Copyright, 1920, hy The Press Publishing Co, (The Now York Rrening World.) YOUNG woman talked with me at considerable length about her troubles with a stepmother. I listened to her with great interest because she is_a girl of tact, toler ance and tenacfty, She said: “I wish you would write something about the stepmother question. A great deal of suffering would be saved if step- mothers understood the feeling of stepchildren. ‘I have no complaint to make against mine, and we are fairly good friends now. Yet as I look back on it, when my stepmother first came a few years ago, I doubt if I could, in my tender years, have acted differently from what I did, “In the bitterness of my heart I dis- Mked her, not so much for herself, but for the fact that she, in my childish mind, waa a ysurper. x “Now it seems to me, if my step- mother had only been willing to look the facts squarely in the face, to rea- son it out, to see my side of it and accordingly to have borne with me in that struggle, I am sure things would have been ‘much different. “Being an adult, I cannot heip but think that she might have put herself in my place, where of course, as a child, it was impossible for me to put myself in her. place. “Had she done thig and acted ac- cordingly, with a little patience, with a little perseverance, she would have won me and many yedrs of misery ‘ould have been averted, for children an be won over, and they soon realize the friends who take sufficient interest in them to bear with their faults. ‘My stepmother, however, stood on her rights. Asvuming that she hed married my father no matter how I felt, it was up to me to accept the situation and be @ docile, sweet child just as though my own mother had never existed, “If every grown-up would only etre a little consideration to child study— the psychology of youth, as It were— many family troubles would be avert- ed in the home of the stepmother.” It seems to me thjs is a fair view of the question. know a number of stepmothers, very good ones. Their success Hes in studying the needa and the crying yearnings of young people. er all, a stepmother must live with the children for 4 considerable number of years until they are able to go their own way. Thereforeg it would seem thoroughly worth while to get down to the level of the child and his views of things, no matter Uf they are a bit unjust and because of being older, to help meet these views. Of ‘course there are ‘occasionally children who are constantly resentful @nd cannot conform to conditions; but I am speaking of the average child who is pliable and who will soon recognize a friendly mother, even though she be but a foster Parent. The big work, and perhaps the big- gest burden, must be borne by the stepmother; yet she must realize that she has entered into a situation which she must be willing to meet with fine spirit as well as fortitude.
