Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses and Reports of Mrs. Potter Palmer, President of the Board of Lady Managers, World's Columbian Commission
The full benefit of this intermingling will not be felt, however, unless we, each and all, are generously willing to leave for a time the narrow boundaries in which our individual lives are passed, and give our minds and hearts an airing by entering into the thoughts and aspirations Of others, and enjoying the alluring vistas Opened before us. In this fresh, breezy atmosphere, brightened by thewarm sunshine Of sympathy, we shall be surprised to find that many of our familiar, conventional truths look very queer in some Of the sudden side-lights thrown on them; that they are not half so dignified and respectable as we fancied them. Above all things else, harmonious action is necessary for Our success. That is the foundation which we must lay for the superstructure that is to be gradually erected, and which, we trust, will be the successful result Of our work together.
