cost concern like this, and much of
this tasting is nothing but barefaced
pilfering, says London tradesman

Not to speak Of the articles these
people take-the offenders are general
ly women, am sorry to say the ar
ticles such as raisins, nuts, biscuits, a
grape or two here, and a strawberry
there, hundreds and hundreds of them
will half-covertly help themselves to
a peach, an apricot. or blood orange,
and when they have several children
with them, all scattered about shop
and doing the same thing, the matter
becomes serious. 1t happens in scores
of cases that the articles taken in this
way exceed the value of those bought
by fourfold. If word is spoken to
these people, their Indignation, mock
or real, is a sight; nothing can exceed
their effrontery.
1t has become serious question
one that is going to be debated with
others ere long by West End trades
mentor it is calculated that we lose
total of many, many thousands a
year by these tasters. We regard wo-
men who deliberately allow their
children to take expensive fruits in
this way, and then refuse to pay, as
almost creating a tendency to shop
lifting.

Justice 70 stepnotbors.

Most abused in the public estima-
tion of all the members OF human So
ciety is the stepmother. 1t is there
fore with n certain thrill of satisfac-
tion that we read in the daily chroni-
cles that in the slow evolutions Of
justice one stepmother al least has
been vindicated. She is not the terror
that tradition would have her to be;
she is not heartless; she is not cr'ie':
she is not selfish more than are most
mortals. She is simply good. aver
age woman. doing her best as she sees
1t. Such is the typical stepmother
whom novelists and other perversely
developed idiots have taught us never
theless to loathe.
In this case the stepmother had an
excellent opportunity to prove her
self devoid of narrow maternal preju.
| dice. 1t was one of those families
in which there are three brands OF
children, to use n common CONNER
cial term. On both sides il was a
second marriage. The husband had
his particular exclusive set of children.
and his wife hers. Then there was
set that Jointly belonged TO them
both. Now, to this meritorious step
mothers view. each of the exclusive
sets was as ungovernable and as mis-
chieyous as the other, and both with
equal viciousness pitched into the
third. The set that was joint property
had put out of joint. SO to speak, the
noses of all the rest.
The stepmother of tradition would
have shielded her own exclusive
children. But this stepmother was the
real thing; hence the difference. She
found it intolerable that the youngest
set of children should be the victims
of both the older sets, and she said
so, and declared that she herself was
at the mercy of the latter The law
stepped in at her request, and it is to
be hoped that it's intervention will les

In many savage tribes the step
mother is held in supersttious rever-
ence and fear, and yet the simple wife
has less liberty and more drudgery
than with other races. We. with our
civilized pretense of chivalry, treat the
stepmother nearly always ungenerous-
ly. In most cases she has more diff
cult duties TO perform than first wife,
and it is not at all certain that she
does not as often perform them well.
There have been stepmothers, and
there are many in the world, who were
or are among the sweetest, most pa
tient and most devoted of womanlSind.
Many a good man can look back and
trace his soundness of character and
his success in the world TO a good
stepmother. Honor to her, We say.
