POST-WAR PLANS for Her
Begin at Home
YOUR wife is just as much
concerned about post-war planning as anyone, but sho thinks in terms of her home and family now.
Sho wants security, but she must rely on you alone to quard against the hazards that threaten it.
What assurance has she that the family will have money to buy the necessities of life if you are taken from them? Life in- surance provides a means by which you can guarantoo to them a continuing Income.
To provide this security in any other way is quito imposa1- ble for most husbands. To do It through systematic and regu lar life insurance premiums is both practical and suro.

Elegant Theatre Suit
Milgrim
By PRUNELLA WOOD UTSTANDING in the parade of wonderful fashions for after-dark oc- casions, this sooty-black formal, shorter gown and shoulder wrapping wrap to match. Slim as a costume can be, closely moulded as
a dressmaker can contrive it, the model is yet an casy and elegant creation.
The fabric is black silk erepe, entirely covered with black soutache braid stitch- ing, in effect like a fabu- lous, sheer fur. The wrap- me-tight capelet is held to- gether by a hook easily manipulated, centre back at the waistline. The frock has a low, round neckline back and front, almost no sleeves, and is totally with- out accent trimming. Shown with it is a small black velvet half-hat, with glycerined ostrich trim.
