A Woman Who Keeps a Million Secrets

She is Helen Jack, twenty-five years of age, and she lives in a flat in one of the buildings of Highgate, in London. This young woman is distinguished by the precision of her information, and those who know her describe her as a woman who keeps a million secrets—the private secrets of the banks.

She is the British manager of one of the four great banks of New York, and she is likewise the first woman to occupy such a post.

And if one of the great banking men of London has business with the Manufacturers' Union Company of New York, he must call upon Miss Helen.

It would never occur to anyone that she is among those engaged in the business of banks, for she always appears in an elegant guise: she wears stockings of the fine sort and smart clothes, uses lipstick, and dresses her hair in the newest style, and she takes the most particular care of the nails of her hands. She learned the secrets of the great banks when she was secretary to Mr. James S. Canuth, director of one of the great banks, when he was negotiating the matter of strengthening the relations of the banks of England with America.
