Fig. 174. — Clipping from a Brooklyn (N. Y.) newspaper, spring of 1911,

 In the case of recent immigrants this frequently impUes that the pair have 

 come from the same home village and are, very likely, somewhat closely re-

first has an exactly opposite effect. The marriage Hcenses 

 of a large city frequently show bride and groom from the 

 same house — this means frequently, if not usually, that 

 they speak the same dialect, come, very likely, from the 

 same town in the old country, and are probably cousins of 

 some degree (Fig. 174). Even in the well-established popu- 

 lations a barrier of language may cause segregative mar- 

 riage selection and, if the population is small, lead to con- 

 sanguinity. Thus at Miscou Island part of the population 

 speaks French and part English and this intensifies the 

 liability to consanguineous marriage.
