That expécta- Hon is now increased to fifty-two years, Even up to thirty the @hance of further life has improved. _ But from forty on adults die more rapidly.

She must suppresa her likes and dislikes, her whims and ailments.” : ‘The author has a special word for the plain girl. “There are more plain women than pretty ones in the world and more married than unmarried women. Given @ healthy appearance, lack of beauty is no bar whatever to matrimony. When it comes to choosing a partner for life, the sensible, unromantic, modern ‘man rightly values good temper above long eyelashes.” The Strange Lure of Mystery.
