Short Skirt Is Doomed

placed by the long skirt, really

and the geographical location, has
been made by a New York leader OF
society, who has just returned from
Paris, the fashion center OF the
world.
She says that the short skirt mas

WIDOW COLLECTS
INSURANCE POLICY
THAT HAD LAPSED
Mutual Life Pays Policy
That Heirs of John Tate
Supposed was Long Since
Void

On July 5th of this year the Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of New
York paid to Flora M Tate, widow
Of John NJ. Tate, who died on July
list, 1918, the sum of $97S, being the
proceeds of $1,000 ordinary life
policy which Mr., Tate procured in
February, 1913
This policy was issued on Febru-
airy Gath, 1913, and Mr.. Tate paid
four annual premiums on same OF
$3S.0S each, or total of $152.32,
less his dividends each year totaling
$22.65, or a net cost Of $129.67.
For the year 1917 Mr.. Tate was
unable to meet his premium and the
policy lapsed and no premium was
paid for 1917 or 1918, and on July
|, 1918, Mr.. Tate suddenly died. No
attention was paid 10 the policy by
Mrs. Tate at that time, as she knew
that THE policy lapsed for non-pay-
ment of premium for 1917, and 1t
was only with regrets that she
would think OF 1t, only wishing that
they might have kept 1t up for the
benefit it would have been to her
during the trying times OF the loss
of her husband. She was not aware
of the clause In the policy which
provides that If a policy lapses 1t
automatically converts itself into
term insurance without any action
of the assured. In this case, after
the payment of the premium for four
years, the policy provided for an ex-
tended term insurance OF the face or
policy for S years and los days,
which covered the death of Mr..
Tate's death.
Incidentally, one day short time
ago, when Archie Winters was in the
office of 0. E. Norell, the local rep
resentative of the insurance COM
pany, the question OF insurance came
up, and Mr.. Winters mentioned that
his brother-in-law John Tate, car
ried life insurance policy for three
or four years, but had let II lapse
for non-payment of premium year
or two before he died 1t was then
suggested that the policy be looked
up, as it might have value, which
was promptly done, with the result
| that 1t was found that the policy
was still in force, and that there
was due Mrs. Tate the full face OF
the policy. Proof of death blanks
were Immediately procured from the
Salt Lake office and completed, but
it was discovered that Mr.. Tate had
made a mistake OF one year in his
age when giving the application for
the insurance, and the adjustment
of the premium ratA On account Of
this error reduced the face of the
policy $22, and instead Of $1,000,
Mrs. Tate received her draft for
1918.
Instances Of this kind demonstrate
the value of life insurance, and es-
pecially old line insurance.
