Linda had dressed early that aft

after a time, said little about the
party, Ned knew that this did not

matters. He had not been surprised
when Linda failed to appear for
dinner. And Il father was furious,
he was not surprised at that eth

understanding Linda, but he didn't.
The fact was, there was only one
grave difference between the broth

Wedding Bells
Slowing Down

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL Up -
Wedding bells rang overtime in
the last four years.
But with millions Of Young bach
elors now overseas, marriages are
declining. Next year he marriage
rate is expected to be below nor
NAL, and it probably will stay there
until most of our troops are back.
That's the picture given today
by the census bureau. Here are
the figures:
From 1910 through 1913, there
were $4,000 marriages.
On the basis Of the average rate
for the 20 years before 1910, the
normal number would have beer
5,461 1000.
That made a surplus OF 1,119,.
600. The census bureau says it was
caused by:
!. Better economic conditions.
2. Wartime psychology.
The marriage rate for 1912 was
the highest on record, 1871 mar
riages per 1000 population. There
we're 1,758,0O0 marriages in that
year.
In 1913 and 1914, marriages have
fallen off but it's only surprising
that they haven't fallen faster II
1943 there were 1,577, 900 ma,ri.
ages. If the rest of 1914 is like
the first eight months, there VIII
be 1,445,O 1000 this year
After World War I there was {
great marriage boom in 1920.
There should be another boom
after World War II, the bureau
says. But there are some differ
ences. Since we've had more War
time marriages this time and have
built up SURPLUS we will have
smaller backlog of single peo
pie.
Also the boom may be divided
into two parts, the first after the
end of the European war and the
second when the Pacific phase i;
