Dorothy Dix Says
Stepfathers Often Mistreat
Children Due to Jealousy

Dear Miss Dix: Three years ago
married fine man with whom
I was, and still am, deeply in love.
I have son II years old by former
marriage. I told my husband-to- be
that unless he was sure that he
would welcome my boy and be
friend to him we must postpone our
marriage until my boy had grown.
but he assured me that he and the
lad would be real pals, and my son
Looked Forward happily to having a
father. HoweyAr, as soon as wetkere
married my husband, who loves all
children except mine, turned against
my boy, who did everything to please
him. He made things so unpleasant
for the boy that he had to leave
home and 60 to, live with an aunt
But he grieves for me and it breaks
my heart to be parted from him.
Worry over this trouble has wrecked
my health so that l am afraid that
my mind is becoming affected I am
no longer concerned with my per-
sonal happiness, for that is gone,
but I do so want to do the right
thing by both my husband and my
son. Please tell me which is greater
my duty to my son or my hus-
band? CONFUSED.
Answer: The angles in the human
triangle are never so acute as they
are when the three parties con-
cerned are a mother, her child and
her second husband. Compared with
that tragedy that Of the "other
Evening star., 1939-10-26

woman" or "other man" is negligible
For no woman can suffer as she can
be made to suffer through her child
No man can be so tortured with
jealousy of any lover as he can be
of his wifes child who is not his.
And no child's life can be so embit-
tered and warped as it can be by the
unkind treatment of a stepfather.
1t is curious thing that although
the stepmother has been the villain
In innumerable stories of cruelty to
children, very little has ever been
sAid about the stepfather. 7--'-
T believe that there are more good
stepmothers than there are good
stepfathers I believe that men
oftener resent their wives children
by their former husbands than
women do their husbands children
by former wives. At any rate, so
many letters come to this column
from agonized women whose hus-
bands mistreat their children and
who are torn to pieces between their
two loves that l have come to believe
that it is a very hazardous thing for
woman with children to marry a
second time.
Now, as to your concrete problem,
I do not think that there is any
question of duty in it. 1t is all a
matter of your preference. and you
should do whatever will make you
the happiest. Your boy is IT, He
is a man. No matter how kind a
father he had, you would soon be
losing him because he will be going
of to school and and after that into
some business or profession and he
would be gone from you. That is
what happens to every mother and
what she must prepare herself to
meet. But while you will lose your
boy when he goes about the business
of life for himself, you will still keep
him through the deep love that
exists between you.
On the other hand, you will have
your husband for many years, and
if you are big enough to forgive him
for the way he has treated your son,
may may yet have many happy years
together. would counsel you under
the circumstances to try to realize
that jealousy is madness that
makes people not only do unkind
things to others. but things that
torture themselves. You might pity
your husband, seeing that he has
done himself a greater wrong than
he has done either your boy or your
self-for he has lost you.

cut so that no two apples are cut
exactly the same.
Let the men choose from the larger
pieces, while the girls take the small.
er pieces. The men then find their
partners by locating the girl who
has the piece of apple that matches
theirs.
These teams, each composed of a
man and girl, then face each other
across line of real apples sus-
pended from a long wire by pieces
OF cord. At the go" signal each
team tries to eat its apple first.
The hilarious guests will soon dis
cover that this game requires q
delightful degree of close co-opera-
ton. The rules say that when a
bite is taken out of the apple, the
player must step back to chew it, but
nobody takes this rule too seriously
However, touching the apple with
the hands is definitely out.
Witch Hunt. Before the party, 30
or 40 small witches cut from paper
are hidden in various places around
the room. Four teams are chosen
the ghosts, the bats, the cats and
the owls. Each team picks a cap
tain, who is given a container to hold
the witches which his team finds.
Nobody else is allowed to pick up a
witch. but as soon as any PLAYER
locates one he calls for his captain
by giving the proper signal for his
team.
Thus, the cats signal is a meow,
while the bats squeak, the ghosts
moan and the owls hoot. When two
or three players on different teams
flnd the same witch and start sig
mailing for their captains, frantically
trying to drown each other out, the
whole party goes mildly insane. The
team bagging the largest number of
witches. OF course, wins the game.
Feeling Is Believing.-Place a
number of small, familiar objects in
paper or cloth sacks, tie string
around the top of each sack and
hang them all from a long wire
stretched across the room. Each
sack bears a number. and each guest
receives pencil and slip of paper
listing the corresponding numbers.
The guests are then turned loose
on the sacks, preferably in dimly
lighted room. BY feeling them with
their fingers, they must try to de-
termine what each sack contains
AS soon as they know. they write
the object down on their slips oppo-
site the correct number. The most
nearly correct list after a specified
period OF time wins the. game.
Good objects for the game are a
dog s~'rubber bone, a fountain pen

ferent necklines-the high, collarless
style to set OF your big and blazing
necklaces, or with a narrow collar,
which is more f1attering to those
who need a bit of softness next to
their faces.
Send for the pattern and make
this lovely dress right away. Have
it in faille, thin wool or fiat crepe,
in black or complimentary color.
1t will send your morale soaring
when you trip forth to work thus
charmingly (and inexpensively)
frocked.

Halloween Telegrams.-Each guest
is given a slip of paper and a pens
Gil. Then they are allowed 5 or 10
minutes to compose 10-word tele-
gram, the words of which begin with
the letters in Halloween" and in
the same order. Any letter may be
substituted for the apostrophe,
which makes it little easier. But
even so, this game will produce some
ridiculous results. A prize is award
ed for the funniest or most original
telegram.
Here's an example-but don't ex-
pect to win a prize with this one:

Scavenger Dance.-If you dance
at your party, here's an idea that
furnishes lot of fun and serves as
an excellent mixer when the mem
oers OF the crowd don't all know
each other.
String four or five small Hallov-
cen symbols on a 2-foot length of
cord-such things as pumpkins, cats,
bats and witches cut from paper,
Give each girl one of these strings
and have her fasten it around her
neck. 4
Inform the boys that the one who
collects the largest number of these
Halloween symbols will win a prize.
Then start regular cut-in dance.
with boy collecting a token from
each girl with whom he dances.
Make each girl drop out as soon as
all her symbols are gone. This will
mean furious cutting in by the odd
men as the girls drop out, and will
give even the wallflowers rush that
they are bound to enjoy.
Good. luck and loads of fun at
your Halloween party!

Exercises
Tape Measure More
Important Than
Daily Weighing
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Any one can lose weight through
freak dieting; starving off pounds
and leaving skin loose in parts
where too many pounds disap-
peared. Women who so reduce can
call themselves slim, that is true,
but they are quite lacking in figure
glamour! They are pound wise and
inch foolish, so to speak. They for
get that figure appeal is attained
not so much by dropping off pounds
as by properly redistributing exist
ing weight. Frequently a woman
above the normal weight can be
most attractive if her figure is we'll
proportioned and her muscles firm
and her skin healthy looking.
Women must learn that the tape
measure Is a truer means of deter
mining figure perfection than the
scales.
SO you see corrective exercise is
required to mould your pounds into
a graceful. svelte silhouette. And
corrective exercises are given grad
ually. Too strenuous exercises cause
breathlessness, dizziness and fatigue.
You should begin with limbering
movements. and when your body be-
comes supple you may concentrate
on the specific areas which need
correction.
I believe so strongly in corrective
exercises for creating health as we'll
as beauty of figure and face that
I cannot urge girls and women too
strongly to get busy and adopt
specific exercise programs and to
be loyal to them.

gram. InclOse a self addressed,
