Dear Household: After reading both sides OF
the stepmother question want to put In a
word or two; who have some experience. Ny
father brought a stepmother into our home when
was only four years old. I never knew any
thing but love from her. She washed my
clothes and mended them, tried to keep my
little mind and body clean and rocked me to

done.

the house with her. but now that am married
and the mother OF four children nothing affords
me more pleasure than to have her come and
spend the day. or as many days as she will. in
my own home. My children love her as well as

pleasant for others. II she should go TO her

mothers is caused by bad judgment on the mans
part SO many Of them. as soon as the first

young girl, sometimes older than their own
children. when they really need a woman nearer
his own age. II he would get a wife with dis
