Girl a Member Of a Stock EXCHANGE.

From the Memphis News-Scimitar.
MISS Leah Klein, aged Is. who cast a
vote in the Merchants exchange election
This week. is perhaps the only woman
member OF an exchange In the United
states. II not in the world. She represents
a chicago grain company. She goes on
change and buys and sells with as much
ease and composure as the Oldest veterans.
ana her ventures are generally successful.
MISS Klein came into prominence with
the exchange recently. A grain company
called its manager to Chicago some time
ago and left Miss Klein temporarily in
charge. Another manager was to have
been sent to take the place of the former
one, but so well did Miss Klein perform
her duties that the company has failed to
send another man, and she is now the
general manager.
The members OF the exchange became
aware or the fact that Miss Klein would
cast a vote for her company and prepared
for It. AS soon as she haa voted and was
ready to leave the hall a com
posed of ii. b. Sculss and T. b. Andrews
escorted Miss Klein to tie stand. and
President Harry p. Johnson presented her
with a diamond ring.

toad of small size which had, he said.

faid to be quite closed through disuse,
SO that it could not now feed if it

Quite recently, also, another small

 According to the old-fashioned code. man used to make the advances" says a writer in The New York Sun. "Once upon a time young women who asked favors of and arranged meetings with young men even in public, would have been considered almost without the pale of good society Ill those days even ambitious mothers baked at making things too easy for men of their ac- quaintance. Something was left for the man to accomplish. But the mod ern social code Is quite different in spite of all that may be said to the contrary. Well-appearing young men, to say nothing of the really eliigble, are loaded with invitations from one weeks end to the other in the winter invitations which entail only escort duty and making themselves agreeable. They are asked to go to the theatre. and the tickets. of course, are provided by the hostess. and to this place and mean to large companies only. but all most enfamille. It Is not often now that young man is obliged in order to see more of girl he fancies to ask her and her mother to be his guests anywhere. And I a msorry to observe that men do very little of such plan ming nowadays, not because they are v to count his dollars carefully-but simply because he doesn't get chance to and doesn't have to.
 "As a result the young men and wo- men of the present day behave toward each other more like good comrades of the same sex or like brother and sis- ter between whom sentiment was to be forever tabooed. Never before were young people allowed to see so much of each other. to associate so uncer- emcnously, even in the best society.
 That reminds me-" the elderly wo- man broke In. that when I heard that my niece had made up her mind to at- tend a co-educational college I was quite alarmed I was, and am still. strongly opposed to such colleges, be- lieving that propinquity is strong emissary of cupid. and believing also that young people are the better for not having romantic entanglements un- til they leave school. ."
