THE STEPMOTHER
By DOROTHY DIX,


Two pitiful little. half-starved, lily
clad children, their bodies covered
with bruises. their hands and faces
scared by red hot irons. have recently
been rescued from their inhuman
step-mother, and their still more bru-
tai father, by the Society for the
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children OF
New York.
Unfortunately the law provides for
no adequate punishment for such a
crime as that committed by these two
people. There should be something
with boiling oil in it done to a wom-
an who. under the sacred guise Of
motherhood. abuses the defenseless
little children who have been COM
mitted into her hancs, while all the
tortures Of the inferno are not ePr. IL

own flesh and blood r, -s.fldren that
he has brought into the world and
for whose well-being he is respon-
sible.
And right here i want to call at
tention to one peculiar thing. and
that Is that in the great majority of
cases when a mans wife dies and
he marries a second time, he seems
to lose his sense OF fatherhood to-
wards his first wife's children. OF
course, this is not always the case.
but observe how often the first set

Thousands Of women no longer
resign themselves TO the thought
that sickness and distress are nat
ural. They know better, for in
Mothers Friend they have found
wonderful penetrating remedy 10
relieve many dreaded experiences.
Nervousness, bearing down and
stretching pains are among the dis
heartening and distressing expert
ences women everywhere say they
entirely escape during the period of
expectancy by the use OF Mothers
Friend.
Here is a remedy that softCns the
myriad of broad. flat abdominal
muscles just beneath the skin. en-
ables them to expand without the
usual strain upon the ligameuts and
nerves and assists nature to make
IL possible for women to 90
through maternity without many ot
the dreaded symptoms so familiar
to a host of women.
by regular use throughout the
period the muscles expand easily
when baby is born. and pain sud
danger at the crisis is consequently
less.
Mothers Friend is for external
use only, is absolutely and entirely
safe and has been used by thou
sands of women awaiting the great
est time in a woman's life for over
half a century.

own children, and SO she runs to
him eternally' with little stories of
their misdoings, with complaints.
with criticisms. with demands that
their father discipline them until
she makes him, too. turn upon them
with undeserved harshness so that
the poor little children come to be
orphaned indeed. for they have
lost their father as we'll as a
mother.
We are all horrified at the
thought of the little starved chill
dren with their bruised bodies, and
scared hands and faces that the
Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Children of New York has
rescued from their inhupan step
mother and father. but not all
wrongs that are done to children
are physical wrongs.
1t is just as cruel a thing to
starve a child for love as it is to
starve 1t for food. External nag
ging and fault finding can bruise
a child's sensibilities just as black
ly as can a blow on its flesh. The
memory of an unloved, neglected
childhood will leave more enduring
scars on a child's character than can
the brand of a red-hot iron on its
face. So 1 urge every father not
to take 1t for granted that his
children's step-mother is real
mother to them. but to see to il
himself that his motherless little
ones are cherished and have their
place in the sun as they would have
done had their own mother lived.
Never forget that when God took
your children's mother. He laid a
double burden of parenthood upon
you. and required of you to be
mother and father both, and this
obligation you cannot shift to the
shoulders of any woman, no matter
who she is.
1t is granted that the role of the
step-mother Is not an easy one. and
that rearing another woman's chill
dren is a hard and generally
thankless task. 1t takes that mys-
terious foreordained mother love,
that Is the wisest Providence of
Heaven, to give a woman the long
suffering patience to deal with chill
dren who are brimming over with
mischief, who are restless, inqusi-
tive, unreasonable: who tear their
clothes and get dirty. and who fall
from one scrape into another.
1t is only mother love that hears
the music of the spheres in childish
howls and cries. that sees beauty
in smeary little faces; that per-
ceives the dawning of intellect In
ceaseless childish questions. It is
only mother love that finds 10y
in unending ministrations to help
less little bodies and souls. To all
others 1t is the hardest Job that
any human being ever undertakes,
and the least rewarded.
But the woman who marries a
man with children should remem-
ber that she voluntarily assumes
this life work. She knew what she
was doing when she took into her
hands the fate of helpless little
children. and woe to her II she fails
in one jot or title of her duty. for
Christ Himself has pronounced her
doom:
1T is better for such a one that
he should tie a milestone about his
neck and be cast into the sea than
to offend one of these little ones"
