May Marriages,

It is usually supposed that May is an
unpropitious month for marriages, and
this view is generally sustained by the of
fetal figures. In Great Britain, where the
figures are carefully kept, of 1900 mar
riages in a year the even average per
month would be 100. Instead of this
June, the favorite month for marriages,
stands at the head with ia. January
comes next with 100, December with 1870,
July with 1874, November with ia, and
SO on down to February with 70, May
bringing up the real with 40. In Germany
April is the favorite month, and October
comes second. In Hungary February is
the fayorite month, and November comes
second. In Greece October comes first,
January second; in Italy February first,
November second; in France April first
and January second; in Sweden Novem-
Der first, December second.
In Russia the curious fact is noted that
two months-March and November, CORE
spending to our Easter time and Christ.
mas-are practically barred from mar
riages, these being the average figures on
the basis Of l, 200 in a year: February, 27O;
January, $50; October, 1856; November,
174; March, ~; December, 8. The aver
age duration of marriages is highest in
Russia, 80 years, and least in Holland, 50
years. The average marrying age of wom~
en- in Russia is 81 years, and in Holland
90 years, which accounts for this differ.
