There may be two opinions as 20 Jan
Kubehk the violinist. Some may
think him technically perfect but with
out emotional fire. Others may think
his music the pinnacle OF exquisite,
finished art.
But there can be no two opinions Of
Kubelik. the devoted father, as he rea
vealed himself to me in an interview
Tuesday morning. In that role he is
perfect.
And Kubelik's children are all girls.
which makes his devotion so much
more charming and so unique. First
there are the twins, Mary and Anna
Just eight years old Then there are
Hannah, Clara and the baby. Dat
janna.
Kubelik is pleasant and genial, with
an even temper and a philosophical
turn of mind. He has a disposition to
ignore established ideas Of things and
set his own values. Then he has the
cries. All these things explain why
he can regard five daughters as a
blessing instead Of a cross.
Girls are funny creatures" said
Kubelik with a laugh, very amusing
very. They are never twice alike" He
has evidently found his daughters an
interesting study.
DO you know" said he as an after
thought, 4 have never even wanted a
boy, never thought OF one at all.
Five daughters have set Kubelik to
thinking about many things. He says
he has tried TO look at the world
from the wOman's side Of IL. Hence
comes his theories, and they are very
advanced.
He Is a Feminist.
81 am an out and out feminist" Ku-
belik declared.
Each of his girls is to have a pro-
fessiOn.
ut is necessary" Kubelik said, "to
make a woman's life-what you call
il ?-signif1cant."
81 have watched my girls at their
play. kubelik went on. Each one
wants to be something. a doctor. a
teacher, an artist, a housewife. Why
shall they not be? / am going TO Gull
tivate that ambition, not repress it,
Kubelik is going to see TO it that his
daughters are not dependent upon
husbands for their happiness.

Kubelik explained his theory OF the
feminist movement

women feminists." he told me. The
brute I'm man has said TO women.

But not for always, Kubelik thinks.
Some women are RISING up against the

men, those in whom the brute has
been tanned are joining with them.
They are feminists. too. 1t is time for
a new order of things.
Where the brute in man is most OBJ

violent lengths. he thinks.
But you have no need to be fem
inists in America at all. said he

self sufficient. and he also wants them
