An American Remarriage Table [Discussion]

The authors of this paper have given in general a clear and complete description of the thorough work done by the Society's Committee. On a few points, however, further comment seems appropriate. After carefully collecting and tabulating the material, the Committee prepared remarriage rates at each age by using a five year moving average. The rates so obtained are referred to both in the text and in the Exhibit headings as "ungraduated rates".
