Dorothy Dir's Letter Boz

1 the stepmother's task is made in finitely harder by the relatives of the first wife. Their foolish and criminal Jealousy makes them teacn the children to look upon their step mother as an enemy instead of a friend, and to regard her evefy ef- fort to control them, and teach them good manners, as tyranny.
 Many a stepmother is better fitted l to raise children than their own mother ever was, and she would glad ly bestow upon her husbands chil- dren all the love and tenderness or her heart. if they would only let her. And generally the children would ac- cept their stepmother as real mother if lot of meddling grand mothers and aunts did not prejudice them. and keep them inflamed against their yicarious mother. It Is grea, crime that these stirrers-up of strife commit. DOROTHY DlA.
 Dear Dorothy Dix: Is there any way to make a husband control his temper? 1 try very hard to please my husband. I never contradict him. nor disagree with him, but I cannot do or say anything without his find ing fault in it, and quarreling with me over 1t, and I live in terrior or rousing the devil within him.
 My husband thinks he Is model husband because he Is liberal with money, and gives me what l need but he tells me that I should make allowances for his other bad habits, as he has that good feature. But fn my estimation 1t Is kindness and gentleness that make domestic hap piness, not money. The worst or IL is that my husbands temper Is kill ing my love for him. and snudoer T when I think of the long years of misery ahsad n,s of msi MART feT BRow% s Ss | Answer: In all of my life I have only known of one case of a man 1 with a brutal temper being reformed by his wife. This man had literally killed two gentle. sweet, refined d women by his cruelty. Finally, he married a third wife, who was a vir- ago. she could get so much madder than he could, and talk so much | quicker, and say 80 many more fn- sultinr and abusive things than he could ever think of, that she got him SO cowed and terrorized that he be- came as meek as Moses. and scarce lily dared to open his mouth In her presence.
 People who give way to theif tempers are nothing but bullies. and a bully Is a coward whose bluff you can call If you have the nerve to do 1t. So the only way you can deal with anybody who goes into rages is to beat them to 1t, and make them afraid of you. T. l right in one respect. Matrimony Is a series of compromises. No man or woman is . ever perfectly satisfac- tory husband or wife, since none o1 us are perfect, and if you would be happy though married. you must be continually balancing your accounts
 and setting this good quality against that bad quality. and in that way you strike a good average.
 Undoubtedly, a high-tempered hus- | band is hard to endure, but he Is far better than stingy one, or a no-ac- | count one, or & sullen and grouchy one. The wife who has all the com forts that money buys can afford to ] turn a deaf ear to many irritable speeches, and she may still
