MRS. JOHN A. iOGAN'S
TALKS TO WOMEN
Lie Insurance Policies as Wedding
Presents
This is the second Of Mrs. Loecn's series
OF Informative Talks

L think they must make every sacri-
fee to give their daughter a smart
wedding and a great send-of; that they
must present them with a chest of silver,
or, at least. with many pieces of silver,
far more than thev have accumulated
in a quarter of a century of their married
life. In most cases the silver and such
wedding presents are put into safety de-
post vaults for their safe keeping. How
much wiser if the parents would present
their daughters with paid-up Life Insur-
ance Policies so that they would have
something upon which they could depend
should their husbands prove ~unfortu-
nate, unsuccessful or improvident.
No matter what complications may
attend a mans estate a Life Insurance
in favor of his wife makes her absolutely
independent for a time at least, which
may be long or short according to the
amount for which he was insured. The
same thing follows a policy in favor of
his children. Creditors may swoop down
upon all his property, personal and real.
and leave the wife and family pennilcss,
but they cannot touch his Life Insurance.
1t is the one thing which serves the
purpose for which it was secured: it
will furnish immediate relief in a trying
hour without process of law; the bene-
~fciaries have nothing to do but present
the papers to the nearest agent with
evidence of the death OF the policy
holder and receive the money withou.
delay.
Stocks and bonds which are often
given as wedding presents are all very
well. but they frequently depreciate and
in some instances become valueless. \
Life Insurance policy in a good company
never depreciates but stands for its full
value until 1t is paid.
Men relying upon their daily labor
can insure their lives for small sums at
least If unable to do 50 they should not
marry. Women should not entrust their
happiness to men who are unable to
show some evidence of their ability to
provide for them. Most women can earn
their own living If they are single and
unincumbered by a family. Then why
marry men who are unable to better their
condition, knowing as they do that
marriage means 4 family, Many women
not only support themselves but their
families and carry Life Insurance for the
protection OF their loved ones should
they be taken away from them.

cation. the literature of the Metropolitan
