That majority of unfortunate be saved and

the question of doubt Therefore essential that bill

reported by the Prisons Committee looking to the construction of

Father as Commissary.

We have an example of this in
the rather general continuance to
the present time of the primitive
habit of looking upon the father
as the domestic commissary,
and of considering that the obli-
cations with which he has been
especially charged have been full
filled when his children have had
furnished them all that is requir-
ed by their creature necessities
housing, clothing and food.
He is reckoned a dutiful father
if he keeps up the house and
leaves 1t to the mother and her
proxies to furnish education,
morals, religion and all the finer
accessories; he to take care of the
child as an animal, and she to
look after him as a person.
Without raising the question as
huence will suffice for the sue
cessfuI upbringing of a family of
girls, it is distinctly insufficient
for the development of young
masculine nature. There is a GER
tain personal quality inherent in
the normal man-but of which the
normal woman is destitute-and
without which no male child can
become a perfectly constituted
man; so that if he be submitted
exclusively to maternal treat
ment, he has small chance of
achieving an ideal manhood
OF course, there are mannish
women-a species of human freak
with which our generation is be-
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-07-19

THAT is the extent of the
Wv parental obligation which
father owes to his
children? The question deserves
consideration because of it's close
bearing upon the purpose of do
mestic life, which is to produce
children and make them service
able to the interests of their
times.
1t has been pointed out that the
terms father" and feeder are
but variable forms of one and the
same word. So understood, the
father is merely the one who pro-
visions the family and stands to
it in the relation of commissary.
In the more primitive forms of
familyhood, when increasing the
human breed. rather than improv-
ing it, met all recognized require
ments, nothing more would nat
urally be demanded of the father
tnan tnat the young OF the family,
like the young of the flock and
herd, should be amply supplied
with what will sustain life and
promote growth. So that the
faithful father would simply be
he who was the attentive feeder,
with no responsibility that looked
beyond what the children need
ed as young and growing ami
mails.
1t is one of the features of more
finished civilization that in some
respects it continues to cherish
customs and modes of thinking
and feeling inherent in civiliza-
ton of more primitive type, but
which we should suppose would
have been outgrown and left be-
hind with the process of time and
the broadening and mellowing of
sentiment.

ing made painfully familiar-but
freaks play no part in the econo-
my of nature. Mannishness is a
cheap counterfeit of manliness
and can not render to the boy the
office of masculine genuineness.
There is a certain special type
of robustness and stability which
the lad will gain by social con-
tact with the father which only
in rare instances will he acquire
from his mother; and the unfor-
tunate feature of our family life
at present is that the father, as a
rule, is so engaged and engrossed
with what lies outside of the real
inner life of the home that con-
tact between father and son is re-
duced to a minimum
Twofoldness of Percentage.
The twofoldness of parentage
answers to the twin energies in
nature by which its sterner and
gentler forces combine with each
other in the production Of the
finest forms of vegetable and ami
NAL life. The idea of duality runs
through everything.
Everywhere there is the ball
ancing and the cooperation of
Complementary forces.
The mother makes her contri-
button to the developing character
of the child, a contribution full of
wealth and tenderness. without
which the lad, as he comes into
mature years, would be destitute
of charm and incapable Of the
finest effects of personality. But
underneath the materially con-
ferred graces of character, and
sustaining them, there requires to
be a foundation made out of
sterner stuff, exactly as the tree
is unable to achieve the purposes
of its existence by virtue Of the
foliage with which it is clad or
the blossoms by which it is deco
rated except by the solidity of
its anchorage in the firm soil in
which it is planted.
Family life as it is maintained
in these hurried days of business
engrossment is such that fathers
and their boys. in hosts of cases,
hardly know each other.
The Withholding of paternal in
fuence is bound to leave its mark
in the one-sided development of
the boy; and it does leave its
mark.
Masculine Impress Necessary.
The young fellow, as he leaves
the warm home nest, commits
himself to flight that lacks the
sustaining power which can be
secured only by the impress upon
him of what is definitely and dis
tinctly masculine.
1t lies in the order Of nature;
beauty combined with stamina,
grace married into grit.
We might go on and say that
boyhood, and therefore manhood.
is suffering from the fact that so
much of our schoolroom training
is furnished by women; but that
would carry US into too wide a
field.
In all the serious matters of life
our only safe way is to keep close
to the intentions of nature. The
character of the individual de-
ponds upon it and so does the
quality of civilization.

The townships hereabouts should
loom large at the meeting of the
state Grange to be held in Flint
next week. There is no doubt that
they will be well represented in
the attendance but the really splen-
did thing would be to have them
outshine all others in the exhibits.
The northern townships are the
pride of the county and the crops
grown here compare most favor
ably with those of other sections of
Michigan. There will be much rival
ry between the different locals in
the exhibition and everybody should
do his share to make this end of
the county the richest appearing
community of them all. Because

q KIRTS for daytime and ordinary
~ wear are draped, but the draping
is achieved in cutting the material
and in shaping the skirt to the figure
rather than in the addition of extra
pieces of goods. But for evening wear
with airy and clinging fabrics, that
weigh nothing, to deal with. the de-
signs pose two or three materials and
several colors together. This is done
without making the skirt cumbersome
in the least.
Diaphanous draperies of this kind
result in the most Elusive and fasci-
mating color effects. One color CLOVIS
through another, and with the move
ment of the body in walking or dane
ing several colors are revealed by
themselves and in ever changing COM
bination with each other.
Nothing but thin frabrics can be
used in this way. One makes a mis-
take to drape a medium weight q
heavy fabric in any but the simplest
manner. The result can only be
clumsy.
Skirts for day wear cut along the
newest lines produce the top" figure,
with broad lines at the hips narrow
ing down to the smallest dimensions
at the feet. They are somewhat short
too, than in the. early season.
Smartness attends the wearer of these
eccentric lines, if she be slender. The
stout woman must forego them.
But for the slender or the heavy
figure, long lines of drapery like
those shown in the picture, are be-
coming.
