June Has Lost Rank as
Popular Marriage Month

June, long considered the brides
month, isn't in the running with
July, August and September, the
registrar generals statistical review
of England and Wales indicates,
writes a correspondent in the Wash
ington Post. More people get mar
ried in the third quarter of the year
than at any other time, the review
shows. This has been the case ever
since the beginning Of the Twentieth
century.
Even before the turn of the CEN
fury June was not as great a favor
lite of brides as had been supposed.
In the years preceding the dawn of
1900 the most popular months for
weddings were October, November
and December. At least, this was
true in England and Wales.
Although the number of marriages
is gradually mounting, the birth rate
is steadily dropping, according to the
statistical review. In 1888 the birth
rate was only 14.4 per thousand pop
ulation, the lowest recorded for Eng
land and Wales.
