splendid stones which send out their
myriad rays of scintillating light
White topaz or carbonated diamonds
have come to be recognized as the near
est thing on earth to a genuine dia-
mond so near indeed is it that the pro-
prietOrs of the Diamond Palace do not
hesitate to place real diamonds in the
window with the specimens of the to-
paz and allow the public to pick them
out at one dollar each the latter stones
have all the lovely brilliancy of the dia-
monds. sparkling steadily and with
wonderful fire, the thousands of these
stones in the windows forming one of
the most gorgeous displays and has
proved an attraction which is one OF
the features of Chicago.
The Diamond Palace has many imi-
tators who endeavor to sell cheap rhine
stones and other pastes claiming they
are the topaz. We caution the public
to be careful as the Diamond Palace,
No. 235 State street, Chicago, are the
sole importers Of the White Topaz. See

with corporations and private lnulVluu-
ais whose operations are extensive. In
addition to performing the duties OF
bank president, Mrs. Marsh is the head
of a typewrting machine company, ana
treasurer and director of carriage
company. She finds time to do all thls
and have that leisure which is neces-
sary to a woman who enjoys the ad-
vantages of society. The husband OF
Mrs. Marsh was a capitalist and one OF
the business pillars of Groton. When
he died, a year and a half ago, peo-
pie wondered how the large interests
of his estate would be handled. Mrs.
Marsh quickly solved the problem by
assuming the discharge of the duties
which had devolved upon her late
husband. The business men of Groton,
while they deeply respected Mrs.
Marsh, were a little inclined to doubt
her ability to successfully carry on the
role she had undertaken. The lady
said nothing one way or the other, but
in very short time demonstrated to
the entire satisfaction Of the business
community that she was fully capable
of handling the business of the bank,
the typewriting company and the car
riage mandatory. Mrs. Marsh is to
be found at her Office in the bank every
day in the secular week and keeps
as sharp an eye upon the business of
the institution as the keenest man who
could be placed in that position. She
meets the customers of the bank and
talks over the financial situation with
them. The applicant for loan is d.
rected to her, and finds that he not
only has kindly listener, but one who
never loses sight of the interests of the
bank for moment. Just as often as
occasion demands, crisp new bills are
secured from the treasurer bearing the
banks name. When these bills come
by express from the treasury depart
ment at Washington, they lack the
signature of the president and cashier
Of the bank for which they are intend
ed. Until these signatures are placed |

on them, the new notes are of no use.
One signature will not do. That is
why Mrs. Marsh's signature makes
money. She signs the bills in a clear,
strong hand, and the chances are that
few persons who see the notes of the
Groton bank with "W. NJ. Marsh, pres
ident," inscribed thereon, imagine that
the name is that of woman. The du-
ties devolving on Mrs. Marsh, in ad-
dition to the banking business, through
her other interests, require close atten-
ton. 1t is necessary that the affairs of
the typewriting machine company be
watched with as good financial judg-
ment as those of the bank. OF course
the details of the transaction are at
tended to by other persons, but it is
Mrs. Marsh's brain that governs the
organizations finances. Not an ac-
ton of any moment is taken without
her advice and approval. The third of
the principal interests of which she
keeps watch and ward is the carriage
company. The ramifications of this
business are widely divergent from
those Of the first two but Mrs. Marsh's
versatile genius grasps them without
difficulty. AS treasurer, it is her duty
to sign the checks. know where the
different sums are going and what they
are expended for. Mrs. Marsh also
keeps an eye on the general finances Of
the concern and watches the credits as
as she does those of the type
writer company.
