The average man throws in his lot
with the benedicts soon after he has
turned 80. The average woman escapes
spinsterhood today at the age of nearly
o6. In other words. newly welded
couples are not as young as they used
to be. The age at which men and WON
en- stand before representative OF the
church or the city clerk and promise to
take each other "for better, for worse
and abide by the consequences has ad-
vanced.
Official figures that 60 back to the
time when New York City started to
keep a record of the age Of every man
and every woman applying for a mar
riage license show that the limit Of
bachelorhood and maidenhood has ad-
vanced by regular steps.
To ascertain the average age at which
a man and woman marry, official sta
tistics not providing this information,
the records of the marriage license bu-
reau, the first date Of which is January.
1908, were carefully examined. The
ages of three hundred men and the
three hundred women to whom they
were joined in matrimony were taken,
and from these figures an average was
struck. This average, representing the
marrying age thirteen years ago. is
p 1-5 years for the men and p 40
years for the women.
Figures taken from the official rec
ords for January, 1911, ten years ago
show decided advance in the average.
AS in the first instance. the ages of
three hundred men and the ages of the
women to whom they were married
were used in arriving at the average
which is 2S12 for men and "a 1-3 for
women.
Between 1911 and the present year
came the draft. which gave an added in
centive to marrying. The figures from
the official books for the two most i'm
portant periods Of the draft, August
1917, when the first governmental Sc
lection of men to bear arms in the
world war was made, and in January,
1913, when the second call came. are
interesting. They do not reduce the
average, as one might expect. from the
great number of boys ~, 20 and q
years of age who married in those pc
RODS. On the contrary, they show that
the age of bachelorhood and spinster-
hood continued to advance The num-
Der of young girls and young men mar
rying then was offset, so far as the
average is concerned, BY an unusual
group of applicants in the fifties or the
sixties.
There is no accounting for this. Even
the New York city clerk himself had no
explanation, although he finally sng-
gested that man Of sixty married a
