These things I have been talking about constitute, it seems to me, a real<br />
foundation for true and noble accomplishments, and all that a girl can<br />
learn over and above these is that much to her praise and credit.<br />
She should know how to entertain guests. According to her place in life, she<br />
should be able to be hostess to her friends and those who come within her<br />
gates, and do it with ease and grace.<br />
Although girls of today are entering open doors of opportunity everywhere,<br />
becoming teachers, businesswomen, and social leaders — yet most of them<br />
will after all, in time become homemakers and mothers. And since this is<br />
the life work of the many, ought not they all to be accomplished in those<br />
things they will need the most? Since practically all girls have a home to<br />
learn these things in, ought they not to take advantage of their<br />
opportunities? The world will call the woman accomplished, who can take<br />
her place in the social life and work of the world — but let us not forget<br />
these homey accomplishments, which are the real foundations of woman's<br />
work and place in life.<br />
