Women as Bank Tellers.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.

The Maiden Lane Savings Bank of
New York city. whose president is Louis
Windmuller, has sent out circular say
ing that after an experience of five years
with women as tellers it feels justified
in pronouncing them a success. What
experience the institution had before
| launching into the experiment of super
seding men with women in these posi-
tons it does not disclose; but it says
that they are punctual. pleasant to Gus
toners and quick at detecting dis
crepancies in signatures of drafts. 1t
also intimates that they are. exceptionally
reliable, affirming that since they have
been in Office there has been no shortage
of cash intrusted to their care, and,
therefore, no need to call upon their
bondsmen.
This is one of many excellent accounts
OF the way in which the members of the
gentler sex acquit themselves of duties
that heretofore have been supposed to be-
long exclusively to men. There is really
no reason for keeping women out df any
light employment requiring as especial
qualifications alertness and, politeness. To
put the matter moderately, these are Ger
tainly as happily exempliiied by women
as by men,.

How q Frenchman Speaks"
rrespondence London Globe

Paris Correspondence London Globe.
Watch two men i'm restaurant. l,
they are English. they may be engaged
in conversation during the whole OF the
meal But It is quiet. well ordered
dialogue, nothing of which reaches those
at the next table. and the conversation is
not allowed to interfere with the business
in hand, which is eating. Suppose. how
ever that two Frenchmen are lunching
together Whichever of the two is dong
the talking soon lays down his knife and
fork. How can he explain to his vis-a-vis
what happened unless he has his hands
and arms free. unless he acts the story?
And he always acts it well. i confess l
a story. 1t is as good as play. II Is
better, for 1t is natural. He leaves out
nothing; you get the words, the expires
sion the movements of the person con
cerned, and il there are several persons,
the raconteur acts them all with equal
skill. When an Engiishman is asked TO
sing or recite before strangers, his first
impulse is to decline. His natural tim
idity, his Discrimination to show on, N
reluctance to play the actor" all tend
to make him keep his seat. But If a
Frenchman is requested to contribute
a musical or dramatic selection, or TO
make a speech, il Is rare to find him
refuse. Why should he? He has beef
taught from his childhood that to sing
and act and crate are as natural as TAX
ing his meals or drinking a glass ofwine.
and he has no diffidence to contend with
lie is a born actor.

Platonic Love is a device by means Of

old and Originally long ago perceived the
difficulty. and had an, image Of himself
made Of putty, calling 1t P1atonic Love.
Nobody, of course. is afraid OF putty, and
squeamish people quite readily took
Platonic Love to their bosoms.
But the end was not yet. When Love

ripe, he quietly insinuated himself into
the place of the putty image. and behold,
none knew the difference!
And so the world goes round as well for

Reform Needed.

We need, therefore, a reformed finan-

our administration came in, assigned to
the monetary commission the duty of
proposing the revision of our banking and
currency systems. but fancy We are not
to have any monetary report until after
the next election. 1t will have to be de-
layed, In recognition of the general
American belief and preference that the
proper thing to be provided in a con-
gressionai or legislative election Is the
elimination Of all. or as many as posi-

the monetary commission. before we can

Calls New York Provincial.

DIR. Woodrow Wilson, who followed
Secretary MacVeagh, took a friendly
though caustic fling at bankers who think
first of their institutions rather than of
the good of the country at large. He
said:
Il am led to believe that bankers do
not always consider the broad public in
terest. The city Of New York. for the
most part. does not understand the ma
ton. New York is provincial commu-
nifty; it's thought is centered on ITSELF 1

WHY NATION MUST WAIT

NEW YORK. January 1s.-Franklin

dressed seven hundred bankers and their
guests at the Waldorf-Astoria last night
at the annual banquet Of the bankers OF
the city OF New York, forming group
eight Of the New York State Bankers AZ
ISOLATION.
Banking, like charity he said. ''be-
gins at home, and unless q nation has
q sound, useful and wise national bank
ing system and facilities there is nothing
upon which to build largely and safely a
world system. Until we get rid OF pam
les which are wholly unnecessary and
readily avoidable, we cannot claim for a
moment to have a domestic financial sys-
tenn that the world can rely upon Or that
We ourselves can rely upon. Nor can We
indulge in national or International finan-
cial pretensions as long as we have no
banking reserve that is worthy Of the
name. BY reserve, mean. of course, a
reserve to meet adequately the special
exigencfes of the business world-a re-
serve that Is reserved for any and all
needs at any and all times

Bond Issues.

In closing the Secretary touched upon
government bonds. He said, among other
things:
we have outstanding about $730, OOO.-
600 of 2 per cent bonds, though per
cent interest was and is very much be-
low the measure of the governments
credit. They are practically all in the
national banks because they cannot be
anywhere else-having no investment
standing whatever. In issuing new bonds
hope they shall not be permitted to
pile themselves on top Of this stagnant
mass of 2 per cent bonds. The loss of
twenty-five or thirty million dollars al
ready sustained by our national banks
through these per cent bonds Is quite
|enough without action upon our part to
further depress their market prices. I
maintain that the government should see
to it that any new issue OF bonds may
have opportunity to go into the hands
Of real investors. And this can be done
believe, by issuing them under such
conditions of circulation privileges as
does not discriminate against the 2 per
cent bonds, and at rate of interest
which measures as accurately as possf-
BILE the credit of the government in the
investment market"
