Kay Fairchild, Stepmother

The Columbia Broadcasting System brings you Kay Fairchild, the real life story of a step-mother raising another woman's children.

The soap opera tells the tale of a woman trying to fit into her new family but it proves to be challenging for the new mother. Her disagreeable mother-in-law Fairchild, Edith Woods, Miss Whitehall, and other women in her husband's life dislike Kay and do what they can to make her life miserable.

Sponsored by Colgate Tooth powder, the announcers promote the tooth powder to both mothers and step-mothers. The show is also sponsored Cashmere bouquet lotion, which asks that you do the "kiss test by kissing your hand to feel crackly dry skin.

For more soapy stories, tune in to Stella Dallas, Clara, Lu and Em, and Linda's First Love.
