It would be a distinct breach to ask to see the famous collection of "scruple" books in which the members dip at will; and you mustn't even cast a longing eye at the Vanity Fairs laid out in the magaxine reading room.

It saw its gold stocks dip $51,000,000 but its ratio of gold-to-notes was still over 60%. And it will continue impregnable as the job of renovating the U. S. banking structure goes on.
