When women began, a few decades ago, to invade the professions of law and medicine, the new departure was widely and anxiously debated, and doubts were expressed in many high quarters whether the body politic could stand the' chock of such innovations upon established customs. But the world has gone on revolving just as it did before, and society now refuses to admit that it has been undermined by the woman doctor or the woman lawyer, tn nearly every line of business save finance women have also been distinguishing themselves for some years. But while thousands of women are managing their private fortunes with sound business judgment and thousands of others successfully engaging Ju commercial ventures, the number of professional financiers of the feminine gender, the Hetty Greens of the broker's office and the banking concern, is still small, and the woman who manages other folks' cap'tal as a business is so rare as to caue comment whenever she makes a public appearance. But women are not long to be kept out of
