"I cannot work at home"-- one hears the cry often enough.

It is not always because of this atmosphere of helter-skelter activity.

It is often because of something worse,--an atmosphere of slothful, pleasure-loving indifference to activities of all kinds, or one of tacit or expressed discontent with the burdens and the limitations which are an inescapable part of the Business of Being a Woman.
The problems connected with a girl's desire to be of social service are even more difficult.

There is a curious blindness or indifference in our town and country districts to social needs.

There is still alive the notion that sending flowers and jellies to the hospital, distributing old clothes wisely, and packing generous Christmas baskets meet all obligations.
