General Health. 

 In the first place, they are apparently more 

 vigorous and healthy ; indeed, they seem to be 

 remarkably free from sickness. 



Marriage. 

 They have not only married in greater percentage 

 but at an earlier age. " The short-fingered members 

 of the family always get married first." Why this is 

 so I cannot tell, for they are certainly not so good- 

 looking, but, as before remarked, they are more 

 robust. 



There are fourteen marriageable normals still single ; 

 there is only one such amongst the abnormals, and 

 she has been " engaged " for some considerable time. 

 It is her fiance's fault that she is not yet married.
