I WOMAN BANKER SUCCESS. * " Looks After Department in Richmond * Institution?Is From Atlanta. "Wlhen the Merchants National Bank of Richmond, Va., decided to open a woman's department it was an I (innovation unheard of in that state. Mrs. J. Gelene McDonald Bowman, - after much persuasion on the part of the bank officials and much objection on the part of her conservative parents and the conservative family of her husband, took the managership of the department: T*hp sweet-voiced. dark-haired 1 young woman must have been destined for the banking business or inherited it. She says the blood of her ancestors must have something to do with her love of the banking business. Her great-great-grandfather, Joseph Winter, of New York, was Alex-j aaader Hamilton's most intimate friend, in fact he was asked to be Hamilton's second in the famous duel with Aaron Burr, and was in close touch with the finances of the treasury. Winter was secretary of Washington's committee of safety and was one of the two men who signed the first issue of United States currency.

H^^^HBwihen asked for her credentials in HflH^^^Bnging to the National Federation ^^^^^^^ Business and Professional WoClubs, of which she is a state HHBHBsiden>t. Mrs. Bowman answered: am in on three counts?banking is my business, music my profession anc my real job is wife and housekeeper.' Then she added diplomatically: "Hav ing the finest husband ever captured the job is my favorite." Mrs. Bowman was born in Atlanta Ga., reared in Richmond and educat ed in Washington, D. C. She was graduated from the Holy Cross convent in the academic and musical de partments. She did not contemplate a business career and made no prepa ration for one. She did, (however, be come identified with various women's organizations in Richmond. In 1913 she married J. K. Bowman a^ A . AT "D ati*yy*> o n JUUUgCSX &UU ui. UU1> A. <U.
