I
had
only
known
this
would
happen!
So
suddenly!
So
unexpectedly!
And
when
everything
looked
so
promising!
"And
to
think
that
time
after
time
he
wanted
to
increase
his
life
insurance
and
I
talked
him
out
of
it
How
hard
I
worked
against
myself
and
against
my
own
interests.
I
wanted
a
bigger
house.
I
wanted
luxuries!
I
wanted
everything
except
the
protection
he
was
urging
me
to
accept.
y
"I
got
my
own
way,
of
course.
The
Life
Insurance
was
not
taken.
I-
robbed
the
children
of
their
education,
of
my
care,
perhaps
of
their
future
success
in
life.
I
robbed
myself
of
the
children's
companionship.
For
nqw
I
must
leave
them
to
earn
the.
money
needed
to
keep
our
little
family
together
-
-
the
money
thatLifelnsurancewould
have
given
me
if
he
had
had
his
uay--
"--and
I
talked
him
out
of
it."
It
has
been
truly
said
that,
"If
every
wife
knew
what
every
widow
knows,
every
man
would
carry
adequate
Life
Insurance".
And
too
often
it
is
the
children
who
must
pay
the
penalty
of
the
wife's
prejudice.
