FEMININE CHAT,
It is estimated that a man regards
his promise more binding than a wo-
man does hers- , '.
Men seem to think that a woman can
get 1 eady f01 a week’s outing at a mo-
ment’ 5 notice.
And now the1e is no one who feels
that the world is quite as much hers as
the school teacher.
A big policeman looks awfully small
when he arrests a mite of a boy for set-
ting off a few firecrackers.
A woman infinitely prefers her hus-
band or her intended to be more popu-
lar with'men than he is with women.
It is not until you have to stop to
count the pieces y ou send to the laun
dry that you realize you are not keep-
ing house.
Before you get your bang trained
back for summer wearing autumn ar-
rives and you feel that you have had
' all trouble for nothing.
It is the ruination of feminine dis-
position to become a telephone girl.
An office building on Saturday after-
noon is about the quietest place in
town.
And now that the fizz-boom is all
over there promises to be a lull for a
while.
The person who says honestly, “I
can’t afford it ” wins far more respect
from the world at large than the one
who pretends to be able to do every-
thing, no matter what it is.
There are some people who expect
to be written to, but who find it too
troublesome to do a little letter writ-
ing themselves. This applies especial-
ly to travelers in foreign lands.

-. Couldn’t be Buncoed.
The President of one of the leading
Eastern colleges was recently journey.-
lug toward this city, and found him-
self in the same seat with an old man
whose general appearance betokened
the farmer. They soon fell into con-
versation, and, after saying that he
was on his first visit to the metropolis,
the farmer mentioned the name of the
little village up among the hills of New
Hampshire, from which he came, and
remarked that he supposed his friend
and never heard of it. “Oh, yes,” said
the man, “I was born there.” Imagine
his astonishment when the country-
man, after staring at him several sec-
onds, exclaimed: “See here, I’ve heard
all about you bunco fellers, and you
can’t get a chance to bunco me!” So
saying, he grabbed his carpet bag, and,
marching down the aisle, took a seat
on the other side of the can—New York

Sapphire blue velvet, coral-pink and

' united in this charming neglige or tea
jacket. The adjustment is rendered
perfect by the use of'a well fitted lining
that reaches only to the waist line, this
1ining has a wide french back, under-
arm gores and fronts with single bust
darts which close in the centre. The
full vest which is of mouseline-de-soir
arranged over satin is gathered at the
upper edge where it is joined to the
lower edge of a short pOintedyoke. A
stylish feature is the jacket fronts which
are reversed to form graduated reveres
that roll back displaying to advantage
the vests of the contrasting material.
Under—arm gores separate the fronts
from the back which is seamless and
arranged over the lining beneath to fit
smoothly across the shoulders with full-

Compared.
IETNA LIFE and LOIINELIIOU‘I1 MUTUAL
HE comparative merits of the so-called “purely mutual” system of manage-
ment for life insurance companies and ‘of stock management are
clearly shown by the following comparisons.
We have selected the
largest proxy -mutual company in the New England States (the Conne c
ticut Mutual, and compare it, with the ETN A LIFE, the largest com-
pany with stock management.
The Connecticut Mutual. by its annual statement filed with the Insurance
Commissionei of this State, January 1,1897, shows that it has $525,093. 79 more
than its entire surplus. invested 1n real estate.
estate in 1896, $1,108,702. 75).
1896 amounted to $298, 675. 90, 01 $42. 911. 31 more than its entire income from that
source, hence it appears f1 om the sw01n statement of that company that no in-
come was realized from its surplus, nor from the $525, 093. 79 (the excess of real
estate over surplus), but, on the contrary it was behind from that source, as
shown above. $42 ,.911 31.
Of the ZETNA LIFE' S surplus ($6, 711, 502. 25). it had on the first of January
last, as shown by its statement filed with the Commissioner, real estate amount-
ing to $486, 348. 25, leaving of its surplus to be otherwise invested $6,225,154.00.
Its net income from real estate amounted to $8,150. 82.
in real estate earned 1n 1896 5 1-10 per cent, 011 $317,482.85, to which add its in-
come from real estate as above, makes $325,633.67 earned upon its surplus alone.
The Connecticut Mutual, on the other hand, instead of earning anything on this
pait of its assets, shows a loss, as above stated, of $42. 9“. 3|.
These unfavorable investments affect the dividends of that company.
the Connecticut Mutual obtained as favorable results, in the above particular,
as the ETN A LIFE, it would have gained' 1n the year 1896, ove1 its present ex-
perience, $469, 138, 25.):
