"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. "I got my own way, of course. The Life Insurance was not taken, fl robbed the children of their or i Slccplesj NERVES education, of my care, perhaps of their future success in life. I robbed myself of the children's companionship. For now I must leave them to earn the money needed to keep our little family together - the money that Life Insurance won Id have given me if he had had his way" M--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. H Jtove That ;7V III A'ever "VfJl L4J0 t.
