MOTHERHOOD POLICY. The "new" women, the past- war women with their independ-i eace and self-reliance, bare } already made their mark on the world in many ways. Insurance methods and plans have now been adapted to meet their especial needs.
A Daily, Chronicle representa- tive recently had a chat with Mrs. M. R. Verten, who has re- cently been appointed manager of the women's, section of the Eagle Star and British Dominions Insurance Company. This is pioneer work, for, up to the pro- sent, insurance companies have ant concerned themselves with
"As a matter of fact," said ani authority on insurance when questioned on this point. "in- Surinde companies have never Frequnded women's lives or busi- Iness concerned with them as (being as good as those of men."
Be this opinion has been! charging since the coming of theị Armistice gelén-éd thousands! apon thusands of women, whose wits and prinies have beeni Isharpened by war work for Tensio
less and commercial ventures.
"I have always been wrapped in work for women." Mrs. Verdon said remontig. And 1 have always realised that the Im lern, Independent woman who marries is making a big sacrifice. The woman worker most often gives up her, income, and, enn- sequently. her economic inde- pendence, when she marries.
When children come. there; are the inevitable expenses. Cars, parambulators, and so on, have to be purchased. and there are the hundred and one. expenses to be met which are such a heavy drag on an ordinary middle-class income.
"In addition, there are thou- sands of war widows who have to educate their children and bring them up to be worthy citizens. They cannot do this on their pensions. Consequently, they must work. And while they are working they must think of the future.
I have discussed all these aspects exhaustively with a com- pany of well-known women, whol have agreed to am as an honncary bourd of reference, for the woman saction of the insurance company.

which. I think, meets the needs of the modern woman.
I am especially, proud of the Motherhood Policy. a three-fuld scheme which enables a woman to do three things, by means of Fearly contritution, which may he broken up into detailed pas- ments to suit individual incomes. These three ben fits are:-
1. An annuity or lump sum at the age of 55.
2. Payments of £10 at the birth" of each of five children.
3. £100 if death occurs within a month of the birth of a child.
Many fathers and mothers are helping their young daughters to take these policiesout," said Mrs. Verden. It may be that, when they get married, their husbands will pay a proportion of the in- surance for them.
"Anyhow, whichever way it may be arranged, I am glad that we have been able to fix up a scheme which should. I think, be of real use to the woman of to-day in helping her to make indepen- dent provision for herself, even should she give up her career."
