situation. The child, who mas
seen the inside of the home life

gerous.
No child is capable of judging, eX-
cept externally, the cause Of such a
situation. Else they would not be
children. AS in all other cases OF
making a decision, the opinion is
bound to be biased.
A child's relation to his parent
should never branch over into the
field of that parents relation to his
other parent, whether it be MS
father or his mother. A decision is
bound to come, but when it does, 1t
must be a silent one. one that Will
not interfere with the child's
relation to father as a parent or his
mother as mother.
Because you do not personally
agree with a persons handling OF
certain relations that do not con-
Germ you, is no reason why you
SHOULD hold that against the person
in his dealings toward yourseH.

Your relationship to your father,
my dear, must remain that of
child to her parent, especially I'M

is a low sneaking trick, but since
you are positive of your mothers
innocence, it will really make little

following her for the rest of her life.
He is, no doubt, nadly in love with
her, and insanely jealous if she is
even friendly or civil to anyone else.
Don't make your mother any more
unhappy, and by all means don't
humiliate her by telling her of your
fathers actions in the matter. I
should think that after six months
