12 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1910 A BANK FOR m WOMEN ONLY It Has Just Brai Started In Lon don With Miss May Bateman as President She Tells About Her Work. EVERY one knows how difficult It Is for the woman with a small allowance to manage It anil keop truck of where It goes. She Is debarred from the use of a check book, which would simplify mat ters, because it takes a certain amount of money to open an account of this sort If she carries the money around with her she spends more than she should and. what Is more, fritters away the whole amount In small ways until finally she does not know where It Is all gone. Englishwomen have found a solution. They have, started a woman's bank in London. No man may enter there, but any wo man may ojen an account with as little as $25 and become the proud pos sessor of a chock book, from which sho can draw against the said amount. There are a safety deposit box annex and a brokerage branch where stocks and bonds can be bought or sold by depositors. Miss May Hateman is the president of this new bank. She is the author of a number of poems and novels and has had wide journalistic experience, extending from London to South Africa. As regards her finan cial experience, she was for years sec retary to Sir Douglas Gordon of the board of trade and handled all his ac counts. In a recent Interview she gave the following facts about her novel position: "One must remember certain things as a bank manager. I admit that I have been keenly interested In the progress of woman's advancement. But when you take up the manage ment of a bank you have to bury all your personal views about politics, the ballot and similar controversial sub jects. You must preserve a detached or, at any rate, an absolutely impar tial attitude. I am hugely enthusias tic, however. Think of It! This is the first woman's bank In this country. That means a new profession for wo men, and who knows what may come of It? The whole staff Is composed exclusively of women, and I want to say, too, that their salaries compare well with the wages paid male employ- ' E-.-i" J ft, MI88 MAT BATElli-S. ees In any bauk, so there will be no talk about women ousting men from professions by taking lower wages. "We hope to provide special advan tages for women. In the first place, they can open a checking account with deposit of ouly 5. Heretofore the large deposits required by nearly all other banks have barred that privilege to women of limited means. Interest will be paid at the rate of 2'i per cent a year on the amount standing to the credit of the account where a mini mum balance of 10 has been main tained for six months. "There will be no fees exacted for the handling of small accounts. That will be a convenience for the girl wit a small dress allowance who wants a check book, and I think it is only when a girl possesses a check book that she really understands the use and value of money." MAItY DALE. She 6pek Fifty-four Languages. Miss Elizabeth 8. Colton, a citizen of Easthsmpton, Mass., has a great ad vantage over the rest of ber sex be cause she can express ber thoughts In fifty-four different languages, whlls most of them have got to get along tba best they can with one. ITobably only one other woman In America, at least, approaches Miss Colton as a linguist, and that is Miss Mary Montgomery, daughter of a Presbyterian missionary In Turkey, who astonished the faculty of the University of Berlin by her lin guistic accouiplisDinents and Is now editing a dictionary of oriental lan guages Id New York. Miss Colton has studied the live and dead language at Tarioiis schools on three continents and has recently re turned from a stay of a year and a half In India. Easy Way to Brown Potato.

The effect created by using the same or similar em broidery throughout the costume la very fetching and gives the wearer a most dressy appearance. Of course a gown such as that Illustrated Is apt to be expensive, especially If handmade embroidery Is used. With care ful selection and taste, however, machlue made material may be employed to good effect Especially Is this true of the all over English embroidery and the yelet flouncing that may be found In most good shops. The two hats In the picture are nice examples of present day styles. The French satl r trimmed with flowers and ribbons is especially well adapted to I f - " ) ft- . -; a v 1 OFJVATmp BLUE SATIS '.

The use on bats of oats and other grains and field flowers has met with great favor this year, and the hats carrying them are seen In the smartest milliners' shops. They are novel and very pretty when trimmed artistically and with au eye to their becomlngness to the wearer. Among the smartest gowns seen In the stores are those made of the soft, Clinging fabrics, such as the satins and foulards. The dress Illustrated, made of embroidered nattier blue satin, is about the latest word In embroidered cos tumes. Of course It Is hand embroidery, rich, heavy and expensive, that Is used. A PLEASANT REMARK. It Was th Only Ono th Crank Mad During the Game. At a whist club in Brooklyn whs an jld fellow who enjoyed the reputation of being a great ifnnk, and his an imadversions n.iinst his partners were o severe and his manners generally to bad that it was rare, indeed, that he could get any one to play with him. One night, however, a man happen ed In from the weM, and the avoided one promptly assailed him with a re quest to '-sit In." The western man j was about to comply when he was quietly taken aside by one of the mem bers til tne ciiii, who tout ulm the reputation of the crank. "I don't care," he said. "I can stand It, I guess." At the end of the evening he was pproui-hed once more by the curious member. "Well," said the member, "how did you manage?" "first rate." "Didn't he Insult you?" "Why, no." "Didn't he browbeat you?" "Not nt all." "Didn't he say anything?" "Nothing Fpcr-lnl. He only spoke ence during the whole course of the game." "What did he say then?" "Why, I didn't get the cards out right In the last round, and be looked over at me very pleasantly and said, "Why, you can't even deal, can you?" -Life. A Tory's "Tip." A goxl story In told of the times of the first reform bill In England, when the popular cry was "The bill, the whole bill and nothing but the bill." In those days the varlnus hostelrles long the row hlng roads were patron ized according to the political leanings ;f the landlord. One night a Tory ar rived ut a certain Inn and found to - ' 1.:. v d "Z ' X2fOCK.HAT .. .. .IK. i " -.j fc, fcv.'S) his horror tliat The TahflTorii was a Radical.

"There, sir," suld he, "is the bill, the whole bill and nothing but the bill." The Tale Tht Taft Told. While spending the winter In Geor gia before his inauguration as presi dent Mr. Taft went to the city of Alliens to deliver an address to the students of the University of Georgia. He met a member of the faculty a stanch Democrat who said: "Judge, I voted the Democratic tick et, but wanted to see you win." Judge Tuft replied: ' You remind me of the story of Br'er Jasper and Br'er Johnson, who were both deacons In the Shlloh Baptist church, although avowed enemies. "Br'er Jasper died, and the other dea cons told Br'er Johnson ho must say something good Hhout the deceased on Sunday night. At first he declined, but finally consented. "Sunday night, when time for the eulogy arrived, he arose slowly and said, 'Brederen and slsteren, I prom ised ter say sump'n good 'bout Dea con Jasper tonight, an' I will sny we all hopes he's gone whar we knows he ain't.'"

The effect upon the farmer when he said this was magic al. "Why, man," he said, "I've been looking for you all day." And then without more ado be knocked him down and walked on him from one eud to the other. The tramp got up, looking very staggered, and asked him why he had done that.
