THE REoRGANiZED NEW YORK
 LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

.r me new Board of Trustees of tbe Ne" York Life Insurance Company .nosen Dy the policyholders under inc armstrong laws, has taken charge of .he company's affairs and has begun tue work of reorganization.
 Tn choosing the principal off1cers of the company, the Board has adhered to the idea that life insurance con- pany should be managed by life in- surance men. The new president is Darwin P. Kingsley, college bred man of good New England stock, who has been in the company's service in variety of capacities for period of nearly twenty years. In the parlance of life insurance, he began with the rate book and has advanced step by step up to his present position. The first vice president of the com pany is Thomas A. Buckner, who has served the company for more than a quarter of century,-indeed has never had any other business connec- tion.
 Associated with these men are others long trained in the company's 1 oSl NlCS, cdCl du cApSlI HI uio OWn uS- partment of work. Wm. E. Ingersoll, who has for many years had charge of the company's great business in Europe, is one of the second vice pres idents, and will continue at the head of the company's office in Paris.
 Rufus w. Weeks, who has been in the company's service for nearly forty years, ranks next to MT. Buckner as vice president, and continuous as chief actuary of the company.
 The policyholders have expressed their belief in this company in no un- certain terms. The upheaval in life in- surance within the last two years has resulted in a great deal of misunder- standing and policyholders, alarmed on matters which were not very clear to them, have been disposed to give up their contracts at a heavy sacrifice. This has not been true in the New York Life to any great extent. The com pany had $2,000, 100000 insurance on its books when the life insurance in vestigation began, and while the laws of the State of New York now do not permit any company to write over $150,O00O00 a year (which is about one-half the New York Life formerly did), the company's outstanding busi. ness still exceeds $2,000, 100000.
 Policyholders generally will be still further treasured by this action of the Board, as it places at the head of the company to protect their interests men of thorough training and unexception able character.

HOME QUESTION MoMENToUs.
Has Made Many Men Shy of Matrimonial
Bonds

The three things which men and wom-
en- marry for are love. companionship
and a home. All simple, natural, in
deed instructive wants. Unfortunately
whereas, the first two may be arrived at
simply and naturally, the third is a diff
ferent matter entirely.
n pair of squirrels on housekeeping in
tent have nothing more TO do than to
find convenient hollow in beech
trunk and line the cavity with soft moss.
Happily, or unhappily, mankind has pro-
crossed for beyound this stage of sweet
simplicity, and the most perfectly matched
pair cannot marry without a home.
It's just this question of a home which
makes so many modern young men mar
rlage-Shy. And, to say the truth. it is the
men who think most and use their eyes
most who hesitate more than their fell
lows. These have noticed how much
more eXacting is the girl of today than
is her mother. They know that house
rents are higher, that servants wages
have risen. and that maids are more diff
hcult to get and keep.
Some blame these men and call them
selfish. But they are not all selfish
Many consider the girls they might and
would like to marry more than they do
themselves. They have had glimpseS at
homes made miserable by narrow means,
they have watched the faces of married
chums sharpen and their clothes grow
shabby. At any rate such men are not
more selisl, han. those who rush rashly
into matrimoay without sufficient money
in hand or income in prospect to justify
them in doing So
What is a home? That is a question
which has thousand answers, but one
which each engaged pair must decide for
themselves before taking the rrevocabie
step of matrimony. They too. must
thoroughly thrash it out, decide what is
the minimum with which they can be
content: and when that is decided upon,
count the cost.
What did you marry me for to let
me work like slave?" the young wife
will say. and why didn't you tell me
YOU couldn'tGet along without serv-
antT' the husband will retort. Such
determinations are poison to married hap
pinesS, and after that no amount of
money can restore that harmony, that
ideal union, without which home is Il
mere empty phrase. -
If the young man of today is to blame
for counting too carefully the cost and
self-sacrifces of marriage. the girl is
equally culpable for requiring so much
more than her mother did quarter of a
