WON'T INSURE ADS.
Lloyd's Agency Turns Down Request
on Directoire Gowns.

NEW YORK, August Evident
ly the British business man, as view
ed by members of the London
Lloyds does not believe that the
"Sheath Gown" is destined to become
popular in the United States. At any
rate the members of the famous
London Insurance Company refused
to issue a policy for $4,000 on a con-
signment of Sheath" gowns recently
imported from Paris by local de-
partment store. -
The uptown merchants, feeling
somewhat skeptical as 10 just how
well the latest Paris custom would
take with New York women, asked
an insurance broker, to obtain a pol
icy insuring the sale of the gowns, in
other words to insure the popularity
of the Sheath" gown.
The Britisher knew that the Lon
don Lloyds were willing to write a
policy on anything, from presidential
elections to the safeguarding Of an
automobile race course, or the fuc-
tuations of the stock market, and
promptly applied for a policy on the
sheath gowns. To his surprise, how
ever, he was, to use his own words,
turned down cold" He applied to
several other companies with the
same results.

mass Of the people finally were moved
to consider 1.-The fowls Of the air" by
pure sentiment rather than by any
fear that the disappearance Of the
birds would be followed by the depop'
ulation OF the globe. The feeling OF
humanity has done much to check the
thoughtless slaughter Of the song and
insectivorous birds.
Their close companionship may be
won by him who will seek It in SYM
pathy and in kindness.
Possibly the use Of story and Illus
tration will make an impression upon
the mind. With the exception of a
few berries and cherries, the food Of
the common robin consists entirely Of
insects. The robin at certain seasons
OF the year eats about double its
weight in insects every day. At first
glance, the robin being comparative.
ly small, 1t may not seem that this
gustatory performance is anything re-
markable, but stop a moment to make
a comparison. A man, in order to sat
isty an equally well-developed appe-
lite, would have to eat about 300
pounds Of food all told at his three
daily meals. To have the capacity to
care for this amount OF provender he
would needs be 30 feet high, ten feet
thick from front to back and five feet
broad across the shoulders. II he

day his stature would have to be In
creased until he lowered above the
Washington monument In order to
give him room within his body to put

to eat 20 sustain life.
It must be borne In mind that the
robin and its brother birds breakfast,
dine and sup largely upon noxious In
sects.
