PARIS NOW THE RENO
FOR RICH AMERICANS
Freedom From Publicity Lure
for Mismated Couples; Three
Grounds for Action.

ly Associated Press 60 Every Evening.
Paris, July 29.-~Tbe increasing mum
her Of divorces obtained in PnrIs by
prominent Americans and other for
cigners seeking relief from matrimonial
infclicity has led TO many inquiries as TO
why the French capital apparently
hns become such o European Reno Tor
discontentcd spouses.
The chief magnet appears to he IN the
fact that divorce proceedings may. be
brought in French courts with silent
ense and completed without even friends
and acm,aintances becoming aware, Mt
lenst through the medium OF French
newspnpcrs, thnt there has been the
slightest ripple on the sea OF domesticltty.
Publication Of such proceedings by
native newspapers is criminal ofense,
on the ground Of lowering public morals.
The newspapers may print the names OF
those involved, if they can obtain them,
and the fact that n divorce has been
granted, but nothing more.
There nre three grounds Tor divorce
in France. Adultery, conviction OF
felony and cruelty. Both physical vio-
Ience and mental anguish are accepted
under the heading of cruelty. Neither
party 10 q divorce is allowed to rerDprry
I'm France within ten months, because
Of the question Of custody and sus'
tenanco for the children.
II. II. Barrault, u French advocat,
who has made inquiries into the nuinbei
of divorces granted 10 Americans II
French courts, says there have not beer
more than twenty in any one year. bu
that the divorces mostly were prorninen
rich persons, which accounts Tor tn
great publicity given in the Americai
press. This gives tho appearance OF
much larger number Of divorces he ssys
than are really obtained.

Where is Miguel, Stella? am not here to fight for his favor I shall never see him again, maybe, but I have something of importance to tell him now and this is foolish of us to stand and quarrel, Stella. Surely for old sake's sake you and I can meet and exchange friendly greetinGs2" she finished wistful1y.
 Never. I feel no friendship for you. Princess she replied, mock ingly. You go your way and I go mine, and better far for you if your path never crosses with mine again. Gypsy blood is swift and hot. It brooks no interference where love is concerned"
 Ilona's only reply to this was a shake of the head. Then with sigh she turned and called to Gay to fol- low her.
 Without a backward look she led her brother away from the spot where Stella stood scowling.
 What mean expression that girl has, Lona," whispered Gay as they hurried off farther into the woods. And was it she who answered your whistle before? I'll say she hates you. And that was the same girl I saw watching you from down the noad before we got off our horse" he went on, excitedly q remember her big, bad black eyes,
 Flush. dear, come quickly Mi gue1 must be round here. We'll find him by ourselves"

SMOOTH WHITE HANDS

The woman who wishes to cultivate smooth white hands must learn how to work with gloves on. No woman can do housework and keep her hands smooth of skin and free from stains. She can keep them much better looking than the average house worker does, for the average housewife is very careless about the appearance of her hanGs. I do not blame her, for the work of even a small house is quite enough to occupy all the time and strength of the or do less work must find some effective
 means of protecting the hands.
 This means working with gloves rubber gloves when the hands are in water and canvas gloves for sweep ing, dusttng and garden work At inst gloves will seem awkward, but in week or less you can manage quite as conveniently with them as without In fact, if the hands are prematuirely old, if the skin is dry and wrinkled and the nails are de- Veloping ugly ridges you can turn your housework into a beauty treat ment for the hands by rubbing them full. of cold cream or Vaseline. or some nourishing oil such as olive or almond oil, ,or even full of plain white lard. Then pull on the rubber gloves and continue with your houseworlx> knowing that your hands are being nourished and kept youthfuIand that when you are through your work and wash off the oil you will find the skin smooth, clean and soft looking.
 After @ little the hands will begin
