4 Stepmother's Problem
Dear winifred Black:

Dear winifred Black:
am married 10 a widower who
has two children. 1 tried to do all
in my power to make those children
care for me and appreciate me. as
was also an orphan and knew how
to sympathize with them, and dear
~ love children. but it was impos-
sible. They always have a hatred
toward me, and are always making
false reports 70 their father about
me and he upholds them in ii, and
all his attention and love are for
them, and he is always looking out
for their present and future interest
And 1 don't dare to mention one
of their faults 10 him. as he flies into
an awful rage and won't believe q
word Of il. But if they make accu-
sations against me he is all attention
and makes an awful scene, although
protest they are false, and they
are false.
Now / am faithful and true TO
him and help him in business. but il
IS not appreciated, although he
needs my help. Money is no object
10 him for anything for his chill
dren. but for me he is as miserly as
he can be.
When I am sick I get no sympa-
tbs or care. / am considered lazy,
not sick. I must die TO prove it.
Now please tell me what 10 do to
better matters. and greatly oblige.
MISERABLE.
Now, Miserable, / don't blame you
bit for feeling like your name.
ia be miserable, too, if 1 had to go
through with such an experience
and so would anyone else on earth
with q brain and a heart and any
kind of feeling at all.
It's,mean. an6 it's humiliating. and
it's unjust, and it's 700 hateful for
words-but what are you going to
do about it?
I'll tell you, just stand it for a
while, just little, little while.
( you manage right. it won't be
long
Talk Very Frankly
Now. I'll tell you how I'd manage
, it. ia wait till some time when
everything had been going pretty
well. when you had made a specially
good dinner for the children or had
given them some unexpected little
treat. and then I'd take them into
my room and have a talk. just a
plain. sensible matter-of-fact talk,
bout the whole situation.
I'd tell them just how felt. how
eager I was TO be a good mother to
them. and how determined 1 was 10
do my duty by them in every way.
I'd tell them how I was an orphan
myself when 1 was little. and how

sion of this ideal" Mir. Cummings con tinued, the ideal of fair play and un- selfish service-are limitless. To the wanianism, the spirit of KiwanIs, some it furnishes moral dynami l, which bears fruit in reconstructed business ideals. To still others it pro- vIdes a new incentive to personal en- terprise and success.
 "I<iwanis capitalizes all the finer impulses of the average American business man and slows him how he may harness them up with his insati- able desire to succeed It stimulates tde high resolve to succeed It stinu- lates the high resolve to excel, not for selfish reasons-but to excel that one may more abundantly serve," said he. and Kiwanians who have caught the true spirit of Kiwanis discard as un- worthy any primary desire for personal profit arising from Kiwanis membership. They stamp as absolutely undesirable the man who would capitalize a Kiwanis membership merely as a short cut to a business clientele. To be sure, Kiwan ians do exchange thousands of dollars worth of business each year, but not be- cause they are fellow club member. No organization in the world could succeed which was builded solely for the selfish purpose of exchanging business.
 Kiwanis provides an opportunity for man to accumulate ideas from men in other lines of business which will help make his enterprises successful. It pro- vides a means by which mems lives may be touched and their personalities molded into finer and nobler form. It provides a school in which a mans teach CTS are his fellow men, in that they ex- change experiences and translate ideals for mutual benefit MT. Cummings said.
 Kiwanians expect to receive business from fellow Kiwanians only as they have demonstrated their ability to render a 100 per cent service Kiwanis helps fit it's members to render such a service.
 No civic task is too great for Kiwan- ians whose minds and hearts have been saturated with the true Kiwanis spirit. said he. Every opportunity for service is challenge to prove the effectiveness
