My pay at the bank was so small 1 could not live and keep my family in the way l saw friends keep theirs. (Wider's pay is said to have been s1,200 a year)- I kept thinking about the way in which money was made in the stock market I heard how easy it was and that any one could get in there and speculate. The risk, I was told, was nothing.
 T talked the situation over care fully with men who told me they knew all about stocks and speculation. Then I decided to take a chance.
 But I never had a chance. It was always, always, messages from the brokers for More margins, more mar gins They seemed unsuitable Not, however until I was in so deep that I could not see the way out, did l get reckless At least I did not think l was reckless at the beginning, but l realize it now.
 saThen when had. got in practically 11p to my neck I went the limit. It could not be much worse. I thought, and any day it might turn in my favor And here I am.''
