In Suburban Life, The Countryside;
Magazine for September, is an article
about Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robert-
son Hale, homemaker and suffragist,
and her unique country house. Mrs..
Hale maintains that the whole woman
movement is helped by the progressive
humanitarian spirit of the age. ‘‘For,”
she says, “those who believe in the
humanities must also, of course, be
lieve in woman; and the modern tend
ency to rate progress in terms of the
welfare and happiness of the people,
rather than in terms of conquest, is
of enormous benefit to us, since wo
men could never be active citizens in
a state whose chief object was ag
gressive warfare.”
This sweet and broad-minded policy
is more or less at variance with the-
outsider’s view.
