of the path he has followed to the

Conference of the Entente, in Feb

Donald, with whom LitYinoff's dip

him in contact, at that time would
not even permit him to read the
declaration Of the G. G. Of. the Boil

democracy to silence the representa-

them nothing.

Joyce dropped her eyes suddenly.

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carter were
devoted to Neil, but their aversion
to Frills was only thinly yelled.
When she was ready to go, Joyce
sat at her dressing table and staree
dreamily at herself, wondering
what Robert would think of hel
now.
'Youre looking stunning to,

home, How was she during the

"A little less than usual, | think.
1t seemed to exhaust her. Neil,
she's worrying about you. She
thinks something is. -"
They were both silent. Joyce did
not dare ask what it was that was
troubling him bcause she felt 50
sure she knew.
Joyce lay awake a long time
that night seeing the situation with
an appalling clearness, from every
point of view. II was ready enough
to condemn Frills for treating Neil
the way she did. I was disguised at
her for having an affair with Matt
land. And now, just because
Robert Ainsworth seems to me to
be worth a million Arthur Matt
lands, it doesn't make any real diff
ference. If l deceive Neil that wav.
I'm hurting him, too, and Pm no
better than Frills was. And .
and -. Oh, l feel like a miserable
worm to be taking all this luxury

he didn't love me 20 much. And he
was so happy for a while. 1t was
almost pitiful how grateful he was
for so little. Oh, l can't bear to. . .
to think of it even.' Joyce buried
her face in the pillow and tried
to stile the sobs which shook her.
At breakfast the mex morning
Neil glanced at her and said, frown-
ing anxously, Didn't you sleep,
Frills? You look kind of pale and
dragged Out this morning, dear"
Joyce's nerve were on edge aft
er her stormy night and Neil's con-
cerned tone struck her almost like a
blow. To her horror she felt her
eyes fill with a quick rush of tears.

- these days'-
4 The most modern. up-to-the-minute
building occupied by any bank in the
country is the home of the oldest savings bank
in the United States.
Old-fashioned in that it dates back to the
early days Of the republic. and that it has Glung
to conservative old banking practices in a way
that has brought it through the depression in
6rst-rate fashion. this bank-the Philadelphia
Saving Fund Society-is housed in a dazzling
tower of glass and metal which rises with star
Ting vividness above the more prosaic buildings
surrounding it in downtown Philadelphia.
The fact that it is situated in Philadelphia
perhaps makes it all the more remarkable For
Philadelphia. blessed with some of the finest
colonial architecture on the continent century
ago. went in fer unromantic and unimaginative
Formally in its architecture a couple Of genera
tons ago. and many of its streets display
sameness that every visitor remarks on.
And in the midst of all of this rises the mar
row spear Of glass. tall and lean and strikingly
devoid of ornament. which houses the ancien,
and conservative Saving Fund Society.
The building is ultra-modern. 1t rises for
80 stories without relief, boasts on its roof an
enormous 27-foot neon-tube sign. maintains
May temperature within its rooms all the year
around and yet never opens window. and is
equipped with the highest watch-tower in the
city. According to its designers. George Howe
and William Lescaze. the building expresses
in its form the economy and security which
bank depositors prize above everything else.
THE history Of the bank which has chosen
L to house itself in this modernistic style goes
back to 1916.
At that time the young republic had no saw
ings banks. but England and Scotland had al
ready seen the wisdom of encouraging the peo-
pie to save. Benjamin Franklin had laid the
seeds Of thrift and industry by writing and ag
tating about the virtues of spending less than
you earned Everyone remembers his "A penny
saved is penny earned"
Nothing concrete was done about savings
banks until one day in the fall Of 1916 when
young Philadelphia political economist Of
French descent. one Condy Racquet by name,
met his good friends. Richard Peters, Jr..
former United States district attorney; Clement
{. Biddle. another economist. and Thomas
Hale. an energetic young business man.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1933-05-30

Now Racquet had studied the English system
of banks; he had also written AN Inquiry Into
the Causes of the Present State of the Circu-
latng Medium in the United States. treatise
which had brought him more than local fame.
When Racquet met his three friends on
Chestnut street in the budding financial district.
he explained to them what scheme he had in
mind. The four men all agreed on the wisdom
of the British system and on November 20.
1916 they called few other men to meet
with them in the law Offices of George Bill.

BURLINGTON was appointed secretary and

Association and for his services and the use Of

annum. Andrew Bayard. civic leader. was
elected first president.
On December 2 the very FIRST depositor ar.

The bank was open on Mondays and Thurs
days from 9 to | in the mornings. but Mr.
Roberts, who later became waiter. came onl,
on very few of those days. By 1919. his
deposits, together with interest. aggregated
only $1l.
In 1919 the Philadelphia Saving Fund So
ciety became incorporated under the Legisla
ture of Pennsylvania as a non-pro6t-making
mutual savings institution. Thus it has remained
to this day. The board of Is managers have
never received any emolument for their services
from that day to this.
At first the society intended to divide the
surplus every three years. but this was soon
changed and the surplus is now carried over
from year to year. Today there i. surplus Of

be judged from the printed advice which the

it built its own home on the site of the inn
where Lafayette stopped on his visit to Phila-
delphia. Today it has 468. 900 depositors and
assets of $340.OO0.OO0.
But in spite of its completely conservative
history. there is nothing more modern than the
building it occupies today. No doubt the board
of managers themselves were bit perturbed
when they FIRST saw what they had produced.
