The Woman’s New Year

THE recent years have brought to women a sane knowledge of health conditions and of pure food requirements. They have brought the great prize of an awakened feminine conscience and a sense of responsibility which has resulted in better school conditions and in mothers’ clubs and societies which have to do with the welfare of the young. And, us it is fitting that all New Year’s meditation shall have to do somewhat with resolutions, jt would seem that the modem woman’s outlook should Include the determination to seek new paths of effectiveness and achievement. And since her allegiance is to her husband, her children, her home, her friends, her work, to the world, she should resolve that the new year shall bring the broader viewpoint, the wider sympathy, the receptive mind, which shall make her respond to the needs of those whom she loves and shall make her a gracious and useful member of society. For myself I am glad that hope and health and friends have come to me in my New Year’s ships, but I go beyond this to be grateful for the wonderful treasures of idealism and opportunity which the New Year’s ships are bringing to you and to me and to all the privileged and fortunate women of this wonderful land of ours.— Temple Bailey In Philadelphia Press.
