hat no official can be sworn IN until
after the expiration OF thirty days from

Blanchard says he can. So what are

THE INTERNATIONAL MAR
RAGE.

The Commoner: A British peer re-
Gently married the daughter of an
American millionaire, having settled up
on himself an income of 100000 a year
by the father Of his wife. He conferred
upon the American girl his title and the
right to wear the family jewels. A few
years have passed and the couple have
signed articles of separation, divorce
proceedings having been avoided, 1t IS
said, by intercession of King Edward.
The British peer retains his income OF
100, 900 American dollars, and the Aife
retains the title she bought and the right
to wear the family jewels. This is sam
pie Of international commerce" that
does not commend itself to those old
fashioned people who believe that mar
rage should be the result of'love, not of
barter and sale
