"Does the average woman invest her insurance money well?' I asked in inter ruption of the Nice Young Mans dsser- tation.
 That depends altogether upon how she has been reared" he answered. If she has been used to extravagant living and
 has never been denied anything In her life, she doesn't know the value of a dollar and usually goes to work and
 spends all of her money right away. But if she has lived frugally and has had to
 save and skimp, she'll go to some good business man and get him to invest her money for her and live on the interest. One woman will be left a widow with not
 more than $50D after all the debts are
 cleared away, and at the end of ten years she will have more money in bank
 than the woman whoAlad s10o0O left her and is reckless and extravagant. Every
 time I hear Of women wanting the Sut-
 frage, I say, let 'em have it. The soone.

 and realize the value of a hard earned dollar, the more women and children will be provided for against poverty and l want"
