BABIES OR BUSINESS

Must women choose between a business career
and babies?
Does the woman who enters industry and
nerce close the doors to that happiness which lies
the grooming CT songs at twilight TO the doing
babe against her breast. and forever abandon the
hope of finding the completeness in life through
motherhood?
Should you leave the answer to Mrs Alice Foot
Dougau a mother and a business woman.
successful one that the head Of great importing
enterprise. the two realms incompatible.
Il have learned by my own experience" said Mrs.
Mac Dougall. that motherhood and business do not
mix. They are like two jealous women neither of
whom will tolerate a rival The characteristics Of
the mother the successful business woman are
opposite the poles. They can not exist at the
same time in one personality.
THE mother must be all softness and sympathy.
She must be prepared to give generously of herself
TO her children. She subordinate herself to
them. In children she finds her truest ex-
preston The business woman, on the other hand
to be successful. must be hard adamant. She
stifle her impulses of generosity. In these days
of keen competition she must apply to every action
only one test: will it pay me- How could the
children of such mother thrive? They would be
be starved Of the elements indispensable to the
healthy and normal child.
NO, business Is for the man. There are pro-
found psychological differences between the sexes
a may be a business man and, incidentally
father. Motherhood on the contrary is not an
incident"
There are those who will take sharp issue with
this business who suggests that for women
there be a clear-cut choice between a separate
business career and the joys of home-making.
The modern view OF business is not that of
fare but of better service even of sacrifice.
The modern view of motherhood is that the most
successful mother is she who can give only the
and assistance. but the companionshr Of
mind. the breadth Of vision. the knowledge of life
that comes from contact with the sources OF
knowledge.
The countless examples of widowed mothers who
not only self supporting but who have given to
the world worthy sons and daughters gives the lie
suggestion that any business can crush from the
mother heart those impulses of kindness and unset
fishness which make motherhood the miracle which
st is.
That brutalities of business. if there be any can
blot affection and the power Of affection from
is unthinkable
That the mother who has learned the greatest
lesson OF life I'm her giving may not be successful in
business is also unbelievable for the most successful
businesses Of today those into which the spirit
which has made motherhood so sacred a thing
Termeates TO the largest degree
The rush of women into business does not mean an
end Of babies. Nor does the advent Of babies mean
end TO the woman in business.
