Her Record

By Edward Bok

A WOMAN who is known for the excellence of her home in every department, whose placid relations with her servants and their service with her for fifteen and twenty years are the amazement of her neighbors, whose husband is devoted to his home and family, and each of whose three sons is a successful man, was recently asked by a friend, “Why is it that you are not in any way identified with outside interests?”
“Well, you see,” quietly answered the woman, “I haven’t had time: I have been so busy at home! I know I haven’t much to show for it—except what you see and my three sons.” And there was a quiet twinkle in her eyes as she spoke that left very little more to be said on the subject. As a matter of fact, there is never much to say to a woman who, by her works, realizes that the home can be made and is as much the world as the office or the forum, and who translates that realization into results.—Edward Bok.
