WOMEN IN WALL STREET.
They Are Good Winners, but Drown
Their Losses In Tears.


Their Losses In Tears.
To many brokers women are hoo
docs, and some stock exchange houses
refuse absolutely to have anything to
do with the fair sex. The majority of
brokerage firms try their best to keep
women's speculative accounts out OF
their offices. Some houses are obliged
TO take women's accounts as a matter
of personal friendship. hut they will
not open accounts for other won en-, no
matter how well they may be intro
duced.
Wall street men do not have high
opinion Of the average woman's busl.
ness sense Most women have an idea
that one needs only to get a ZIP"
from some "lnsider" In Wall street TO
be sure of making barrels Of money
for new gowns. hats and jewelry.
The dlctum of wall street is that
women are good winners, but ba6
losers. II Is difficult to reason about
money and business with an angry or
weeping woman. Her view OF Wall
street and all It's works suddenly be-
comes entirely emotional. and only a
broker with infinite patience can calm
her. Many n time n stock exchange
house has taken n woman customers
loss rather than face her tears.-Strand
