Answer:

The angles in the human triangle are never e0 acute as they Bro when the three parties concerned are a mother, her child and her second husband. Compared with that iragedv that of the "other woman" or} "other man" is lie llgible. For no woman can sufler as she can be made to sufler through er child. No man can be so torturned with Jealousy o! any lover as he can be of his wife's child who Ls not his. And no child's life can be so embittered and warped as it can be by the unkind treatment of a stepfather.

_ It is a curious thing that although the stepmother has been the vll lam in innumerable stories of cruelty to children, very little has ever been said about the stepfather. Apparently it has been token for granted that he accepts his wife's children as his own. provides for them cheerfully, ‘give them a father's guidance; whereas the stepmother wreaks her petty spite and jealousy upon her husband's children,

I believe that this state of affairs is far awav from being the truth and that there are more good stepmothers than there are good stepfath- ers. I believe that men oftener resent their wives’ children by their former husbands than women dc their husbands’ children bv former Wile-t Al? my rate, so many letters come to this column from agcnlzed women whose husbands mistreat their children and who are torn to pieces between their two lovers that I have come to believe that it is s very hazardous thing for a woman with children to marry a second time

Of course. a number of explanations mal 4e given for hsr as hsrcoivii-x Oncjs the financial angle. What with adenold5 and tonsils auo an education and clothes and food and shelter. children are an cxpcirive luxury. and it takes a man with a generous soul to sec all that he makes going to support another man's children.
