CUPID'S RECORD
FOR THE MONTH
Interesting Statistics Show That
Ha Had Big Lead Over
Divorce Courts.
AVERAGE OF BRIDES
ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE
Three Admit They Are Nearly
Sixty and Three Crooma
Made Same Confeaaion.
In ths bonk of official truth It la
fcund that tha average of all woman
married In tha month of November la
nearly It yarn, and that of tha man 30
years Besides the old family Bible
and the Indlvlduala themselves, tha
marriage license record la tha only au
thentic source from which thla Infor
mation can be obtained, and of tha 111
women whoae names appear therein
rloaely below thoae of the men of their
choice, none should feel grieved at tha
average, for had It not bean for the half
dostn women past 40 who Jumped Into
the matrimonii aea In November tha
average would have been nearer "aweet
sixteen," for many there ware who had
to hav their parents' consent.
Cupid, who did such a rushing bUBi
nasa in November, gained a good lead
over the divorce courts, who attempt to
undo his work. The number of mar
riages shown by tha book Is 111, while
the best the divorce court could d was
21 separatlona. The marriage license
record averages 4H licensee each day,
while only two thifda of a divorce waa
granted each dsy of tha' month. This
thorn conclusively that marriage Is far
more popular than divorce, although It
stands beyond dispute, according to tha
records, thst thers Is more monay In di
vorce than marriage, but thla la prob
ably for the reason that In getting mar
ried one doean't have to list his prop
erty, while In the divorce court one
does.
The youngest hrlds or tn. montn waa
16 years old, while the eldest, no doubt
reluctantly or It might have been en
tirely without bar knowledge or consent
was scheduled at II years. The young-
eat grooms, for there were two of them,
both requiring their parents' consent,
war each 20 years old, and tha oldest
admitted to It years
Only three marriages were recorded
where the brides ware uader II years
of age. However, there were 20 brldea
under 21 years. II between 10 and 10
years, II between 10 and 40 years, two
between 40 and 10 years, and three be
tween SO and II years. a
Tha grooms' ages ranged a little high
er. There was none under 20 years;
14 between 20 and 20 yearn, 10 between
20 and 41 years, seven between 40 and
60 years, one between 10 and 10 years,
and three over II years.
There are soma pecuHaritlss In tha
marriage license book regarding ages.
Four tnatancee are recorded In which the
bride waa older than the groom, while
In eleven cases tha agea were equal. In
four Instances the man waa exactly
twios as old as his bride, one case bsthg
II and II years. A couple, almost equal
In age wars 15 and 61 years old.
Many there were who asked that the
record of the Issuing of the license be
hidden away from the newspaper re
porters; modesty forbade Its publica
tion. To these requests the county clerk
could only say that all he could do Would
be to ask that It be not published, as
the records were public, scordlngly there
are nine Instances in which tha gentle
request, "Please don't publish." Is writ
ten serosa tha taoe of the affidavit.
The marriage record clerk remembers
only one Instance In the month of No
vember where the bride appeared In

riage license, and she asked how many
reporters called for the record. When
