FRENCH DIVORCES.
Something More Than the Decree Of
Court Necessary.

Something More Than the Decree OF .
Court Necessary.
One of the peculiarities Of the new
divorce law is that the bonds of we'd
lock are not completely severed even
when the court has granted the divorce.
To be entirely rid of his or her chains
the party in whose favor the divorce is
pronounced is required, within the
period of two months, to cite the other
one before the same official who per-
formed the civil marriage between
them. Attendance, of course, is not
compulsory, but in most cases the
citation is obeyed, and monsieur and
madame appear once more before Mon
sieur le Marie in the same Sale des
Marriages where they were once pro-
nounced an nom de la l0i man and
wife. 1t is not unusual nowadays to
witness at the large Partisan mairies
wedding and divorce parties at the
same time, each waiting their turn. and
sometimes there are two or three Of
each. The former are always in full
dress, the brides in white and
with orange blossoms in their
hair, and everybody is evidently
bent on having a good time-the
word noce in French is synonymous for
q wedding and spree. The divorces"
also make it point to put on their best
clothes on such an occasion, but black
is de rigestr for the lady, and the ex-
husband eschews white gloves. Each
comes accompanied by two temoins and
their friends and relations. But it il
not good form to laugh or cut jokes.
And they divide into two groups which
take places as far apart as possible at
opposite ends of the room. After few
minutes of waiting, during which the
divorces" remain lugubriously silent,
Monsieur lie Marie makes his appear
ance. He wears a tri-colored scarf.
with tassels around his waist, and the
usher shouts out, "Stand upr' an order
which all obey. The Mayor takes up
his stand behind long, green table
and begins with the marriages. These
do not take long, and then comes the
turn of the divorces. The party
draw up in line in front of the table, the
four witnesses in the middle, the wife
to the right and the husband 70 the left
of the line. The clerk reads the decree
of the court as rapidly as he possibly
can, and then takes up collection, just
as he had previously done in the mar
riages, for the poor of the ward" This
done, the Mayor says: I'm the name of
the law we declare your marriage dis
solved by reason of the divorce pro-
nounced between YOU" This ends the
comedy, and after exchanging ceremo-
NOUS bows each go their own way,
accompanied by their friends. -Paris
