New opportunities are there today that did nut exist yesterday I SOCIETY WOMAN POOR INSURANCE RISK; DRINK TOO MUCH AND OVEREAT The married woman ‘in society’ is one of the worst risks in life insurance. She eats ten much, drinks too much, keeps too late houis and makes her life a burden by’ social worries. She is i worse risk than the department -tori girl who stands on her feet all day— and thesi saleswomen usually either marry or die young." Dr. E. J. Spratling, head of the med ical department of the Empire Life In surance Company, made this statement today. Dr. Spratling has just returned from the American life insurance con vention in Chicago, where he delivered an address on "Women as Insurance . Risks." “Among housewives the orthodox Jewish woman in middle age is tin best. She is inherently and religiously] clean: she takes h< . religion naturally | and doesn’t worry over it. The middle class housewife 7 among the Christian.-.! while not so good a risk as among the Jewish women, is fair ami ranks with the better class of working girl.’’ Women are not sue.! dangerous risks I as is generally supposed, according to D Spratling. He has been appointed, i chairman of the association’s medical 1 examination committee and more com plete statistics on the various ela-ses of I risks will be compiled by this depart ment. Wary of Policies For Husbands. "While not all of the confreres agreed ' with me." says Dr. Spratling. “my con clusion is that a woman is a very good moral risk, especially when she Insures .- her life for her minor "Do you know that life insurance ' companies gu very slow in insuring a 1 woman when the application is taken 1 out with her husband as the benefi- 1 clary? It may be a startling thing, but 1 numbers of men will insure their wives '• when they see them bi gin to get in bad , health. So when the application of the I woman stat, s that the policy is to be made out in favor of her husband un make a very careful examination be fore we accept her." , In dis, iis-ing the vat ious risks amo»g , women, the conclusion was reached i that the milliner Is the best risk among 1 women applicants and the rich married 1 woman, especially during the first five ] years of her married life, the very poorest, except for factory hands, house i servants and the povei ty-stricken hou.s, i wives of the large cities. "The work of a mtlllne- is among ’ pleasant surroundings, her hours aie regular, and then there is enough art in her work to keep her in the right, frame of mind," is D-. Spratling’s explanation of this conclusion. Chorus Girl Bad Risk. "Lift can not be long if it is sordid J in thought or surroundings, and th- ) art in the milliner's work keeps her in- i terest going, but it isn’t enough to giv her temperament, which usually means ’nerv.-s' ami a desire fu. late hours and high living. "I neglected to mention two other <>< -libations in which tin women iank as exceedingly pool- risks. ;-nd they ar the trained nurse and the chorus girl. The chorus girl, of course, lives to ex cess; the <-ats too much lobster ami drinks ton much wine and keeps worse hours than the woman in high - urii-iy, and then doesn't sleep as much. "The occupation of a trained nuisc is on< of the most dangerous there is so a woman, on account of the long houi the mental worry, tin- unhealthful sui toundings and the hai 1 phy.-i -a! work Women of Middle Classes Good. Psychqlogii-al and physical qu I lions enter Into the discussion of wha' i is tiie best risk in insurance. Th* ' woman who is ;lii head of a family in the middle classes usu.ill- feels certain licit her children will have enough to -at and tint her husband's salary is baying the rent and leaving a little io lie put aside for a rainy dy She may have to do the house work and cooking, but she hasn’t enough money to allow her to ’do society,' and as a r» suit tic: 1 life is lengthen, d. Her amusements ar, simple and not too many, and tin- loving can- of her children and simple joy- with them keep her thoughts fresh and pur,-. A.fti-r five years of married life this so; t of n ' woman is regarded as a very good risk in the lower classes where the smuggle for if.- is constantly before her mind and when- often hei food is insufficient and sue do .n't get the medical attention she ought to have, the married woman is a very pool- risk and we hesitate to tai-., her: in fact, very f. w of tliis class apply for insur ance."
