HONESTY OF WOMEN
There is unusual food for reflection
in the report from New York of the
arrest of a woman bookkeeper on the
charge of grand larceny of $2,000.
with the prospect of investigation
showing defalcations amounting to
$50,000.
Reports of this sort are exceedingly
rare.
This is the exception which empha
sizes the generally acknowledged fact
that women are seldom found want
ing in the honest adminitsrntion of
similar trusts.
The business integrity of women in
independent enterprises is also gen
erally acknowledged to be almost uni
versal, but of course in this domain
experience has not been so ample as
in that of salaried employment
There was a "get-rich-quick"
scheme of pseudo-banking started by
some women in Boston many years
ago, to which many hundreds of per
sons fell easy victims, and doubtless
plenty of women adventurers could
be cited in seeming contradiction to
the general fact
But such cases are pot relevant
for it is not the question of outright
swindling schemes, but of shakines
in persons who start out with pood
intentions, that is of general inter
est.
The number of women now em
ployed in business and confidential
positions which offer opportunities
to dishonesty is very great, but it is
