PEDESTALED WOMAN

This is Woman's age and no mis-
take! All over the land politicians lit
tie and big are tumbling over themsel
YES in profuse proffers of services t.
my lady,.
More than ever the male makers o.
the Fashions are racking their almost
brainless noodles to invent some new
absurdity in apparel in hopes to win
the applause of her facile ducats.
And so it goes, in business, in church
in society, in everything, that hatefu
old masculine libel that pretended te
look for woman at the bottom of all
evil, ''cherchez la femme, has
yielded to worshipful mani to
ascribe all good to Woman, and this,
tho it goes somewhat to the other ex.
treme, is much nearer the truth.
Then read how our two banks are
courting Woman, but recently inducted
into her full political rights. The Della
ware Trust Company pays her this fine
compliment:
ITO WOMEN''
"This bank appreciates especially its
women patrons. Women are welcome
here. The modern era recognizes the
oman as an individual. Modern law
secures her individual rights. A busi-
ness woman needs the element of
strength that bank alone can give.
The Peoples National Bank mingles
financial advice and sentiment in this
pleasing fashion:
"GIRLS SHOULD HAVE SAVING
ACCOUNTS"
Every young girl INDUCES the
praiseworthy ambition to be, some day,
the mistress of home all her own.
A no less worthy ambition would be to
have her own bank account, if but a
modest one. And of all the nice things
that 60 into her ''hope chest", what
so fine as Savings Account laid up in
the THE PEOPLES NATIONAL
BANK throu gh her own self-denial in
her youth?

monial Prizes''.
