Point of Law.
THE DUTY OF A STEP-FATHER
Law Seemingly Needed to Compel Men
Who Marry Widows to Care
For Their Children.

Ought there to be a law in the Dis
trict of Columbia compelling men who
marry widows with children to properly
care for the steD-children Sc acquired?
This is the question that was today
referred to the Corporation Counsel by
Commissioner MacfaTland as a result
Of a letter he received on the subject
from Mrs. John Milton Gitterman. a
member Of the Northeast Conference Of
the Associated Charities.
Mrs. Gitterman's letter points out
that there are many badly treated step
children in the District among he poorer
classes. She claims hat a large part
Of such suffering comes from the fact
that the little ones mothers. who have
supported them. become of a less eco
they have 20 turn their attention TO
home pursuits and cannot work out for
Step-Father's Duty.
IN view of this. she says. the hus-
bands. in return for the mothers work
at home. ought to be compelled by the
law 10 provide suitable support for the
step-children. Mr.. mcfarland sent the
letter to the Corporation Counsel to
ascertain his opinion on the legal pos
sibilities Of such a measure.
There seem to be-, says Mrs. Glitter
man. so many helpless little ones,
fatherless and the children of widows.
