lows long list of dates extending from
the years 1901 10 1906.
The text of the decree does not go into
the details of the countess bill of par
ticulars, inasmuch as Madame de Cas-
tellane submitted letters and docu-

of acts justifying a divorce, and as he
had failed to establish reconciliation
the petition of Madame dc Castellane is
granted.

The counts demand for an "alimen-
tary allowance of $4,000 annually" was
denied on the ground tl-at the guilty
party in divorce all the advantages ac-
corded either by a marriage contract
or the course of married life, and con-
sequently the court refused to allow not
only the counts original claim for $780,
900 per annum but the 100000 which the
countess offered and which it now
seems the count claimed to have ac-
cepted October 25.
The court also took a precaution
against any unreasonable attitude of
the count toward allowing his wife to
take her children out of France by pro-
viding that in case of his refusal jul
dicial authorization could be granted.
The decree orders the countess to send
the children on Thursdays and Sundays
to their grandmother, the Marquis de
Castellane, and their surrender to their
father for a week at New Years and
Easter and for a month jim the summer.
