MARRYING Men. ~ Having once
tasted the sweets OF married life, mel
cannot. it seems. remain single. 1t APP
pears that OF 1000 single men of from
twenty-five to thirty-five years Of age,
10 or 10 marry each year. On the
other hand, the corresponding number
Tor WldOwerS IS 800, or three times as
many. At other ages the diffe: ence Is
still greater. WidQWers marry four
times more than bachelors OF the same
age. and III the case Of young men
ltwenty-one and UNDER the numbers
are $50 and ! respectively. In the case
OF females, NJ. Bertillon twl o has pro-
duced tolios Of figures obtains similar
results. though less decided. From
twenty-five to thirty years Of age, when
Dutch girls marry most widows are
found to marry about twice as much,
hhi a corresponding difference appears
throughout similarly in Switzerland and
England. There ore two exec ptions to
his rule, however. In Berlin widows
past thirty marry almost exactly in the
same proportion as spinsters. and in
iran they marry a llttic less. The
state OF young widowhood seems TO press
the same everywhere. Is the state of
things III France. then. to be explained
by saying that French husbands ~

believe, says VI. Rertillon. that they
are, on the contrary. too good. and thar
they leave widows absolutely neon
