9. Dan Cupid'a hand haa lost its cunning. The love darts of the famous match-maker are falling short of tbelr mark. Such are the deductions to be taken from the marriage statistics for 1922, as announced today by E. Ross, head of the bureau of vital statistics of the state board of health.

The estimated total of marriages fur the year just ended is 46,041, while in 1921 a total of 46,772 marriages were recorded. This reports a decrease in the total number of marriages of ,731. If the increase In population should be taken into consideration, the waning popularity of the marriage mart would be even more marked. From another startling turn which the game of matrimony has taken it appears that divorced women often prefer to make their second venture With divorced men. More than thirty-one per cent of the divorced women who remarried laut year picked men chose first search for matrimonial blisa had failed.

Widows, however, do not longer turn to widowers for love and solace. Only twenty-one per cent of the widows who married again during the year chose men who had lost their first mates by death.
