To one smiling young c I matron putting ".side the proverbial i il "nest egg,'' or, still more, smiling ( e young mother depositing in trust for ,' g til.* first baby, there arc ten sad-fae- ji e ed women in black, many of them r ' with widows' veils. This was especially true recently j e when the panic sent, anxious deposi tors by the hundreds to draw out II savin:rs, and ii w s for.' especially refcrshing to see in e that crowding sombre line not " Lola e from Berlin," but Margucrifa from j n Italy, a trim, bright-eyed little wov man with a scarlet handkerchief - around her neck and her uncovered, i i- glossy, black locks puffed and hraided and curled as if for tin inaugura- . i- lion ball.

The woman behind her waa e almost crying with impatience. The 1 line swayed as if it had been a row e ol bricks and some one had hit the o last brick in the row. Still Marguerr ila folded and unfolded the bills; she 1- had all the repose of her native land. 1- "You sure?" she said at last. ! e "Noii sure these all inino?" c "All yours," the man answered >- laconically. Ordinarily ho would have told her s she was blocking the line, bill this i- day he saw no objection lo the delay ! She ventured one more question, j "You snro these mino?these dol-j 1 ans? I thought I put in fives an ens." "Those are all yours," he assure ler emphatically. "All right, then." she said idionir ieallv. "Tony?niy man?he tell m iiv money not here, lie say, * lake i 11 out.' 1 say, '1 go see.' " .
