Nd, WEDDINGS
LESS IN 1925
Cupid's Arrows Less Potent,
Survey Shows-Divorces In
crease 10 Per Cent

Washington, Nov. 8.-Cupid's ar.
rows were dull in North Dakota last
year.
A decrease Of sc Ter cen. in the
number of marriages performed in
North Dakota during 1926 was re.
ported today by the United States
Department Of Commerce
In line with the provert that ''as
one Dakota goes, so goes he other"
South Dakota also showed q de-
crease of SO per cent.
Divorce Ratio Increases
While Cupid's arrows were dulled,
the divorce ratio increased in North
Dakota, with a 10 per cent gain. In
this case South Dakota went the
other way, with a 14.9 per cent de-
crease.
The marriage total for North Da-
kota IN 1926 was 1888 and in 1925,
4.377. The divorce total for 1896
was 483, as compared to 439 in 1925.
According to the returns received,
there were 1,02O,079 marriages per-
formed in the United States during
the year 1926, as compartd with
1,183,334 in 1926. These figures
represent an increase Of 13,745 mar
riages, or 1.2 per cent. The relative
increase was somewhat less than
the estimated incre: e in the popu-
latior which amounte.. to Is rer
cent.
During the year 1926 there were
18O,86S divorces granted in the
United States, as compared with
1854 in 1925, representing an in
crease of 5,419, or 81 per cent.
There were 1898 marriages an
nulled in 1926, this being the first
year for which statistics Of annul-
1nents were collected.
Population Is Larger
The estimated population Of the
United States on July 1, 1926, was
117.136,00O, and on July /. 1925,
115,378,0O0. On the basis Of these
estimates the number { marriages
per 1000 of population was 1926
in 1926, as against 1890 in 1925;
and the number Of divorces per 1000
Of the population was 1.54 in 1926,
as against 1.52 in 1925.
While the net increase in the num-
Der Of marriages performed in the
country as a whole was only 1.2 per
cent, the relative change in the diff
ferent states rang ID from decrease
of Ia per cent in Michigan (result-
ing mainly from the passage in 1925
Of a lew requiring application for
marriage licenses 5 days in advance)
to an increase Of 1875 per cent in
Nebraska (resulting mainly from
the repeal of similar law.

The little dresmaker who came by
the day to help make the simpler sort
of frocks and to remodel frocks from
last season or the season before Is
rare bird indeed nowadays. Many
women who have confidence enough
in their own amateur dressmaking
abilities to make an occasional dress
at home lack the courage to make
ANYTHING over. They wear old frocks
as long as they are wearable in the
original guise and then pack them Off
to the next rummage sale.
Really it is worth while to learn
how to make over your own clothes
TO be able to do this frequently means
four evening frocks instead Of two.
or six possible afternoon frocks
instead of three.
But often there Is not enough good
material in the old frock to make
something new. Then new material
must be used to eke out. Usually
of course, it is impossible to match
the original fabric exactly. and rather
than use a near match it is wiser
to get material of an entirely different
color or shade and then frankly make
a bi-colored or composite frock.
Recently I saw a charming frock
made of two distinct colors. The ma
terial was joined together by means
of fagoting. If you are interested
in this problem of making your own
frocks at home. send me a stamped
self addressed envelope and will send
you a sketch Of the frock with dia-
gram and instructions for the fag
oting.
