Married in France

Sailor Aunt national tribune:
Apropos Of things matrimonial is
the trouble which our Toys in France
have had in taking to themselves
better halves from the charming
daughters Of La, Belle France whom
either a kind or unkind fortune has
thrown into their arms. l read that
anywhere from 5000 to 10000 Amer
lean soldiers have succumbed to the
attractions of these girls. and have
put the fatal question with the most
satisfactory of results. Deaf and
blind. especially blind. must be the
girl who refuses the pleadings Of an
American soldier: Well. having
popped" our boys imagined that
everything else was plain sailing. bat
when it came to marrying the girl.
they came up against so much red
tape that something pretty nearly
akin to despair settled down upon
their hearts.
These boys say that trying to get
married in France is like cutting
German barbed wire before a bat
tie" which is probably somewhat
exaggerated idea of the difficulties.
But there are difficulties. all right.
The American wishing to marry a
French girl is compelled to furnish
an affidavit that he is native Amer
lean and unmarried. A certificate
testified to by witness. and sworn
to by United States consul. shov--
ing his hor-e address. is also re-
quired. He must have the consent
Of his commanding officer in writ
ing, which consent is turned over to
the Minister Of Foreign Affairs. who
must also indorse the consufs afh-
davit I understand that. in addition
adventurous soldier to live at least
80 days in the same city. town. or
village with his proposed wife. in
order. l presume. that the folks"
may have some idea of the man who
is to take their daughter so far away
from them. With all this l am il
sympathy. Marrying is made far too
easy with US according to my way
of thinking. The matrimonial re-
quirements which French laws and
customs demand from the girl are
even more discouraging and delay
ing.
All this has proved a most I'M
pleasant eyc-opener to our eager
young wooers. Many of them did not
make up their minds to marry until
just before sailing for home. They
imagined they could do very much
as is done in America-pay dollar
for a license, then start for a minis
ter with another dollar in the pocket,
half day being plenty to finish up
the whole business If time were linn
tied. However. in spite Of these
drawbacks, which have only stiff
ened their determination, from 5000
to 10000. they say. will be able to
present the little French wife to
mother and the girls" a little later
on.
