Woman's
Article In
Magazine

Interesting excerpts are taken
from an address entitled Vision 4

Brien, first vice-president, state
federation Of Business and Profess
sional Women's clubs. at the district
conference held in Sweetwater in
February and which appeared in the
July number of The Texas Woman.
a magazine for business and pro-
feSsional women:
"Vision-the faculty OF seeing
ahead: Purpose-the act OF putting
things over.
Vision and purpose are two in
which always accompany the woman
who makes good-and the woman
who remains to the good.
Seeing Ahead.
"One OF the proverbs reads:
Where there is no vision the peo-
pie perish" and to that might well
be added: Where there is no pur-
pose the people need no vision
Study the successful man or
woman and you will find they have
a natural tendency and q highly
developed sense OF seeing ahead. The
failures are those who are blind as
q bat in the very daylight OF some
great opportunity.
"'*''There have been so many
worthwhile accomp lShments by the
Business and Professional Women's
clubs that it would indeed be a hard
matter TO decide on the PM thing
which has done the most good for
our members. To my mind the out
standing thing is the fellowship end
friendship it has created among us.
The federation has tried and
succeeded to some extent TO educate

Many people expect women 20

OF fact. we are working 10 earn a

expect to contribute a high degree
Of idealism In business. but we do
not expect TO bear the burden a.

women is absolutely necessary 10
