Married People Grow to Look Alike.

It’s not to be wondered at that people who spend all their lives together should often get to think alike. What is wonderful, however, is that they should look alike. Yet it is an incontestable fact that nearly all married couples in their old age bear a strong resemblance to each other. According to a Well-known photographer, who has bad extensive opportunities of studying the expressions of various people at different ages, after 30 years of wedded life 90 per cent of married couples begin to bear a marked likeness to each other, and In every case It is the wife who grows like the husband, and not the husband like the wife. All doctors are aware of this phenomenon, but none have hitherto succeeded in giving a scientific explanation of it.
