SMOKING IN BANKS.
Forbidden While Doors Are Open, but
Permitted After They Close.

From the New York Times.
In every bank in New York there is a
rule against smoking, and it is doubtful
If any depositor or visitor to any banking
institution in the town ever saw a coil of
tobacco smoke sitting through the atmos-
phere in the big counting houses-that is,
no visitor who is excluded from the build
ing promptly when the bank closes. But if
the curious could squeeze their way through
those closed portals in the afternoon they
would be treated to very different sight.
The rules against smoking in all the big
banks of the city apply only during bank
ing hours. After the doors are closed and
locked one can transform himself into q
human volcano with perfect freedom-and
he does. And he is legion.
The favored one who is allowed to remain
within the locked doors of such an institu-
ton as the National City Bank is treated
to an unusual spectacle. At least $50 clerks
are employed In this bank, and of that
number there are probably not score who
do not indulge In the weed"
AS the hands of the clock approach clos
ing time 150 pairs Of eyes search for the
form Of the superintendent Of the building.
AS he approaches the door, hands reach
into pockets with military unison of move
ment. The hands rest there until the lock
clicks In the door. Then, in twinkling,
cigarettes cigars and pipes are produced.
and in another second there is fusillade Of
striking matches Before a minute passes
a dense blue vapor begins to rise behind the
bright glass partitions and before the clerks
