Stepn7other|s Job
Is Difficult and
Requires COURAGE

A woman is going to marry a
widoWer with two adolescent chill
dren who have been living with
thier grandmother since their
mothers death. The father is
particularly devoted to the elder
of the children, who is a beautiful
and attractive young girl of 16,
and the prospective stepmother
frankly admits that she is con-
sumed with jealousy of her and
wants to know if I do not think
she should tell her fiance that she
is not willing to have the children
live with them after they are mar
ried and that he must leave them
with their grandmother.
Well, if she feels that way about
the children, the only decent
thing to do is to state her position
unequivocally on the subject and
give the widower a chance to
choose between her and his chill
dren. Otherwise she. will bring
misery down on the heads of all
concerned.
Shock to Father
Of course, it will be terrible
surprise and shock to the father
to find out that his beloved chill
dren are regarded as fatal han
dicap to him. 1t never enters his
dear dumb head that the more a
woman loves her husband, the
more she is apt to resent the first
wife, who had his youth and ro-
nance and all pertaining to her,
and that there are no sirens of
whom she is so passionately jeal-
Gus as she is of his children.
OF course, there are some wom-
en- whose arms ache for children,
who can take their husbands S
children to their breasts and love
them as if they were their own.
There are big and generous
hearted women who can be fair
and just to their stepchildren, but
if a woman is at all inclined to be
jealous and if she is of possessive
nature, it is a dangerous expert
ment to bring the stepchildren to
live with her.
It is not to be denied that the
lot of the stepmother is difficult
one. Taking it by and large. it Is
the hardest and the most thank
less job on earth, and one Won
ders why any woman ever has the
courage to undertake it.
Children Unoppreeiotive
And if very few children ever
show any perception of what their
parents do for them or express
any gratitude, still less are STEP
children appreciative of their
stepmothers. AS a general thing
they resent her and regard her
best efforts in their behalf as un-
warranted meddling in their af-
fairs. The discipline they will &C
CCPG l1Olll 0llCI OW1l uloUliC1 O1lCS
will not take from stepmother,
and this makes more difficult the
task of the woman who is trying
to guide Alright her husbands
children and be a mother to them.
If there are cruel stepmothers,
there are also demon stepchildren,
but the stepmother should always
bear in mind the fact that her
lot Is of her own choosing. She
knew what she was doing when
she married a widower. with chill
dren. She deliberately elected
herself to the position Of mother
to them and she is, of all women.
the most damned if she fails in
doing her best to take their
mothers place to them.
Oh, it is hard job being a STEP
mother. Hard for her and hard
for the children, and a woman
should search her own soul be-
fore she undertakes it.
