life insurance is still deferring the

his death. The would be insurant is
In good health today. but tomorrow
he may be stricken with disease
that may bar him from the ranks OF
the insurable. His reason for putting
of securing policy may be that It is
inconvenient at present to pay the pre-
MUM. But he should consider care
fully the fact that life insurance will
never be cheaper for him than 1t Is to-
day. His yearly premium on policy
taken cut now would be appreciably
less than would be the premium on a
policy of the same amount taken out
when he is year older. Delay, there

Stage Fright.

Very few people are really free from
liability to stage fright, and the vet
eran in public life Is just as likely to
be affected as Is the novice. Attacks,
moreover, frequently come when they
are least expected. Hence no speaker
or artist can face an audience and
feel sure that he will-not have to suf-
fer from the. tortures of this particu-
larly painful form Of nervousness.
Musicians. Of course. are the worst
sufferers The performer on a string
ed instrument is helpless if his hand
trembles. while the clear enunciation
Of singer can be ruined by that
"catch in the throat' or that witch
Ing Of the lips which is perhaps the
simplest and most common manifes-
tation of stage fright.
