More bachelors are marrying widows, Recording to the annual report of the English Eegistrar-General for 1917, j list", issued. 1 Tho proportion -of bachelor-to.-spinster marriages has shown a 6harp decline. . "It looks as if the increase in the mar- ! riageo of widows is not wholly .duo to j the war," says tho Registrar-General, ! "and as if the increased tendency to le- {.- marriage shown by widows before tho I war has now extended to widowers. An appreciable increase in the number of ! widowers marrying has occurred since i 1913. One curious fact, the Eegistrar-General i. says, is that between the ages of 15 and | the ratios of male to female deaths ■ "have risen so greatly that they are now I wholly abnormal, the mortality of males 1 Iwing more than double that of females, i The death figures are those of civilians !• onlv." The increase of venereal disease j * is disquieting. Tho total deaths from ■ this cause among civilians was 2127.
