Company, Contract, Cost.

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company Of Newark, N. j., Is an old
company with traditions and ideals
and with vast experience. There Is no
hazard of inexperience involved in be-
coming a member Of such an institu-
ton. So much for Security.
The second consideration Is the Con-
tract. 1t is almost an axiom that
Mutual Benefit policies contain special
and peculiar advantages not combined
in the policies Of other companies.
The final consideration is Cost. In
buying a suit of clothes, or any other
commodity, price is not the first con-
sideration. Price depends directly
upon quality. When you buy suit
you look about until you see some
thing that satisfies you, something that
is substantial something that will be
serviceable. Having found 1t you speak
of the cost.
The net cost Of Mutual Benefit in
surance is low by reason OF the econ
omy with which the Company is ad-
ministered, it's low mortality and its
profitable and stable investments.
If you insist on Quality, combined
with the lowest cost consistent with
absolute security, you will eventually
insure with the Mutual Benefit, the
Leading Annual Dividend Company.
Don't lose sight Of the fact that the
man who buys insurance Is the one
who pays the freight. and that wise
men look out for their own interests
and buy from the agent who Is able to
furnish undoubted proof that he has
the best goods. All companies are not
about the same" An investigation
will convince the most skeptical.

THE BAL MASQUE
 AT SOUTHERN CLUB.

As the time draws near for the mas querade ball. which, on the night of Shrove Tuesday, February 8. at the South ern club, introduces the penitential sea- son for Birmingham society folks, the in- terest grows apace, and small doubt is felt that 1t will eclipse all other efforts in this direction made by the club in times past.
 The Mardi Gras ball last year is still talked of, but indeed where can one find more food for laughter and remnis- cence than in yesteryear's masked ball? ? In almost every southern heart, how ever ,old fingers the memory of some stately bal poudre, where laughing lips, rosy cheeks and flashing eyes challenged recognition with their aureole of powdered and coiled hair. and the shimmer of stiff brocade with panniers and hchus tan talized the unaccustomed eyes; or maybe some gay domino cotillon, where the loose and shapeless garments incased slender. heroic and petite alike, making the merriest Of disguises; or better than all, the masquerade as 1t is followed in the happy cities of the soutk, with span- ish dancer and prim Puritan maid, trou- badour and cowled monk, fruit vender and empress; demure Marguerite and playful clown wove the intricacies of the dance on terms of laughing equality
