THE STOCKING BANK.


The stocking bank for the least ceased
to be a joke. The voice of authority, the person Of
Municipal Judge Gull of cleveland has spoken of in
terms of serious decision and the against
It seems that Mrs. Jennie Haddad and Mrs Emily
Cloden went together for a good time to resort
breezy hilltop called Luna Park Mrs Haddad had 1913
which she did not Immediately need this occasion
Clode had $50 and not having proper receptacle
she asked her friend to keep for her Mrs
dad added to her own hoard in her silk stocking The
strain carrying through the various labrynths up
down the chutes over the course of the scenic river
in and the other Amusement features" OF the park
was apparently too much for the silk stocking It
cracked the strain Or perhaps it was merely that
its fibre grew lax allowing the money to escape
Mrs Haddad couldn't possibly imagine how it happen
ed for, she told the Judge had always the
habit of carrying money her stocking and had
lost any before"
This time, however, all the money disappeared.
Mrs. Cloden needed her $50 and promptly sued Mrs.
Haddad for it. The came up before Judge Gull who
ruled that it was gross negligence for woman to carry
large of money in her stocking
It is time THAT a position make his word
carry the matter seriously time that at least
one woman careless enough to do this sort thing should
be held up example to equally careless
The stocking bank with all that it implies has been
joke TOO long
Women constantly rdiculed by men for Just such
idioces as carrying money their hosiery So long
they do this kind thing, so long they hold themselves
open the charge not sense enough to
be with the ballot equal authority with their
husbands over their own children with equal in
the custody and spending of the family funds
And every woman who foolish enough to lay herself
open to this charge reserves it,
the first place there is no excuse whatever for
woman-or man-to carry much cash. The only per
in the civilized world just who has al excus,
for carrying cash large sums is a bank messenger.
The other day in New York a woman was taken i'll OF
the and cared for by the police She had twelve
thousand dollars in cash upon her person and $4,000
worth of jewels There may have been an excuse for thu
woman who took $50 to Luna Park, though there wa
her disposng of properly her per
but for the thousand dollars there could hav
been whatever In a day of checkbooks charg
accounts. travellers cheques letters of credit caryin
cash merely tempting fate with its loss and d.
playing it is tempting ones fellow men.
more serious aspect is the antisocsl tendency dis
played by person who secretes money in her home
on her person instead of putting in a bank where
may serve the community as well herself
The talent in the parable, was a of none,
though moderns usually take the word in its hguratiy
sense a gift the mind spirit either case tn

If women want TO get and to hold fast a position
equality with men, mentally, politically. every way
