Mournina for Divorces.

From the New York American.
Divorces are becoming SO frequen
that it will soon be necessary to draw
up an entirely new code of the rules
OF etiquette in connection Herewith.
Thus just at present people are dis
cussing the extent to which the death
of a divorced husband should be no.
ticed by his former wife. There seems
TO be a pretty general consensus OF
opinion that the touch Of purple which
Mrs. Travers has impaired either to
her hats or TO her gowns, or to both,
since the beginning of the season, con-
stitutes all that is necessary in the
way of a tribute to the man whose
name she continues to bear. and who
met with such a tragic end last fall.
Purple is one of the mourning COlors.
1t constitutes the expression OF a grief
less intense than that implied by black.
Widows weeds would be obviously out
Of place on the part OF a diyorcee, in
the event of the demise Of her former
husband. But society has come 10 the
conclusion thu. If the dame still CON
tiHuss 10 bear the name of her former
husband after the dissolution Of the
union. some oxen OF respect becomes
necessary in the event Of his death.
Thus. though everybody sympathized
with the elder Mrs. Pierre LoriIlard In
connection with the treatment to which
she was subjected by her husband. and
which was sufficient to excite her Bit
terest Indignation, yet il is said the
fashionable set of New York has never
to this day quite forgiven her for her
refusal TO take any notice whatsoever
of his demise. and for her action in Civ
ing within a fortnight afteFward a
grand ball at Sherry's. for the debut
of her fascinating niece, Miss Emily
Stuart Taylor. who, as Mrs. Ernest
Wiltsee is now developing into one of
the most brilliant and popular matrons
of New York society.
In Paris they have these matters
much more c~reditably arranged, and
have even got to the point of sending
out divorce cards in the same way as
wedding cards over there but few d.
vorces are recorded In the press and
the consequence is that IL is impossible
to keep track of the marriages which
have come to grief. unless cards are
received from those Of ones welded
friends and acquaintance who have
agreed to part company.
