The Child Of Divorce.

Fighting Modern Evils That De
stroy Our Homes" by Fred S. Miller,
.4s0 pages, 80 Illustrations. The l.. w.
Walter Co, Chicago. s1.50
We speak always with deepest SYM
patty of the orphaned child, but how
much sadder is the condition of the
child Of divorce. In one case there
is hallowed memory and the relief
OF words, in the other the silence Of
humiliation, the feeling that there is
always cruel comment, and too often
the neglect and the suffering combin-
ed pave the way to make the child of
divorce the child who falls victim
to temptation. 1t would seem as IL
nothing else would keep man or a
woman from the paths which lead to
divorce, the thought Of the children
for whose existence they are respons-
fble, would aid them to resist tempta-
ton. The child feels in some sense an
outcast, there is mystery shrouding
the home life and they must not ask
the reason, there is the unexplained
absence of a parent they loved and
many sensitive young girl has TAX
en- her life rather than live and face
1t all. This not only affects the child
of the parents Of these divorced but
also those who shall come after who
Slust wonder why one of the grand
Parents should never be mentioned.
The pity Of it all and the pity that in
telligent men and women to crafty
their own whims will subject child
to such suffering 1t leads to deceit

will seek the parent they have loved
and Of course such meetings must not
be known at home. Fighting Mod
ern Evils" recently published with a
Chicago man, Mr.. Miller, as the auth.
or, deals with il and is valuable for
this discussion alone. If the bool, is
widely read and it will be and must
be, it will save many heartache and
many disrupted home. Read it
yourself and if any OF your friends
seem on the brink of divorce, spare
Io Pains to have them read It, too.
and thus save some home and the dear
children there suffering and disgrace.
Be tender always to that silent suf-
Iferer, the child of divorce.

I'VE regret the thought and tens

the sentiment expressed and the Lam
