She has always been a believer in life insurance and con- siders it one of the &reat safeguards In the history of the world. Can anything be more unfortunate than the situation of a young mother with children to bring up, left alone in the world without a dollar? How many tragedies have begun this way? It is this carelessness on the part of some husbands and fathers that has made the Mothers' Pensions . neces- sary, says Mrs. Smith, and refers to her own experience after the 'flu epi. demic in British Columbia, and quotes the Bible, I Timothy, V, 8: "It any provide not for his own, and es- pecially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and fis worse than an infidel." That is a pretty strong statement, but one you cannot get away from, and we are learning from time to time, that in: fidels, as far as insurance is concern- ed, are becoming more rare. Statis- tics show we have fewer today than ever: before in the world's history. The average man's excuse is that he cannot afford it, but when one thinks of the theatre tickets and boxes of candy young husbands bring their wives, one wonders it sensible girls wouldn't rather know' that their fu- ture was being provided for. Love would be more surely shown by pro- viding comfort for the future than amusement for the present. ------ REDUCES COST OF GOWNS. --_---- New Invention Saves Money and Makes Finer Clothes, Like many other really great in- ventions, the Deltor--as it is called --is simple.
