itself, ana each must be judged OH
Its own merits. They state that
there are undoubtedly some society
women who are bad risks on ac-
count of the swift and dissolute lives
which they lead, hut they also agree
that it's just the same when applied
to the male sex. %
The views OF two authorities
quite at variance are worthy OF be.
ing quoted as they discuss the Ques.
ton briefly yet comprehensively.
One man says: II should say that
society women arc bad risks, unQues.
tionabiy SO. The fact is that there
are practically no companies which
will write insurance on them.
should think that on account OF the
Hives which many of them lead they
would be very undesirable risks"
Another expert says: THE state.
i1ierit that society women are bad
risks is absurd. Such sweeping gen.
civilizations should not be made.
There are probably society women
who are undesirable risks on account
Of the lives they lead: but 1t must
be remembered that such cases are
likewise found among men, and
among business women. .-,.
"WOmen as a class are undesirable
risks, because their deaths in most
| cases do not constitute money losses.
Lives are insured for what they are
worth. II they were insured or more
| than their value, We would have a
| constant slaughter of humanity. In.
surance Is Usually written on men
because they are the breadwinners,
Iand their death means a distinct
money loss. Business women have
a money value, and consequently are
considered good risks. Married
women are looked upon with hest.
fancy. because IN most cases they
are not producers.
ITO apply the term OF bad risk to
society women In general seems fool.
ish to ME. 1 know many prominent
society women who are heavily insur.
ed, and the companies consider them
exceptionally fine risks"
