NEW MARRIAGE
RULES FOR
RUSSIA
Emperor Lets Down the
Barriers That Lovers May
Wed.
NEW POLYGAMY LAW
FORMALLY ADOPTED

/ St Petersburg, Russia, Sept. 23.-The
/ marriage regulations governing the
members of the imperial family have
J been changed in an important particu-
/ lar by a recent imperial decree. Hither-
Z to the statute concerning the imperial
family incorporated in the fundamental
laws prohibited members Of that fam
lly from marrying any but persons be
longing TO ruling or sovereign house.
The only escape from this rule was in
having recourse to q mOrganatic mar
rage, involving a permanent estrange-
ment from the imperial court
Liberty Is Granted.
The emperor has now lowered the
bars for the more remote issue OF en-
perors- Grand dukes and grand Ouch
esses only are henceforth prohibited
from marrying outside reigning houses.
As the grand duCaI title appertains only
to grandSons or granddaughter Of en-
perOrs, in the male line, and to daugh-
ters only, in the female line, and not
beyond, princes of the imperial blood,
as the more remote issue is called, gain
liberty of marriage.
It is thought that the immediate oc-
casiOn which led to this change was
the case Of princess Tatiana Constan-
tlnoTna, daughter OF grand duke Con-
stantinovich, and sister Of prince John,
who recently married princess Helene

The regulation coat sleeve is being

gowns. This does not mean that the
klmona sleeve effect is not popular,
but simply that the coat sleeve will
be used much more extensively than
during the winter. The full length
sleeves will fit fairly close to the
upper arm and many of them have a
draped fullness at the wrist. This
fullness is not gathered into a wrist

LOOSE COAT FOR EVENING

The long coat with the straight
lines is the popular evening garment
at present. These lines are very be

The sleeves are cut in one with the
coat so that its making is a very
easy matter. The heavier coats are
made of velvet with the collar coats
and cuffs of lace or fur, while the
lighter evening wraps may be made
of simple broadcloth with collar and
cuffs of brocaded velvet or with trim
ming bands of fur
