Smithsonian
Institution Has
Housing Shortage
WASHINGTON The housing
shortage has hit the Smithson
ian Institution. They're looking
for a place where Mrs. Jonathan
Edwards can show off her wed
ding dress. Mrs. Edwards was
the former Sarah Pierrepont and
' wife of the American theologian
who was one of Princeton Lint-
. versity'i early presidents.
. It's mighty crowded in the
period costume hall. All the
White House hostesses from Mar
tha Washington up through Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt -are stand
ing around in air-conditioned
glass cases exhibiting their in
augural gowns and such. And
scores of other historic ladies
are displaying historic gowns of
past periods in glass cases along
the walls. The ladies will either
have to move over or one of
them will have to take a tem
porary vacation so Mrs. Edwards
can have her day. The Smithson
ian received the dress In May
and still has no niche in which
a figure can be stood to dis
play it.
Which of the ladies will be
called upon to give will be kept
a deep secret by museum of II
cials. They don't exactly relish
the avalanche of protests they
expect will be heaped on their
heads by descendants and mends
of the displaced woman. Mrs.
Edwards' wedding dress dates
back to 1727. Though it is one
of the oldest dresses received by
the Smithsonian for exhibition it
is in unusually fine condition.
The gown was presented to the
Smithsonian by Mrs. H. C. Mil
ler of Youngstown, O., a direct
descendant of the Edwards.
It is fashioned of soft Jade
green satin brocaded in dainty
flowers of salmon pink, bur
gundy, dark blue and beige color
ing. It has a full skirt, low-cut
bodice and three-quarter sleeves.
There are five or six dresses
of the same general type on "dis
play In the period costume hall.
From 1610 until after the Revo
lution women's styles showed lit
tle variation. Women were buried
In the same dress they were mar
ried in, and if they weren't buried
in it, they usually willed it to
a daughter or some other fe
male relative.
Mrs. Edwards' wedding gown
was later worn by her daughter,
Mary Edwards Dwight, in the
Revolutionary era. Sarah Pierre
pont, a daughter of one of the
founders of Yale University, was
only 17 when she married Jona
than Edwards. The history books
tell you she was a girl who
"combined piety with a bright,
cheerful disposition" and that she
- "proved a devoted wife, an effi
cient housekeeper and the faith
ful mother of 12 children."

Less of National
Income How Goes
In Life Insurance
While aggregate life insurance
and annuity premiums in the
United States are today run
ning about six per cent ahead
of last year and sixty-five per
cent more than In per-war 41,
they now represent a smaller por
tion of national income than they
did prior to the war, the Insti
tute of Life Insurance reports.
Premium payments are expect
ed to be about $6,750,000,000 In
1948 compared with $6,250,000,000
in 1947 and S4,onij,uoo.ooo in 1941.
They were $3,350,00,000 In 199.
The 1948 estimate rcpesents an
average of $90 per policyholder.
The current premiums are the
equivalent of Just over three per
cent of total national Income
in the U. S. while in 1941 they
were almost four per cent and
In the '30s were an even hither
percentage. The average lor 1930-
39 was six per cent.
"Although American families
have increased their purchase of
new life Insurance at a record
pace since the end of the war
and maintained their old life
insurance at a rate rarely ex
celled at any time prior to the
war, the institute commented,
"they are actually putting a
smaller portion of their income
into life insurance than they did
before the war.
"Life insurance premium pay
ments will this year be Just about
twice the 1929 total. Kor this
