After Dinner Trick S
No. s2s-A Joke With a Coin

Turn a tumbler upside down and
place a penny on top Of it. Cover the
coin and glass with a hat and ask some
one if the coin is still on top. Raise
the hat and show that the coin is still
there. Repeat the procedure and ask
the "wisest" spectator if he believes
the coin is still on top. When he says
Yes" reply, well, l fooled you this
time"
The hat is lifted and the coin is seen
still on the tumbler. The spectator
will then become elated and win say,
''Well, / told you the coin was still on
top" But the joke is on the spectator,
for you calmly point out that the coin
Is not on the top, but on the bot
tom, as the tumbler has been upside

Now, smoking and powdering ones ose

Who Started Old Wheeze
That Women Couldn't Add Figures?

II is difficult to explain just why the
tion persisted that woman had no head for
figures The cartoonists and humorists are
partly to blame. Take away the old adage
that a woman can't add up a column of
figures correctly and you rob the profess
sional funmakers of one of their favorite
jokes How often-in the funny papers
you see wife puzzling over her check book
until finally the husband comes to the
rescue and smooths out the wrinkles with
few quick strokes of the pen. Yet in real
life--we are violating no confidence in ad-
mitting-there is an occasional husband
who looks to his spouse to keep things ac-

Then there was an old superstition that
women didn't trust women in banks. 1t was
said. on what passed for high authority. that
with n woman teller women patrons of the
hanks stopped and counted their money be-
fore leaving the window. but that with man
handing out the bills women would take il
for granted that the sum was correct and
stuff 1t in their pocketbooks without so
much as giving IL a glance. Just how
high an authority was responsible for
this observation may be judged by the cur
rent popularity of feminine heads for the
women's departments.

certain restricting clauses in wills have

DOZEN years ago there may have
been few banks in the country


~ been few banks in the country
with women on the official roster
as executives But these banks didn't boast
of their feminine officials. They felt. on
the whole, that it was just as well not to
give any undue publicity to the fact that
they didn't have enough men to fill up the
regular positions. There was rather
unwritten law about the thing that finance
a mans game.
To-day you might have to hunt out some
remote spot to find backsliding bank that
hasn't woman in some important position
on the board of directors. Not only have
women entered finance, they have stam-
peded it. From bank messenger to bank
president, there isn't position in the finan-
cal field that isn't being held by woman.
There are even banks--at least three of them
run exclusively by women without even
masculine watchman guarding the vaults
Last June thirty women representing finap-
cial institutions from only eight States met
in Cleveland for what proved TO be the
first attempt at national gathering of bank
ing women. In October of 1920 the Ame-i-
Bankers Association was addressed by
a woman for the first time at its annual
convention in Washington. Two years be-
fore that woman banker addressed the
New Jersey association.
In breaking in on the financial world the
women had to overcome the prejudice and
bias of years of ostracism. Finance has been
practically the last profession to let down
the bars and admit women on something
that approached equal terms. For generations
the standpatters have held firmly to the
belief that though women might succeed at
medicine. at law and in business they were
out of their realm when it came to discuss
ing financial matters. Probably if it hadn't

An Army of Women Clerks
Now Employed by the Banks

When England went into it she had less
than 10000 women serving in minor capaci-
ties in the banks. Two years ago this figure
had jumped to $4,000. With our own
trance into the war it was estimated that an
army of 10000 women invaded the Wall
Street banks. If anything, this estimate
was conservative The Federal Reserve
Bank of New York had 450 women, the
Guaranty Trust Company had almost
many and the Bankers Trust Company $50.
At first this was treated just freak of
the war; to be accepted goodnaturedly along
with the women street car conductors and
the farmerettes. No one thought for mo-
ment that it was possible for the women to
hold down successfully the jobs that had
been held by men. No bank clerk visioned
the day when he would have to report to
feminine boss. No board of directors con-
sidered seriously the prospect of having any
petticoats In the board meeting room.
But the woman bank official came in
metropolitan circles almost before the bank
ers had accustomed Themselves to seeing
women around the place. The woman bank
Official came not for the war or Just to
bridge over a temporary emergency She
came to stay.
After serving only six months with the
United States Mortgage and Trust Comnany
Mrs Nathalie Schenck Laimbeer a prom
inent society woman, was made an assistant
secretary of the company. This placed Mrs
T.aimbeer at the head of the women's de-
rartments of the various branches of the
bank, making her duties the same as those

the first woman ever invited to address the
American Bankers Association
In speaking the women's department

vention on October 20, 1920, Mrs. Laimbeer
said:
while the war stimulated the earning
capacities of women 1t had on the other
hand the effect of depriving many OF the

has pretty fair idea of the difference be-
tween twenty-five cents and half dollar.
AS we may have limited, there were one
or two hazards of prejudice and superstition
that the women had to hurdle before they
could step into the professional banking
business and have the world in general take
any notice of their arrival Except for the
stenographers and telephone operators,
women went into the bank only to cash their
husbands checks. Then came the war an6
