Then why shouldn't it be pessible to insure oneself—or insure two / selves made one—against divorce? If, in addition to doing that, the insurance companies could somehow put a premium on happy and Permanent matrimony, surely they would deserve the gratitude, and the semi-annual payments, of every husband and wife. Tt hasn't happened yet. But, as Hamlet remarked, ‘if it be not now, then ‘tis to come.” For sincé the mere whimsical suggestion of divorce insurance was put forward a few days ago in the Insurance Press, in- surance men all over New York have been talking about it and members of the dear married or about-to-be-married public have> been writing, telegraphing and telephoning to know where such insurance may be obtained. eee eee «#8 . So I went to the editor of the Insurance Press, Franklin Webster, to canvass all the possibilities of the situation. “Is divorce insurance practical?" I inquired. How would an anti-divorce policy be written? What would be the rates? I should think they would have to differ with localities, and I am sure they would be positively prohibitive in Reno, Wouldn't tn- surance against divorce solve the vexed problem of alimony?” But white-haired, courteous Mr. Webster was smiling quizzically at my enthusiasm, “‘When we put forward divorce insurance as a whimsical idea in the Insurance Press,’ he said, ‘‘we had no idea of the amount of in- terest it would arouse. But I am bound to admit that such interest seems to be widespread, both in insurante circles and on the part of the public—and I have heard that it runs particularly high in the vicinity “Or, rather, isn’t it? speed of 25 miles er hour, mate cost $7,500. partment Manhattan, one high-pow condemned.

If elther of the pair is not in condition to pass the insurance company’s doctors, he or she is not fit to be a husband or a wife" “Wouldn't a clause giving divorce damages eliminate the alimony tangle?” I suggested. The editor of the Insurance Press said that it {s a question whether the law would take a private agreement between two persons as a sub- stitute for its own provisions. But he agreed with me that divorce insurance would give at least some protection to the wife with little children, whose divorced husband skips out and leaves her to whistle for her alimony. * 8 eee * 8 “We all know,” I observed, “‘how adroit and persistent insuranbe-. agents are.
