Representing her entire chance at one hundred at certain points of her progress in time, it is found to be in the following ratio: Between the ages of 15 and 20 years 14-1/2 percent Between the ages of 20 and 25 years 52 per cent Between the ages of 25 and 30 years 18 per cent Between the ages of 30 and 35 years 15-1/2 per cent Between the ages of 35 and 40 years 3-3/4 per cent Between the ages of 40 and 45 years 2-1/2 per cent Between the ages of 45 and 50 years 3/4 of 1 percent Between the ages of 50 and 56 years 1/8 of 1 per cent After sixty it is one-tenth of one per cent, or one chance in a thousand.
