Victorian Ideas Fall
 Before Modern Flat

London, J ne 5 (AP)-The long fight of the remaining Victorians against modernism is on the wane. The high taxes since the war 1lave steadily changed the huge country estates into farms and subdivisions. The new social system is, of course, radicalism 10 the Victorian mind. but today the Victorians who con- tinue to live in their lofty Mayfair houses are deserting these for inex- pensive fats.
 During the last year scores Of Mayfair houses have been turned into self contained flats, while others are plastered with rent and sale signs. Ire latest defections from the ranks of the nineteenth century conservatives are Lady Constance Leslie, and Alice, Countess of Straf- ford, both famous hostesses of 50 years ago. Lady Constance has sold her Manchester Square residence where she used to entertain Queen Victoria, Dickens, Thackery, Glad

Creek and a naturalized American

Greek and naturalized American
resident of San Francisco. His sweet
heart came from Athens to become
his bride. Roukes had heard how
easy 1t was to be married by proxy
at Casablanca. He arranged with
an alternate, another Greek, to go
through the ceremony in his stead
while he remained in San Francisco.
Everything went smoothly. Roukes
became the absentee husband 5000
miles away, while another man made
responses which bound the widely
separated twain. That was according
to Cuban law. After the proxy rites
Roukes' accommodating alternate put
the bride aboard a ship bound for
New Orleans. There she was held
up by immigration inspectors. That
sixth sense" upon which so much
depends was functioning perfectly.
The alien representing herself to be
Mrs. Roukes of San Francisco pre-.
sented her marriage certificate. There
was nothing in 1t to show that the
bridegroom named was not present at
the wedding. But the inspectors were
skeptical They telegraphed to

When 1t was explained to her that

married in Cuba to a decidedly un-
married husband in the United States.
Not only did she not have husband
but she was woman without a
country-and is still, for that matter.
For the Cuban law, which recognizes
the proxy marriage as legal also es-
tablishes her as an American citizen.
And as yet America will not have her
Made Trouble for the Bride.
Her case became more and more
involved later. on. Banzas came to
Cuba from New York, and on October
took his future wife to the court
at Casa Blanca. She went through
the ceremony d second time, on this
occasion with the real bridegroom
participating. They went straight
way to the American consulate and
demanded visa for Mrs. BanZas.
Consular employees detected new
flaw in the documents. 1t seems that
the ma g'istrate at Casa Blanca, the
convenient marriage court, had failed
to afflX his signature TO the Certlh-
cate. He was perfectly justified in
committing that oversight. Because
of certain peculiarities in Cuban mar
riage laws it would place the magis-
trate in the position OF aiding and
abetting a crime. The law is that a
person once married shall not re-
marry unless his mate happens to die
or becomes divorced The provision
is absolute.

signature was worthless.
Mr.. BanZas of New York now finds
himself in a most bewildering situa-
ton. He is married in Cuba but not
in America. He cannot take his bride
to his home until they are united in
accordance with the laws of the
United States. If he took her she

Cannot Dissolve Proxy Marriage.


The proxy marriage must be an
nulled before the BanZases can be
remarked and there is no legal
ground on which Cuban courts would
be justified in declaring the proxy
wedding void, since it was legally
performed
There is one more thing the Ban
Eases have to worry about. If by any
chance Banzas is allowed to take to
America the woman he married by
ppoXy here it will be on condition
that they stand up together and ac-
cept each other for better or worse
a pledge which Banzas has already
made once by absent treatment and
once in person, and which the bride
has gone through with twice.
If they do marry again they auto
matically become bigamists so far
as Cuba is concerned. 1t all seems
absurdly impossible. But that is the
way 1t is.
At this writing Banzas' bride is
without the pale. Her application for
a visa is still withheld.

About half a dozen bills along this line have been intro- duced.

The Richard Mansfield Players made their debut before Putnam audience at the Bradley Theatre.

 Something about the Richard Mans field Players gives one honey. friendly. feeling. as If they were not strangers. The audience is made 10 feel that they are endeavoring to please and to engender friendship. It k announced that the company will make frequent visits to Putnam. l. Is to be hoped that their reception Mon day night was such that they will ad= here to this plan. Putnam people lik- ed the players at first sight and will certainly get to like them still better upon further acquaintance. How the Richard Mansfield Players liked their Putnam audience will be evidenced by whether or not they return at an cal ly date and often.
 Probably few in the audience had ever seen Mrs. Mansfield. She has U charming personality and her acting is appealing. She had a character in Mrs. Ingalls,. that offered excellent op- portunity to display her refinement of mannerism, gracious department, and pleasant voice.
