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.
