so. And when His Grace arrived with
limited luggage. but a valet, society trip
ped over its toes to honor them with
functions.
The marriage took place February IT.
1t was solemnized in st. Thomas Episco-
pal Church. and was the first titled we'd
ding in the new church. The old one
that burned a while ago backgrounded
for the weddings OF Miss Consuelo Van
derbilt and the Duke of Marlborough
and Miss Goelet and the Duke OF Rox-
burghe.
For the Hanan occasion. society drag
ged final breath out Of the overworked
atmosphere and hied itself to the church.
Rev. DR.. Ernest NJ. Stires officiated. G.
Fara Forni, the italian Consul General,
was the bridegroom's principal attend

Gaetano de Laurenzano, uncle OF the
Duke. Among the ushers were Colonel

tended the bride. After the ceremony
the Hanans and Their Graces sailed for
a wedding trip to Paris.
It was the brilliant ending Of their
romance. But It was the ending For
there's no kind of romance in divorce.
Is the International Marriage really
becoming senile and de trop? Or is the
International Divorce one of those
things that the march Of time overtakes
once every while or so? Or did the cir
cumstances OF the .Hanan-DurazzO alli-
ance form such a combination that moth
ing else would have been possible?
The corners and byways Of Europe
run true to form for the settings of six
figure romances as they do for the
opening scenes of successful musical
comedies. There's something about the
way the wind blows in Naples that
generates gentle feelings, It's said, also
you can't comprehend Paris at all un-
less you're in love. AS for Venice-ah!
They say that even though you're so old
that you wear flowers punched in the

shoes - even though you're so old that

marriage makes her the subject OF his
own little country. and her fortune or a
part of it the rightful jingle for his
change pocket, and that If she doesn't
believe 1t he'll prove It!
Is International Divorce going to make
for complications between the United
States and other countries? Who can
say?
Now list to the tale:
His Grace, the Duke Don Arturo de
Majo Durazzo, of Italy, and Her Grace
the Duchess Elizabeth Frances Hanan de
Majo Durazzo Of New York wish to be
divorced.
That is, Her Grace. would like much
- oh, my, how much! - to resume a
single state and her maiden name. As
she is the sister of John H. Hanan, and
said to be possessed of very little less
coin than the millionaire shoe manufac-
turer himself, It looks very much as
though she might set up a holler for
what she'd like that would cause some
squawking from our pet Eagle and bit
Of tailswitching by the italian lions.
Anyway, she's announced her inten-
darned to the Duke and his Italy-in-
ternational law or not!
His Grace doesn't see things. quite
that way. In his answer to her petition
filed in the Westchester County Supreme
Court he AYERS that when his wife mar
ried an italian citizen she came under
the laws of Italy and is therefore not
Rmenable to New York courts. He says
other things that seem to indicate that
she isn't going to slip through his blue
veined fingers in quite the oiled-schedule
way mapped out. And as the Duke is
the scion Of an ancient and honorable
family-one that dates back to 1872
and numbers among its members Count
Gaetani di Laurenzana-witha all degrees
of homage and everything but money at
its command, it looks quite as though
he might make some noise on his own
account, adding materially to the din
that threatens when the case comes up
for hearing in White Plains.
New York is as busy over the contro-
versy as a cat in a catnip patch. The
pair have kept their domestic problems
under the doormat 80 carefully concealed
from professionally news shifting noses
that nobody's guessed a thing-not a
single thing! And not since the we'd
ding eight months ago, when the bride.
whose years hit the half century mark,
took unto herself a mere infant Of
thirty-four (some say twenty-four) for
a husband, has there been such a stir.
That marriage came like a volcanic
eruption out of a brick pavement. The
engagement was announced in January
by Mrs. John H. Hanan, after the family
returned from a trip through Europe.
The, bride-elect was looked upon as .
settled sort Of spinster, not the kind to
