into unemployment in six important

"The career woman distinctly

mands in the field of housing and build

realtors.
Not only must the building manage
ment field direct and govern our large
apartment houses to meet the changing
conditions of her social and economic
needs, but builders must plan to meet
the same requirements.
The career woman demands all the
freedom from housekeeping obligations
that men require, but still wishes to re-
tain facilities for small-scale house
keeping not only as a measure of econ
omy but as form of relaxation. Thus,
in addition to a central location. near
her Office or shop, she wants maid serV-
ice. valet service and restaurant service.
But she also wishes to be able to dis
pense with these or supplement them
with her own efforts on occasion.
More than man. woman feels at
times the spiritual need of detachment
or semi-isolation-she wants to be self
sustaining within her home. She wants
more than mere hotel life, while still
having hotel conveniences available on
