that source.
The distinction is the we'll Merited re-

Woman's Part In Banking Affairs.

The women Of this country play a
more important part in it's banking af-
fairs than they perhaps realize. They
have a large interest in the bank capital
and figure as employees, shareholders, di-
rectors and officers.
James II. Eckels, comptroller Of the
currency, has compiled some interesting
figures showing in part the interest OF
women in banking. The statistics cover
both the national and state banks and
were obtained in response to circular let
ters of inquiry.
According to the showing, the num-
Der Of shares of national banks is Z, 099,
Alb, representing a total valuation of
$6SS, GAG, $40. OF these women own
1888, 772 shares Of a value Of $3.50, $751;
400. The percentage Of shares is "a. 4
and of capital 1879. The number OF in,
dividual women holders Of national
bank stock is 7O,697.
1t is rather curious to note that the
women apparently have greater conf,
dence in national than in state banks.
| The total shares and capital Of the lat
ter class of institutions are 3 ,61S, SO4 and
1907, 151, ZIG respectively. OF this mum
Der 4S1 ,O9S shares, representing $3S,
O74,712, stand in the names of women.
The percentages are respectively l3..
and l2.4, and the individual holders
number 90, LAG.
The women employees in the nationa,
banks of the country are 1888 and Of the
state banks 5S4 They receive a tota

edged belle of that city, n distinction
which she retained after she became the
wife of Joseph Thompson, the proprie-
tor of the Kimball House. Both as Miss
Nina Mimms and Mrs. Thompson she is
we'll known in social circles in this city
and is a particular favorite in the south
ern colony here.
In appearance she is tall and statu-
esuue. with beautiful brown hair and
eyes. Her personal beauty is enhanced
by the vivacity and grace which are
characteristic of southern women Like
all beautiful women, she is fond Of pref
ty gowns, and her costumes give practl-
cal evidence of taste, which she has the
means to CRAFTY, for she is a woman of
wealth. Although finely educated and
with advantages Of extensive travel,
Mrs. Thompson has never devoted her
self to any particular artistic or literary
pursuits. While evincing an interest in
everything, she preferred to enjoy the
pleasures which her social position offer
ed rather than to become wholly absorb
ed in any n thing.
The duties attached to the position
she fills are o%nerous, but she has dis
charged them faithfully and we'll Witt
the natural enthusiasm Of her nature
she has thrown her whole soul into thu
work. This interest is quickened by thu
spirit of pride which southern womel
have in regard to the success Of any prof
ect which is Of southern origin. Mrs

with the heads of the different depart
ments under her and knows, either from

Miss Willard's Romance.

The recent rumor regarding the en-
gagement of Miss Frances E. Willard,
president Of the National WOman's
Christian Temperance union, to an
elderly English gentleman Of means,
who uses a large part of his annual in
come in the furthering of reform V
ments, has recalled to the minds Of
many of Miss Wizards friends in this
country the romance Of her early wom-
anhoed.
Miss Wizards devotion to the tenn
perance cause is by no means coeval
with the great crusade Of the early sew
entities, whose outcome was the OrSani-
zation Of hundreds of women's Chris
tian temperance unions. Miss Willard
parents were among the pioneers OF the
great northwest and brought up their
daughter with very strict, not to say
narrow, views as to the use Of liquor
and tobacco. Miss Willard prepared her
self for teaching, and while pursuing
her studies met u young man who was
studying for the ministry and who gave
promise of attaining great prominence
in his chosen calling. Their common
love Of study attracted them to each
other, and the young man felt that in
Miss Willard he had found the one wo-
man who, as his wife. would help him
upward and would gracefully share the
honors Of the lofty position at which he
was aiming. Nor was Miss Willard's
heart untouched, and the young mans
matrimonial hopes might have been
realized but for her discovery that he
was addicted to the use of tobacco. She
very promptly told him he could choose
between tobacco and herself, and to al
his pleadings opposed the one cry:
If you love tobacco more than yor
do me, find some other woman who viii
tolerate such a habit
At length he ceased to urge her, ant
they went their separate ways, she t
remain single and become president O
