 It will be observed that the two years run we'll together, last year exceeding the previous year by only 62. In fact, there is but little difference in the number by months. October of both years is the same. The fall months seem to be the most popular. The greatest disparity is between December. The largest propor- ton is between October, 1895, and the same month of 1896 This indicates that we had good times in that period. Since October of 1896 the number issued has dropped below the average And last year was Leap Year, too! The small in- crease over 1895 indicates that the girls have taken some advantage of their priv ilege, but not to the extent expected. The falling off in the last two months of the year indicates that the girls haze wear jed in we'll doing--but perhaps they have become engaged in those months, the marriages to be consummated this year.
