Helen Babington LaCour has been accused of being an unfit mother by her former friend and roommate Josephine Seymor. Helen's daughter, a baby girl of eleven months, is being taken care of by Dr. Warren V. Traylor and his wife, who took the baby from a children's home for adoption. However, Ms. LaCour declares she never intended to relinquish her maternal rights.
The negative sleeve identified this as Josephine Seymour but the newspaper identifies her Mrs. Traylor.
