Our correspondents achievement Is
heroic. But she will probably not be
astonished to find, in spite of the OBJ
vious surprise Of her question, that
she has very few competitors in Eng
land.
The lady was married at fifteen.
Now. In all England at the time OF
the last census there were only thirty
wives of that age. This is not conclu-
sive. of course. If the census were
taken annually, 1t might show thirty
wives at the age of fifteen every
year.
Against that, however, is to be set
the extreme improbability OF juvenile
marriage extending to the second gen.
Grafton. 1t no more follows that the
daughter of q girl of seventeen will
herself be a mother at seventeen
than it follows that the first born OF
q woman of forty will not be a mother
until she is forty herself.
Such records as that of the lady
in the vicinity of Brighton are more
common in countries like Australia,
where young girls mature into women
while still very young. In India a
woman who was not Grandmother
until she was thirty-six would be re-
garded as an eccentricity. Two in
every five of the female population
of India are married before they are
