A WOMAN BANKER.

Among the professions into which. woman has made her way, perhaps the least obviously adapted to the natural feminine equipment is banking. Superficially, finance seems to be unfeminine. Yet Mrs. E. B. B. Reesor, of the Crown Bank of Canada, is not only herself a distinguished example of what a 1 woman may accomplish as a banker; but urges it as a suitable work for her sex. In a recent magazine article she gace the following general ground for her position:— "A young woman upon leaving college wishes to enter into some profession or business. Banking, of all professions, offers'the truest work, for_ banking is legitimate; it rings true, and in dealing with tho public there is nothing to hide. " Everyone is of equal importance who deals with tho bank ; everything is 0110 prico; there is nothing underhand or twofaced, and such business conditions—for man or woman—aro elevating. "Except there be a current of dishonesty, in an officer of the pank, and that officer makes dishonest conditions for herself, there can never be double dealing. For this reason alone, banking is the best profession that a young woman ca nprepare herself for. Truth is tho greatest thing in the world, and to feel that in daily business intercourse ' yes' means yes and 'no* means no, leaves a woman conscience free and soul untainted at the end of . every day, and she goes from her desk feeling that she has deceived no one."-
