They Liked to DO business with n Hand
some New President of the Bank.
The new president of an uptown
bank is tall, proportion man In
the bloom of life. His hair is interest
ingly gray while his graceful mustache
retains its pristine darkness. He is,
moreover, a acknowledgement man,
not only habitually wearing the best
clothes, but also exhibiting the finest
taste in his few articles of jewelry.
Since his advent i'm the bank it's former
prosperity has been even more en-
phatic, and now visit there of
a bright morning is as charming
an experience as attending a gar
den party would be. II is remarka-
ble' moreover, how generally neces-
sary IT IS for the ladies TO talk with the
president. The latter has a charming
office, not separated from public scru-
tiny, but divided from the general ear
by thick glass windows.
1t was on a recent warm morning that
a trim, sprightly young lady in thin,
pink dress tripped out of a victoria at
the door of the bank. and stole within
like sunbeam. she stood irresolutelv
in the center Of the marble floor for a
moment looking in many directions,
but principally toward the glass office
where the president could be seen talk
Ing with two women. Herapparent in
decision was observed by the man in
uniform who saunters about the bank
as janitor and detective, and this indi-
vidual asked what she required.

president"
'Ihe paying teller will cash a check
for you, responded the janitor. 1.-THE
president is engaged at present
yes said the young lady. 'Tll
wait You see | want 10 draw little
money"
She continued to gaze through the
glass of the presidents office, and the
janitor strolled away, not wishing to
interfere further. After a few mo-
ments the two ladies who were with
the president took their departure.
Immediately there was a rush from all
sides TO the door of the room, but the
girl in the pink dress was the first to get
there, and her lovely face had its effect
upon the president. AS he bowed the
two ladies out he bowed the pretty
newcomer in, and turned to her with
Il most winning smile. The weather
was commented on, the prospect Of a
warm summer was spoken of, and
the blushing girl raised the few roses
she carried in her hand to her face, and
finally informed the president that she
wished 20 draw fifty dollars, as she was
going shopping. lie continued to smile
winsome!y, and assisted her to pen and
ink and a blank check, saying that the
paying teller would be very glad to
hand her the money. He was a bank
president and his time was valuable,
b but he noted the beautiful curve of the
girls cheek aud throat, and was willing
20 speak of the freshness Of her roses.
This lei b. pretty chat about flowers,
and when ut last the young lady took
her leave there was an accidental rose
bud lying upon the handsome presi-
dents dc K. And an old clerk, who had
been poria" over books ever since he
was iad. pc"rcd over his spectacles at
