Other women teach their children to despise their fathers by always criticizing them and calling attention to their faults, lPitey tell the children that their fathers are lacking in enter - Pelee, that they are poor business men, that they are 100 easy and .let people take advantage of them, that they have this and that weakness, until the child's mina is poisoned with the idea that his father amounts to nothing and his opinions are not to be respected. Few women deliberately set them - .4 selves to teach their children to love and appreciate their fathers. Few wo- men try le make their children see their fathers as heroes who, for their sakes, are fighting the battle of life as bravely end gallantly as any knight of old. Few women teach their children to show real gratitude to their fathers. Why so many, women tail in this im- portant duty is partly through careless- . nese and a hack of thought, but mostly because of an unc0uscious mother jealousy, They want to be first .with their childreu and monopolize their love.
