Home in Good Taste
BY SARA HILAND.

With the increasing interest In that
old, old game of backgammon comes
the demand for attractive equipment.
Many, of course, will find up in their
attics or tucked away in some store
room old backgammon boards which
served to entertain many years ago
and then were discarded for more mod
ern games.
But for those who must buy new
boards, many kinds are being offered.
Some are reversible tables with a back
CANNON board of one side and a check

Insurance.

Were your husband to die and leave
you with children to support tomorrow,
it is doubtful If his life insurance would
provide adequately for you and them.
This is stated because few WIDOWS
are left adequately provided for. OF
course, one can blame the husband
neglect, but it Is not all his fault.
II he is moderately successful, his in
come is $4,000 a year, let's say. In
order to leave you an equal income ne
would have to car-v about $4,000
worth of insurance.
That would cost not less than about
81. 200 a year. Obviously 1t cannot be
done-that is, few families would care
to give up Is per cent Of their income
for life insurance.

1t is funny how differently people
look at this matter. Jumper the Hare
wears white coat in Winter, and re-
joices in it when there is snow on the
ground. You see, it makes It very
difficult for hungry enemies to see him.
But II you should ask Jumper, sus-
pect he would say that it was most un-
fair that Whitley the Snowy Owl, who
has a taste for Hare, should have a
white coat, or that Shadow the Weasel
should also be dressed in white in Win
ter. On the other hand, suspect that
Whitley and Shadow would say the same
thing in regard to Jumper. 1t makes a
difference who wears the coat.

ming folk up there in the Far North, I
