A New Insurance Society.

An Old Maids Insurance Society
is talked of in London, much to the
delectation of the alleged funny
men who are always on the look out
for a target for their wit. They sug-
gest that another designation be
adopted, rs ladies of all ranks and
ages would repudiate an appellation
which has so much that is invidi-
Gus, disrespectful, and distasteful to
the feminine mind of approaching
age and single blessedness. "Old
maids" is certainly not a nice ex-
preston to put on a program OF a
society; but, whatever the title,
there is nothing chimerical or i'm
practicable in the project itself. A
similar society has long been in
operation throughout Denmark. and
works well and proftably. The
general outline OF the plan, il seems,
is that a lady who does not feel sure
that she means to be married, or
wants to he married, should pay an
annual premium to the central Of
fee; she receives form of policy
duly executed, and upon condition
that she pays her annual premiums
with regularity, she will receive at
the age Of forty a round sum pro-
pOrtionate to the extent of her in
vest ments, and with probably GER
tain bonuses. In case she marries
before or after that age, she must
forfeit all claim upon the company
Now that the number Of non marry
ing women is increasing so fast, a
society Of this sort would be q great
benefit to the many who are neces.
sarily self.supporting, and who. un.
less provided for in some such way
can only look forward to an old age
OF poverty and neglect.
