slstant secretary at the Columbia Trust
Where once she was a large depostor
AS rich young woman on Long Island
she deighted in riding at the high
est gates, and being the first to try any
new form Of motor car or boat or plane
that came along. Finding it advisable to
work later on, she took a sporting chance
at banking, and at first she had tough
time with balky women clients who OBJ
jected to the innovations Now they come
to her in droves in her office at the Column
bia Trust on Fifth avenue, and tell her all
their financial difficulties.
Miss Jean A. Reid head of the women's
department at the Bankers Trust Com
pany, is chairman of the Information Ser
vice Committee She went into banking
from art, via war work. She was por-
trait painter and a highly successful one,
when the war came, and people stopped
wanting their portraits limned and any
way, she couldn't be contented handling
the brush when the boys OH the other side
needed help All through the worst of 1t
she worked among them, and when she
came back she found she hungered to be
among people still, and she believed that
business would give her more human ma
ture than art would. so she got banking
job, going right into the cage as clerk.
Miss Furman thinks the close contact of
women with men when they work in the
cages is regrettable, but Miss Reid doesn't
think So She says she just loved rub
bing elbows with the young fellows, the
clerks, and hearing their grouches.
"My job over in France was hearing the
boys grouches, and I was glad to have 1t
to do here" she says
The Chosen Few Are Fitted.
Miss Nina Bruere, who has the women's
department at the Central Union Trust
Company, had long experience as Frank
A. Vanderip's private secretary when he
was president of the National City Bank
She says that the elder James Stllman
used to tell her that the woman bank
vice-presiient was on the way, though
she hadn't then materiallzed. She hasn't
even yet arrived in New York; assistant
secretary is the highest title any bank
here gives woman; but she has arrived
in the West. The Farmers State Bank
at Pinebluff, Wyoming, for instance, has
woman vice-president, Mrs John Wilkin-
son by name. And the Woman's Bank in
Gainesville, Tennessee, has, as you may
suppose, a woman president Mrs. F. ].
Runyon.
Mighty hard work some Of these West
ern women have done to win the places
they now hold in banking work. 1--WE are

for useful purposes. To those of us who
are willing to work and show ability the
Western men are very liberal in their
attitude, but we must make good" Miss

TyHE question whether eagles ever at
tack human beings I should not
- offhand answer either negatively or
affirmauvely. l can, however, Vouch for
the truthfulness Of the following incident
on that point:
The two year old white headed boy OF
q forest ranger at Beaudette in northern
Minnesota was playing in the potato patch
near the house when an eagle appeared
and tapped his big wings so close to the
child that the screams of the frightened
little fellow attracted the mother, who was
busy in the house.
She ran out, but being without even
stick in her hands, she could do little but
add her screams to those of the boy. The
eagle then alighted on the fence, but when
the mother threw clods and stones at him
he arose and flew away

Just learning to catch his own food From
some place up in the sky his keen eyes
had caught sight of the white headed boy
moving about as a conspicuous object on
the green background OF the potato patch.
Young birds and animals, just like boys.

would never attempt. An adult eagle, who
had learned the fear of man, would never
have come near the ground close to
human habitation on the outskirts Of a
town.

to carry off fox he had caught, and had
in these attempts completely ruined the

are common the bald eagle frequently robs

of our northern lakes that are well stocked

Paths of Their Entrance.

On this women's reception committee
and its various subcommittee are the
wives, daughters and sisters of leading
New York banking men, and also the
women bank officers, of whom there are
each year more and more in our banks.
These women officers are a significant de-
velopment in one of the most conservative
of professions. In fact, banking isn't as
yet at all standardized profession for
women, and the facts about those who are
in 1t have to be picked up here and there.
And the paths by which they come into it
are various. They don't always have to
climb up the ladder from the bottom, rung
by rung. Sometimes they just step right
into it over the social path. and find their
social gifts, the art of meeting people and
all that, tremendous asset. OF course,
they must have energy and a mind capable
of mastering banking details
Mrs William Laimbeer, assistant secre-
tary at the United States Mortgage &
Trust Company who is serving on the In
formation Service Committee for the con-
vention, is a good example of a modern
tendency. A good many people remember

head off in the hotel all day because she
didn't know a soul in the city, and nobody
paid any attention to her, and she had her

State travel across the continent to see
their town and then behaved as if they
didn't know she was on the map.
Well, Banker Smith was but human, and
dynasties have been upset for not unsimi-
lar reasons. In short, feminine opinion
made that convention frost. And hav-
ing had eighteen years to think it over,
the financiers of New York now turn to
the women and say:
Help us out, for the credit of our city.
Don't let our visitors go home with the
wrong idea that New York is cold and
Indifferent. You hold this convention in
the hollow of your hand. Fix up a pro-
gram that will help every one of the 1000
women visitors to see New York as it
really is. Go the limit, and we'll stand

The committee, Of which Mrs. Dwight
W. Morrow is chairman, is the answer to
this appeal. and when Mrs. Banker Smith
arrives here she won't have leisure
or solitude for yawnlng her head
