1Opinion of the Court
SANDERS, Justice.
The sole issue under review in this fire-insurance suit is whether the homeowner is entitled to penalties and attorney’s fees. We hold that she is not.
The plaintiff, Mildred Headrick, purchased a home in Mamou on May 24, 1967, for $27,500.00. Her mortgage note to St. Landry Homestead Association for the purchase price was endorsed by Joseph W. Fontenot. On November 27, 1967, she obtained a Homeowner’s Insurance policy, with coverage of $30,000.00 on the dwelling, $12,000.00 on the unscheduled personal property, $3000.00 for living expense, and $3000.00 for debris removal.
