some respects more careful in the'r
business methods than the men. A
few days ago the discovery was made
that the account OF one of the women
depositors had been overdravn a few
dollars. The usual notification In such
cases was sent to the deposition. with
the request that the account be made

received from the delinquent. She

tn. bank officers for informing her OF
the fact so courtcously-and incloscd
