On the Making Of Wills.

Very few women, unless possessed
!of property and actual money value,
think of making wills, yet a moments
reflection shows how unwise this is.
We may not possess much from a
worldly point Of view, yet we all
have something which will have to
be disposed of when we can no longer
use it. Apart from the friction
ton of even the smallest trinkets, it
is best to leave instructions for their
disposal.
One knows which relative or friend
will best value particular article.
One would not leave brooch to the
cousin that has dozens, or some Of
your music to a friend who does not
know one tune from another.
Making a will will not cause I'M
timely death, and it does not neces-
state getting in a lawyer One has
only to get two persons not inter-
|ested in the will to witness the sigma
ture Of it. Another point probably
to be gained lies in the fact that If a
married lady makes will when in
good health her husband may do
likewise. Many men without prop
1erty, merely in receipt Of a salary,
do not make will because they have
Inn1,y fhofr 1{fo <o
leave. They ignore the fact that in
the event of their dying intestate the
widow will only get portion Of that
