Is Period of Indifference Inter-
veninE, Late Accounts Prove.

Paris, May 14-Women have not the
same ardent desire to marry again in
France. Before twenty and after thirty
they remarry as much as the demoiselles
OF their age, neither more nor less But
between twenty and thirty girls beat
them.
old statistics showed a higher proper
ton Of re-marriages of widows than
recent ones. Thus in the year Of this
present century already quoted, II was
established that out Of 1000 women less
than twenty years old who married.
thirty-seven were girls and thirty-eight
widows or divorced women.
The Ratio Above Twenty.
Between twenty and twenty-four the
relative figures were lH and eighty-six.
Between twenty-five and twenty-nine
they were 40 and ninety-eight From
thirty to thirty-four they stood at seven
ty-three and seventy respectively. Be
tween forty and forty-uine fifteen spins
ters and sixteen widows or divorced
women were united per 1000 in the bonds
Of wedlock, and of fifty Ind over the
number were equal, namely, two for each
set.
Even divorced men do not appear 10
be so disillusioned as might be imagined. 30
continues DR. Jacques Bertiilon. "As a
matter Of fact the statistics Of France
confound them with widowers" II is
not easy 20 form a precise estimate in
France. because they are often reluctant

taken.
Compared with the Men.
SO he turns 20 Swiss statistics. and
after quoting figures remarks that in that
country the women remain in widowhood
more often than the men DO. but not
nearly so much as French widows And
he concludes thus.
AS for the divorced persons Of both
sexes. their eagerncss TO marry again is
much more considerable. So those who
have tasted Of marriage can no longer
do without IL. The regret which IL has
left them is so deep that they hasten 10

At any rate. theirs is not case Of
