SOME LATEST FRENCH STYLES.

Grace Margaret Gould, the fashion OK
pert, who has recently returned to this
country from Paris, writes in February
Woman's Home Companion:
Striped materials continue right on
being fashionable. and the woman who
needs a gown and one which she can
wear for a long time to como need have
no hesitancy in selecting striped silk
or striped wolfe for her gown.
I'm planning an evening costume there
arc one or two things which it is wise
that she bear in mind The first is,
short-waist effects are the vogue. Now.
if She can have but one evening gown.
it is better to select something that Is
not too extreme. Let us take it for
granted that she doesn't care for an
Empire gown such as fashionabl women
are wearing in Paris and New York to-
day. on the other hand, she doesn't
wish to spend her money for new cv-
cning dress and not have it reflect in a
measure the now fashion tendencies.
I'm this case let her try the high En-
pire girdle, which will give her gown
tho fashionable s1ort-waisted look.
skirts are long and extremely close
fitting over tho hips. Tho trimming is all
toward tho foot Even such fmy ma
terals as tulle and chiffon cloth are Of
ten made up with = band or velvet at
the bottom Entire aeux NJ flct not strik-
inRly embroidered in coarse silk Ho.sos
are tho fashion MS skirt trimmings. and
when they are used in this way n touch
of the same embroidery is introduced in
the blouse.
yelled effects are very fashiona BILE.

ANALYSIS OF INSURANCE..

During the year 1907, without max
Ing any change in the conservative
rules always applied in the selection
of risks ana exposed to most difficult
conditions of work on account of the
insurance agitations, the company
nevertheless issued on paid-for basis
a larger volume Of new insurance than
had been anticipated. Its thanks for
this are exclusively due to the loyal
faithful hard work OF its field mana
gers and agents everywhere. The new
issues, inclusive of restorations in
crcases. paid-up policies and extended
assurances. amounted to s1S107,1l 10. 90.
The preceding is on a paid-for basis.
On a written or issued basis the new
Insurance equalled s19.775.515.10. The
outstanding insurance at the close of
1907 amounted to $151,T79.2S1.70, on n
paid for basis. The outstanding in
surance on an issued basis g.
uualled sl53467.4723S of which
1914 per cent is on life plans, 30.07 per

ECONOMIES ENFORCED.

Apart from these causes, however,
there were actual economies enforced
and secured in practically every item Of
management, of which few are &C
counted for by change in book
keeping methods but most by ac-
tual savings in expense. In proof of this
analysis it may be said that there were
decreases in commissions to agents of
sl9l,52i.So, in premiums paid for bonds OF
So, 1873 80, and in profit and loss account
of s61, 5000 a total of 500 O5.15, leaving
the sum of s64,5 s. to apply on account
of savings in other directions Without
this explanation it would be impossible
TO assign to the report of this company
or Of any other company a true intcrprc
tation Of its expense experience in 1907
because of the dissimilar conditions which
prevailed in two successive years. Con-
sstent gains in assets and insurance
demonstrate the persstency of member
ship support and the fact that they APP
prove the services rendered by the com
pany. Its total payments to policyholders
since organization have now reached the
sum of $37, COS. G31 "A and this amount will
certainly exceed forty millions by the
close Of 1905

The 5Sth annual report to the policy

In which he said in part:
out of the total sum disbursed there
was paid to polcyholders for all causes
as itemzcd under outgo, s3,36l Col 90
which was a net increase over the pre-
cedng year OF sg1l,32S Sc. while all dis
bursemcnts other than to policyholdcre
wera decreased during tho same period
o time in the sum Of S}54, 39l92 The
Gauss which influenced the increase In
payments to policyholders are normal,
being due to the steady growth in size
and age of the company and to the nat
ural maturities Of outstanding contracts
The causes which diminished the total
item of management expenses were in
some respects abnormal. arising from
decreased commissions paid for new bust
ness, from a decrease in the amount If
the new business itself and from radi-
cal and extraordinary shrinkage during
1907 in the price Of municipal bonds.
