GIVEN OVER T0 DOMESTICITY. Bociety People Take a Brief Rest from the Mad Whirl, OLARISSA'S FRIEND WRITES OF IT. The Few Brilliantly Enlivening Fea- tures of an Otherwise Dull Week—Coming Events— Gossip. My dear Clarissa: Owing to & cold wind, Qull, lowering skies or a spring-time-palling of the fascinations of gaiety on the jaded sense of socicty, bits of news are as scarce as black butterflics among the angels, If you will believe me, the past seven days have been wi nigh given over to domesticity, the dull ve: ns of the annual May flittings, and a monstrous effort to ttansform cooking to a fascination and a charm. All these have absorbed a generous half of the social world about me. To be sure, there have been bits of blue in the oth- erwise gray '8, an occasional entertain- ment to lend th h is the spice of life, and they n of such o nature as to render reminiscences tremendously worth while, On Thursday evening some charming tableaux, together with *Woodeock’s Little Game," 4 clever English comedy with a de- ci er cast, were admirably presented at the Armory for the benefit of the City mis- sion.

Frank Leslie’s Newspaper: I am in receipt of letters every day asking me to tell the difference between an assessment and an old-line insurance company. The difference between the two are so radi- al that I had supposed every intelligent reader comprehended them.” An ass ment company proposes simply to insure one’s life and to require him to pay what that life insurance costs. The-old line companies propose not only to insure one’s life, but to give secutity for the insurance by establishing and maintain- ing a large reserve surplus fu-d, som what afi the style of the bunk r serves, sufficient tomeet any emergency. The strongest ment companies are themselves beginning to maintain a r serve, and some of the largest ones h a considerable reserve fund, but none of them has anything that approaches the enormous accumulation n} some of the most suceessful old-line companics, Naturally enough these accumulations have drawn some of the old-line com- panies into other branches of business that should never be connected with 1i insurance, They do what assessment companies are not prepared to do—is endowment policic hich a man may insure himsell for a limited number of years, and at the expiration of that time receive the amount of his policy without, as some one has said, having to die to win the game. It is a very easy and simple thing to stavt an assessment or benevolent insurance company, and as these companies usually have officers who receive comfortable salarics, many men who have learncd a little something about the insurance business by serving in subordinate capacities evolve a plan by which they organize a fraternal order essment society, with a high sound- ing name, and proceed to gather in the shekels, The difficulty with this hun- lies in the fact tliat the public few opportunities to inquire into the character of managers or promote Matters will go on swimmingly with an assessment company just so long as new blood comes in, but unless it is man- »d with great care and cons tism, s soon as death losses begin to ac- cumulate after a lapso of a few years, the agsessments begin to be so heavy that e who are in wish to get out and © who are out decline to come in, This leads to one inevitable result—the gradual shrinkage in the membership of the company at a constantly accelerat- ing rato until nothing is left of it ex cepting its liabilitles, with little or no assets to meet them, 1 do not wish to the slightest degree sessment or fraternal of them are strong.

This samo scrutiny does not extend to the ussess- ment companies, however. Almost any one can sturt an assessment organization, and if he can find fools enough to come inand join with him he ean strugele along for a few years. The more plaus- ible the sclieme of assessment presented to a man, the more ful he should be to serutinize it and to inquire into thoso who are behind it. It may be set down as a certain fact that no'company, whether assessment or old-line, can afford to offer to give a man life insurance and give him interest on his money s an investment besides. This cannot be done, If a man wants to insure his life and also to invest his money, he must pay a good round solid sum for it. o will alw have to pay for the element of security, and insur- ance without urity is little less than trying a chanco in a lottery or betting on u horse race., Nszrafi_fl Opei"a ]fansé APOLLO CLUB, Wednesday, May 14th.
