least dangerous o a wife is the poor, dear, dead lady lying R
in the cemetery under a ton of marble. Yet women CA get
more green eyes over their husbands frst-wives than they
can over any living vamp. 1t takes more brains nj heart
than the average woman possesses to bear with forutude the
sure knowledge that Ter husband loved and married another
before he did her.
And this jealousy is the root If. the cruel stepmother complex. Your
wife would be kind to any other child. 1t is only your child. that Is not
hers, that rouses the elemental savage in her. Surely nothing else in
human nature is as weak and respectable as this pealousy that max a
woman cold, and hard, and cruel to helpless little child that is in her
power; that makes her refuse a motherless little girl a mothers arms
and a mothers heart. H#e
