War and Life Insurance.

II inquired Of man high up in
the affairs OF big life insurance COM
pany whether the killing of so many
soldiers will bring heavy losses upon
American life insurance companies.
Far smaller than you might think,
was his answer. 1t is true one New
York company has $4OO,0OO,OOO of in
surance in the countries which are at
war, but the number of soldiers killed
will be but small proportion of all
the people who carry insurance.

Utilizing Lace ShaWIs.

Those who possess old style shawls
of chantilly, Spanish, burgess or Italian
laces may renew them with an eye
toward their ultimate usage for this
winters donning. Laces of this de-
scription and shape may be fashioned
into wonderfully effective capes for
this winters wear, and without cutting
or defacing their delicate threads or
altering them in any way. They should
be mounted on mousseline, chiffon and
satin lining and may be affixed to
handsome collars of brilliant hued vel
vets or be decorssd with furs.
