What are the boundaries of a
woman's life?
Well, according to Harriette
Gum Robertson, personality builder,
a woman's interests are apt to be
bounded on the north by the neigh
bors, on the south by clothes. on
the west by shifting goals, and on
the east by getting married
These, boundaries, Mrs. Robertson
believes, are decidedly o limited.
Woman's sphere should be en-
larged.
"To extend these limits. women
need only realize their opportunities
for development" explains the per-
sonality builder. "Women. as a rule
lack vision. They are afraid to blaze
trails.
"'The greatest woman of this age
is Helen Keller, because she has
achieved the most in the face of the
greatest difficulties. She is the rea
self-made m She has proved
her ability to match the urge in hel
heart, just as every person can do.
"Often a persons greatest power
comes along the line of the creates
handicap"
