the
[ frightened children. “Would you
• like to come and live with us?”
The littie girl stared hard at Jo,
! disbelig! on her face. "Do you’
' mean both of us?”
i „ Jo nodded and her arms en
circled the two. Looking up she
