Our Girls Have 1900 Chances to Wed.

Professor d. X. McAnally, in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. has a
most interesting article on 1.-THE Ameri.
can Girls Chances of Marriage" In q
carefully compiled paper he shows how
age affects the American girls chances
how they are affected by business condi
tions and war, in which States hel
chances are best, in which worst, the in
fluence OF education on matrimony, mar.
riages in the country, etc. This writer
asserts that the American girls chances
of securing a husband are considerably
better than the European girls, for the
reason that there are but 965 women to
every 1000 men in the United States,
while in the countries of the old world
there are more women than men.
