most generous of them visit their
resentment upon the hapless little
creatures whose fate lies in their
hands.
But, OF course, jealousy is at the
bottom of the treatment that the
cruel stepfather accords his STEP
children. Men dote on their wives
being foolish over their children
and devoting their time to coddling
and fussing over their babies. They
like to see their children with their
arms around their mothers necks
and to hear mother singing them to
sleep. But when it comes to another
mans children on whom their wives
lavish the devotion and attentions
that they think belong to them, it is
another story.
1t is this question of how a STEP
father will treat her children that
every widow with children should
consider long and carefully before
she marries a second time. Because
not only the children's welfare but
her own happiness depends upon it.
And she does well to be suspicious,
for because a man brings her little
Johnny toys when he comes a-court-
ing is no sign that he is not going
to feel that it is his duty to 'disci-
pline" Johnny after he has married
Johnny's pretty mamma.
