economic matter, rather than So
clal or an ethical one, is emphasized
by some statistics compiled from the
social registerers Of a dozen cities.
These figures show that among the
people of whom those publications
keep track there were 1O1 fewer mar
riages this year than last in the city
of New York and 154 fewer in all Of
the cities. The loss Is 20 per cent. in
New York and per cent for the
cities as a whole.
These figures have a curious cor
respondence to some financial statis-
ties. The pannic near the close Of last
year began In New York and It's ef-
fects were much more severely felt
here than in cities farther west The
slump was also sometimes described
as "a rich mans panic" The social
registers record statistics of those
socially prominent, and social promi-
nence implies large income The
rich, being compelled to retrench
their expenses, more Of the young
people refralned from marriage.
That same tendency is clearly seen
all through the social scale since hard
times came in. Bad times always
means a decrease Of marriage and an
increase of substitution for IT, or
course the birth rate drops. And the
cure. like the disease, is economic.
