By DOROTHY DIX.

Raising a girl is no one-man Or no
one-woman Job. 1t takes both the
father and the mother to turn out a
specimen 81 that is credit :. to the human ma
lives in. The ideal force, she must
have sweetness and strength, she. must
have innocence and knowledge. These
qualities are the composite of the
blending of the feminine and masculine
influence on plastic character.
The world has always been SO busy
rhapsodizing over mothers influence
over her children that 1t has left itself
no breath in which to speak of ia
theirs influence. But the latter is
equally as valuable and even more po-
tent The pity of 1t is that so few
American. children ever have the bene-
fit of this benign power in shaping
their lives.
For in this country it is sadly true
that in most families father is nothing
but a. cash register. He feels that he
feeds and clothes his children and pays
their school bills, and he leaves all the
balance to the mother. He doesn't even
get acquainted with them enough to
and what their real abilities are. He
lets their mother set her ineffaceable
seal upon them. although he may know
her to be silly and. vain and frivolous
and everything he doesn't want his
sons and daughters to be. '@~
Most men recognize some duty they
owe their sons along this line, although
they generally never pay it; at the
same time few, men ever realize that
they have a sacred obligation to help
develop their daughters characters.
They feel that they can turn over their
girls to their wives with a clear con-
science. go s
Never was there's greater mistake.
biologists tell us that daughters are
closer to their father in spiritual and
mental fibre than sons are; that there
is the same close tie between them that
there is between mothers and sons
Common observation and experience
bear this out. Every woman will tes-
tify that she has always UNDERSTOOD
her father better than she has her
mother, and been In closer sympathy
with him. Size has found it easier to

DEATH OF DANIEL E. CARRIER
,Steciaf to The T'cleprnhh

Special to The Telegraph
New Bloomfield, Pa, Feb. IT,
Daniel e. CARRIER died at his home
here yesterday ms ming. Mr.. CARRIER
had been in feeble health for several
years and on Tuesday last had a
stroke of paralysis. from which he
never recovered. Mr.. CARRIER was 73
years old and was a son Of the late
Daniel and Mary (Bower) CARRIER. He
was the youngest of a family OF six
children. He is survived by his wife
and four sons, George w. CARRIER, of
New Bloomfield; Thomas A. CARRIER,

conhde in him than she has in her
mother-that is, of course, IL she had
real human father and not a petrified
crouch or an animated check book of a
father.
1t is Just as true that every great
woman has had a great father as
1t is that every great man has had
great mother. That is why talent
and great mans genius reappears in
his daughters son.
A fathers influence over his daugh-
prepotent because Of this subtle bond
between them. And he gives to his
daughter not only in Inheritance but
In training some quality of strength
and bigness that a mother can never
give. You can pick out among your
acquaintances the women who have
been chums with their father without
knowing anything of their personal
history, They are more tolerant less
personal, have more varied interests
and generally broader sympathy with
life than the women who have been
under exclusively feminine tutelage all
This being the case. Is it not pathetic,
Is 1t not, criminal, that more fathers
do not seek to influence their daugh-
ters for good-that they do not spend
more time trying to put frills on their
girls characters instead of buying them
frills for their backs?
Think of the misery that might be
avoided If fathers took enough interest
in their daughters beaux to influence
the girls to eliminate the unworthy
ones! Think of the sorrow and want
it would save If every father Influenced
his daughter to learn some good way
by which she could make a living
should she be thrown on her own re-
sources Think of all it would mean
to the world If fathers impressed on
their daughters characters an honor
able mans ideal of honor, honesty and
courage!
The fathers influence is just as i'm
portant as the mother's-the pity of
half orphan, to all intents and pur-
poses. She misses fathers hand in
forming her character and so misses
the best thing that life could give her.

yy1dI,r WITH TWo,PTEcE w I :, SKIRT SKIRT WITH Or
ISETTE.
1t is not often that one model can be
used either with or without the sleeves
but this gown is equally successful treated
in both ways. The sleeves are the new
sort joined to the gown at big armholes
and, when they are omitted, the blouse
can be worn over any preferred guimpe.
Since sleeveless. effects are much in vogue,
the frock is quite as smart made in one
way as the other. The fullness in the
two-piece skirt is arranged to form box
plaits, one at the front and one at the
back. Although most girls will prefer
the peplum, the dress is complete with
out. In the picture, the new taffeta that
is light in weight and beautifully lustrous
is trimmed with simple banding but this
frock could be made from serge to be
durable and practical or from light weight
wool as we'll as from silk, although taffeta
promises to be favorite material of the
incoming season. When high neck is
wanted, a chemisette of lace or net can be
worn under the blouse.
For the 10 year size, the dress will
require on yds. of material AZ, 4M yds.

The humorous comedy drama,
Joshua Simpkins," will be seen at the
Majestic Theater to morrow matinee

acts, bound together by an interesting
plot and produced with special seen
cry carried by the company. In the
third act a realistic sawmill scene is
introduced, when a real buzzsaw is
seen cutting through real log at
terrific speed upon which human
being has been helplessly bound by
his enemies and left to an evident
death. There Is an abundance of COM

fate has q mother who watches over
her and teaches her how to be modest
and discreet and gentle and tender, and
q father who instills grit and courage
and determination and the big imper-
sonal view of things into her She
has a mother who teaches her to speak
pink tea patter at parties and father
who discusses with her the effect of
regional banks on the currency system
and the Monroe doctrine in world poll
tics, so to speak.
Y When you find girl who has been
brought up exclusively by her mother,
and who had had no masculine influence
on her life, you are very apt to find
her narrow and prejudiced, full of petty
ways and convinced that the most i'm
portant thing on earth is to have
skirt four inches narrower than any
other girls or feather half a foot
taller or to be the limit of the ex-
aggeration of fashion, whatever 1t is.
Also she is almost always overcon
ventional and given to subsisting on
chocolate creams.
On the other hand. when you find
girl who has been raised by her father
without a mothers influence she's
pretty certain to be hoidenish and
sporty; to lack a certain delicate re-
finement that is the hallmark of
lady, and to so scorn the proprieties
that gossip is always busy with her
name. And she eats roast beef and
onions.
