The favorite ages within these limits are eighteen and twenty. Thereare 24.- 000 more misses of eighteen than there are boys of that age. and the young ladies twenty years masculine companions by 54,000. At twenty-four and twenty-live the num- bers of the two sexes are nearly equal. Then the women begin to grow less with great rapidity. The most unpop- ular ages are thirty and forty. At the former ago there is a dierence of 18,- 000 between the two sexes; at the latter 83,000. V One peculiar circumstance is that there are more women twenty years old than there are girls of thirteen or fourteen or any age up to twenty. This fact `conclusively demonstrates that tweaty_ is a very healthful age. But if the younger ages are unhealthy. where did the increased number who are twenty years old come from? No women are born that old. . Only an unusually elastie theory can accountslfor these peculiarities with be- coming gallantry to the lovelier sex.- J. .8.
