PARIS. April 25.-(New York World Ca
blegram-speeial Telegram.)-The French
press points out that English customs are
getting more and more a hold IN France.
In England 1t is common for a husband,
deceived by his wife, TO sue the despoiIer
Of his home for damages, which he gets
without difhculty. In France EIch cases
are rare, but one was decided yesterday In
a Paris court. Yvonne Quimbre sued her
husband and his close friend, Alice Landau
and though the offenders were condemned
under a penal law, Yvonne insisted on
pecuniary consolation. as their association
had been in the eOnjugal abode. The court
fined the husband $40 and the woman s.
and ordered them Jointly TO pay 5000 dam
ages. Such an award Is regarded as un-
warranted and a dangerous precedent by
susceptible spouses through Paris.
