Tangled Bank Accounts.

"It Is remarkable" said an~old bank

bank accounts absolutely correct. At
ordinary times this falling Is not con-
spicuous. because books are usually
balanced when there is still a credit
to the depositor's account When he
balanced book is received with the
vouchers the usual discrepancy is
found after much ltOor in an omitted
entry, either deposit or check or in the
form OF an error In addition OF sub
traction. The thing is usually settled
at home without our help. But when

not one woman in ten-and l am char
liable with the figure-keeps her book
correctly, and many women keep no
record ut all. Ne have depositor
who used to receive an oyedraft no
tice regularly every month. Now, by
an arrangement with her. we give her
notice when the balance nears the 500
mark. Men laugh at the women foi

keeper does the work for them the
men are nearly as bad."-New York
