the most inaccurate is that which

melodrama does enter the scene and

scene outside the reading room
of the library than the market
quotation room Of an average Wall
Street broker.
Here sit three or four rows Of
men, most of them elderly. Sew
eral of them reading the afternoon
paper and looking up, now and then,
to sec how particular stock is be-
having. Two or three others sit and
talk about prospects and, after few
moments, one rises and leaves. One
or two more drift in and sit down,
pass the time Of day and leave after
looking over the list.
