The Charming Mrs. Robert Graves
of New York, Who Has Gone to
Paris to Seek a Divorce, It l.
Stated, but Must Avoid the
Conservative Quarter.

taking cognizance Of the case Is that both
parties accept the Jurisdiction Of the court.
when the wife files her complaint the
Judge questions her and asks her IL she is
sure she wants divorce and why. II
necessary, he will go to her house and
take her testimony. Then he sends to her
husband and asks him why he does not
live with his wife.
After this the judge orders both parties
to appear before him at a certain date
within ten days. They must appear before
what is called a. Court Of Cancellation
The Judge then makes an effort to bring
about a reconciliation between them, which
he is required by law to do. If he is un-
able to reconcile them he makes his re.
port, which is sent to a higher court, which
is really the divorce court. The superior
Judge considers the report, and gives his
decree. This may be obtained In three
months after beginning proceedings
"All the proceedings may be conducted
in what is practically absolute secrecy.
Although the decree is supposed to be
public, II Is recorded in such a way that
only the persons interested know Of it.
THE grounds on which French law
grants divorce are infdelity, excesses,
bodily injuries. grave insults and condem-
nation to Imprisonment. Most Of these
causes have little to do with Americans,
since both parties have usually agreed
that the divorce Is desirable. The cause
which Is usually sufficient for Americans
Is included under the term grave insults,
which Is a translation of the French phrase,
injures graves
almost any harshness or roughness Of
manner or language may be construed by
the court as a grave insult and ground
for divorce. The court takes into consider.
alton the social standing Of the parties.
Thus an act which might not be consid.
cred q serious insult in one social station
might be so considered in higher one.
"It has been held sufficient cause for
divorce in France that man has not given
any marked sign Of affection toward hts
wife for more than a month. That Is TO
say. such neglect constitutes a serious in.
suit under the law. French wives require
a great deal of attention in their way, and
this point receives due consideration.
'If a Frenchman has called his wife a
camel that Is an insult Of the gravest
character and the Judge will hold up his
hands in amaZement.
1T Is most important that American
husbands and wives, who are going TO
Paris for the purpose Of obtaining q d.
vorce by mutual agreement, should not
allow any evidence OF this fact to como
before the court"
The Washington times., 1922-06-11

No announcement Of the decree was pub
l!shed in Paris and very few people in
New York society knew that she and her
husband had disagreed.
u mustn't say any more about IT," said
Mrs. Mills. Mamma mightnt like It."
Her sister, Barbara, obtained q divorce
from Cyril Hatch with the same Quietness
and dispatch.
The former Mrs. Leonard Thomas. the
noted beauty, poet and suffragist leader,
The Washington times., 1922-06-11

TT is now a matter of general knowledge
that the most fashionable American
= women have lately been going to Paris
for their divorces.
They say It is both pleasanter and easier
to obtain a divorce in the French capital
than in Reno, Nevada, or in any of the
more accommodating American States.
The delights Of driving in the Bois de
Boulogne by day and along the 'grands
boulevards" by night, while awaiting 4
decree are far more attractive to the
Sophisticated type Of American woman
than idling about some Western Main
Street"
And then the French judges grant the
divorce DEGREES with such exquisite cour-
tesy and sympathy.
May have the pleasure of listening to
madame's testimony" is the judges GUS
tomary way of opening the proceedings.
But the other day something like con-
sternation was aroused among our I'M
happy or dissatisfied women who thought
they could always find refuge in an easy
Paris divorce. A dispatch stated that the
French courts, alarmed at the report that
Paris was becoming another Reno hal
decided to grant no more divorces to Amer.
ican citizens.
mo more easy Paris divorces for Amer
lcans," read one headline.
This was the announcement that caused
so much alarm among temperamental So
ciety women who we're planning to obtain
their freedom from unsympathetic hus-
bands while enjoying delightful holiday.
Inuuiries were made Of fashionable divorce
LAWYERS and cables and letters were sent
10 Paris for exact information.
Now Il has been made clear that there
Is no cause for alarm. The dispatch was
misunderstood. Americans will still be
able to obtain Paris divorces with reason
able comfort. The judges Of the Partisan
divorce courts merely decided to make
divorce harder for Americans In one aaron
aissement" out of the twenty into which
Paris Is divided. The acknowledgements"
,f Paris are something like boroughs, each
naving q mayor and marie" where mar
iages are performed and other legal for
ualities attended to.
The Judges ordered that in the Eighth
Arrondissement" divorces should only be
given to foreigners when both parties had
Iheir unquestionable legal residence in the
district, and where they could offer un'
questionable evidence that neither Of them
came there for the purpose OF starting the
suit. These rules would have excluded
most of the Americans who have recently
obtained divorces.
The Eighth ACCOMPLISHMENT, where easy
divorce is forbidden, is the central resi-
DENTAL district of Paris, containing the
Elysee Palace, which Is the residence OF
the President; the official homes Of the
Cabinet Ministers. the British Embassy
and the mansions OF the Rothschilds and
many OF the leaders of Paris society.
Information from Paris shows there Is

OUR FIRST YEAR
By a Bride

I'm tired OF trying to live by that
old budget. i guess we didn't make
it out properly. Anyway, l seem to
have some necessary expenses with no
fund to draw on. For instance. when
l made candy TO give to the girls
starting off on their summer travels,
some of the cost is for sugar and be
longs in my food bill, but what am
to do with the price Of the lovely boxes

When Mrs. Herrod went away, for
Jacks sake, 1 made her a wonedrful

led fruits in an elegant box, 1t cost

my bills TO Jack, and the pile grows

month. The dear boy has just fin
ished paying for tho overstuffed pieces.
| asked him whom he had insured TO
get a percentage big enough TO pay
that bill. And then he owned up that
he had had to draw on his savings ac-
count!
He told me so sweetly, didn't seem
to be sorry, although I know he hated
to disturb his savings. He said once
more that he ought to be earning dou

Berton BraleyS Daily Poem
THE CUP THAT QUEERS

How dear to some hearts is the booleggers liquor
Which many citizen brings into view
There's nothing earth that will do the work quicker
OF giving the drinker terrible stew;
And If you love varnish and furniture polish,
II hair dye is stuff you crazy to sip,
Your health and strength swiftly demolsh
By Of the liquor that's packed the hip
The flavoring extract, the chemical compound.
Which come sfrom the bottle that's the hip!
I've the stuff poured In a number of glasses
At parties and dinners where revelry swirled
And then watched the guests in inanimate masses
Removed from the premises--dead to the world
Oh, joyous 1t is TO attain condition
Where all ones surroundings whrl joggle and skip,
And then spend week with q high.priced physician
To you Of hooch that the hip
The new-fanged liquor, the etherzed liquor
Which from the bottle that's the hipl
Which parboil the stomach and wither the lip;
Oh, gay is the life of the booteggers' victim
Who drinks-and then winks to find out if he's blind
Who wakes in three days to inquire what has kicked him
And why he has dreams Of horrible kind.
Yes, great are the rum and the gin and the whisky
I'd rather get gay with rattesnake frisky
Than fool with the liquor that comes from the hip
The sulphuric liquor the carboc liquor
Which comes from the bottle that's the hip.

SENSIBLE ROAD ACTION.

REPRESENTATIVE CHARLES D. CARTER OF
this congressional district has introduced SEN
sibe amendment to the house public road act pro-
vidng increased ratio of federal aid for states hav
ing non-taxable Indian land. This is one of the most
sensible steps toward getting for Oklahoma what it
should have in the way OF federal aid that has been
taken.
Oklahoma has always been burdened with non
taxable Indian land The citizens OF the state own
Eg taxable property have carried a governmental
burden. Many state taxes minerals from Indian
lands have been held invalid The state has lost heavily
on what should belong to it.
There should never be opportunity overlooked
for getting for the state part OF the money that is
taken out OF its public funds by virtue of the non
taxable Indian property OF the state. This increased
ratio is not exenton OF favor to Oklahoma 1t is
merely matter OF payment by the federal govern
ment OF debt that should be met in some manner
eveyr year. ii road money is available that is the
way % sc; it.
