Women Replacing Men in Banks.

There is at present no woman officer
OF New York city bank. and only
one in New Jersey, but IL the war lasts
long enough It may be, as 1t is In Can
ada now, that the banks will virtually
be run by women, according to an ar
tlcle in the New York Evening Post.
Already, it is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States entered
the war, last April.
1t will not be n decidedly new field
for women to become officers Of banks,
for perhaps the majority of bank presi-
dents in New York have women secre-
taries and assistants who thoroughly
understand the workings of banks ard
the duties Of those In high places.
